Supermarkets lose money on online shopping. They simply do it so they are the same as competitors.

of course they do but that doesn't explain why punters rather go in the shop still. i reckon it costs something like £15 per delivery but i pay less than a quid

As a prelude Impossible you have massive supermarket queues this evening,(tesco Dublin 15 had to close due to public order offences,a lot of pubs now shutting, it is herd mentality the shelves will be restocked,still prudent to have a bit extra in for yourself. ------------- Meanwhile - the over-reactive Varadkar is in the USA - well away from all the panic that he has caused |

A quick online shopping guide- Your packet of biscuits/ fish fingers is ordered (call centre/IT support etc), collected by a "shopper", scanned bagged and placed in a separate area/ freezer in a different dedicated section of the store, overseen be team leaders and an online manager, collected by a driver who is trained and signed off by an outside agency, put in his leased delivery van fuelled and maintained by the supermarket chain, delivered to the customer who, if the order is big enough, gets a tenner discount. Any returns from customers are taken back to store, unloaded and placed back on shelves/freezer.
Try and make money out of that. |

For certain items eg fruits, fish and meat are best bought instore as one could choose and not leave to the judgement of their staff. However, I do do a big shop online for favourites (if on special offers) eg wild red salmon/duck breast if accompanied with discount vouchers.

@ Onlooker,he(LV) has flown back this morning,yes,a certain amount of panic, meanwhile your PM answer seems to be f8ck people,the economy comes 1st,let them(the population) catch it and that will build up immunity for the future???????
Is that correct? You happy with that? Do they know best? |

Bit like the turkey having a christmas party, racist impossible coming on here talking about racing in ireland that he cant afford to watch on racing tv. For your information i was in cheltenham three days. Most english blokes washed their hands in the toilet, very few used the hand sanitizers which were especially introduced as i understand it.... as for masks not one spotted anywhere except bristol airport. There was absolutely very little consideration for the virus in the u k. When i arrived back in ireland last night it was like chalk and cheese. Irish much more pro active, prepared and more scarred of it.

I don't expect you to answer back Onlooker,your cheap "Irish" dig was unwarranted particulary in the light of your British goverments total apathy regarding your citizens.

I went into a couple of supermarkets and eggs, bread and loo rolls were sparse. Even shoppers with hand baskets seemed to be buying more. If this gets worse (I think it will before it gets better) more panic buying will surely follow on today's observation.

i stayed in last weekend and avoided the packed bars in town and mates thought i was being too cautious ,now they're worried they may even have the virus as they went out last night

Its making me think its a test run even more
People are literally falling into line, am I the only one who thinks this is nonsense ? Even my family have fallen for this and they are normally "its fear porn" Auntie has 500 tins of beans in the back bedroom  |

I am of the belief that this virus was here in ireland before christmas. Good friend plays santy and twelve days before xmas he had a little kid from china sneeze on him whilst his mum who was also chinese was taking pictures. She told him the kid wasnt well. Few days later my mate was off sick from work, then i got it and so did my wife, so did four others from a pre christmas get together.( My friend , 82 years of age, died on January 12th.) About a week before xmas, my doc confirmed I had a chest infection caused by a virus. i couldnt stop coughing. He gave me nothing to start , saying antibiotics were harmful and you can build up an immunity against them ,he told me paracetomol , not the first time i ignored him, I was back on xmas eve, he gave me steroids and an antibiotic and that was xmas cancelled for us. I seriously think this virus was not found in china until the chinese authorities put a name on it in december. If it was about in November the figures would have been building there just as they are now across europe.

Someone said to me him and his wife got some dose like nothing before and thinks it was the virus about 5/6 weeks ago, he was a fella that won't be over reacting but saying that a good few viruses out there.
Very likely the whispers are correct and complete lockdown imminent particulary with the planes have to be in by Thursday. Such a sad time for the world,the rammifications don't bear thinking about. |

The pubs in the countryside are open but you have to go in via the back door. Good luck policing pubs tomorrow

Go raibh mile maith agat!
Your brother doesn't know that at the stroke of midnight he is going to be put on a bonfire with the rest of the village singing "Come out ye black and tans" in an effort to stave off the virus  .You aren't wrong though in re sneaky pub openings probably and house parties too,pity as if everyone adhered to a lockdown it might be of good. |

Well he is panicking a bit as he is English and just gone to see his Irish girlfriend so he has asked her brother to introduce him to the landlord today. I am not sure the last time he took Communion because he is a sinner but he never took the soul!
Right I need to go to babelfish to translate that. He actually went on his own to border town and his English accent raised some issues but they soon realised he was an irreverent pish head and was eventually warmly accepted. |
