ruffers Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Re Panic buying. I read a piece today about how things look - if they sell 50 extra packs of 9 bog rolls that's a lot of bulk, shelf empties, looks like the end of the world. 50 tins of beans? Far less visual impact. Hence the focus on bog roll.But the former leads to the panic, and off we go...

Penguin68 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I had to call in first thing this morning. Some stock had been moved around (e.g.cooking oils) but shelves all seemed stocked. Including loo rolls. No obvious signs of panic buying at that time. But if people over buy during the day then shelves are only being restocked over night, at a guess.

The shelves had certainly been cleared of all loo rolls but they'd just brought the crates out for restocking. More of the population is becoming aware of this, same deal with handwash.

cactus Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Popped in on Wednesday afternoon, noticed that the loo roll shelves were almost empty, plus paracetamol and vitamin c supplements completely sold out. Didn't bother looking at the hand sanitiser situation!

seenbeen Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I feel sorry for the people who live on benefits week to week and cannot afford to bulk buy anything.

Zig-Zag Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I suspect the loo roll sell out is because, other than kitchen rolls, which also seem to be snapped up, there's no real alternatived...well not acceptable ones! Whereas most of us could rustle up something to eat if we run out of our preferred foods from odds and sods in the cupboards.

first mate Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Yes, in that respect, bulk buying seems an incredibly selfish thing to do. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/242842-sainsburys-dog-kennel-hill/page/6/#findComment-1407234 Share on other sites More sharing options...
herne hilly Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I would also like to add if people do start to use kitchen roll,wet wipes and boxed tissue - please do not flush them down the toilet, as these will block toilets/sewers - please use a bin to dispose of it (this is quite common in countries which do not have adequate sewer pipes).And there is always free metro newspapers to use, anyone else remember that tracing paper stuff they used to have in schools years ago Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/242842-sainsburys-dog-kennel-hill/page/6/#findComment-1407255 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulwich Born And Bred Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Bonkers. But people don?t bulk buy during the flu/cold season. I?m guessing hand washing and bum wiping isn?t standard judging by all the silly bulk buying.

AylwardS Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 The current panic buying is something that to give them the benefit of the doubt could have come as a surprise. As a regular customer of many years it does seem to be worse recently. We have been in more than once and not been able buy a 2 pint organic milk or Sainsburys own brand coffee beans. This hasn?t just happened once or twice when you could think the person in charge of ordering (though isn?t it all done by a computer now?) was off. Milk and coffee are pretty much staples and I?d imagine demand is fairly consistent year round. Different for seasonal items.If just one person reads this and takes less of an item they were going to stock up on it?ll be worth it.Re the current panic buying once it starts it affects us all, for a few days at least until the shops restock. One plea if you are stocking up spare a thought for those with existing medical conditions who might need the items you are stocking up to go about their daily life. An example someone with a disease that affects their immune system might use hand sanitiser on a day to day basis. If they can?t buy more because there is none on the shelves in the shops and its sitting in someone?s bathroom cabinet unused what do they do?

Penguin68 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 As a heads up, anything offering bacterial resistance is of no use against viruses. Its the physical process of washing and rinceing your hands which washes the virus off your hands, it's not anything magic in the soap.

SpringTime Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Made the mistake of coming here again today. Sorry. Saw seven vehicles in the carpark sitting there with engines running. There may have been more, obviously - in fact probably all day... horrid place.

JohnL Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 If this happens people deserve what they get - if you take all the stuff and leave some of the population without - the virus will have a field day and those with the stuff won't be protected from it.
