The shops aren't shutting you just might need to queue for a bit which because of panic buying you're going to have to do anyway, only without a mask so putting yourself at more risk. Havent once panic bought and have no intention of ever doing so. In both lockdowns I have headed to Coop and other small shops near me and theres been no problem in getting anything I've needed with virtual zero queuing . Why go to Tesco or M and S etc when you can go small and local . Okay costs a little bit more but in the big picture its worth it . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No queues. Plenty of stock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I've only been in Shoprite in a year around a couple of times but agree when I was in first lockdown it was very good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On facebook when there's an imminent lockdown, all the Karen's in Tesco complaining that people are in Tesco. It's like car drivers on the road complaining that the road is busy with cars. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Everyone always moaning about everyone else on Facebook seems to be a current theme lately. But it's really easy to quit Facebook. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barlow Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Is it panic buying or is it stocking up for the lockdown. In a lockdown you need to stay in. What's the point if everyone is meandering round the shops eavery other day shopping for food. Some places gave people say, 72 hours to stock up and then there was an absolute curfew. Stay in your house until lockdown is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's really easy to quit Facebook. I dont mind facebook and can usually read between the lines with certain posters . It was a godsend for me when struggling a few years ago with mental health issues and was my only link with the world. Yes I know ! but it worked for me and helped being involved and inputting on issues with my sanity . On here if not in a good place can be daunting with some posters . 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were to ever find myself constantly moaning about it I definitely would. No question. Same as those people who constantly moan about the IOM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're doing it because they're thick as shit and think pasta and toilet rolls will run out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re so irresponsible and should be staying at home! I don’t think they understand the concept of irony! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
