LUNATIC SHOPPING THE RESOLUTION

Home deliveries for the Over 70s and Vulnerable only  ....

some one said first hour in the morning OAPs only, using the freshly cleaned trolleys. could alternate that with essential workers.

we could arm the police with the order 'dont shoot until you see the whites of their eyes'

If the situation does not Improve they need to do something

Shops could be replenished Nightly ,Would also restrict the numbers of people that are out ...

I think that’s an excellent idea jolly (the first part..)

Bet they would still fight though!

it is common sense and simple, i dk where i read it but its genius

sadly you are right, we may need the police at supermarkets.

I think they are doing that already , They are up here ?? Its after the first 2 hours the chaos ensues there are hundreds of people outside the shops within inches of each other

totally agree with FREE deliveries for all 70+
come on Boris put your foot down.

Iceland was the first supermarket to confirm the change in hours, prompting calls from customers for other grocers to follow suit.

As well as supermarkets, banks have also started dedicating hours to pensioners.

It comes as cases of coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, have jumped to 2,692 in the UK with 137 deaths reported at the time of writing.

Its being done Already , Not made any difference to the rest of us we all need to eat .......

Dont know about today but Thursday PM  the shelfs were empty NO MILK BREAD EGGS FRESH MEAT ETC

End of month will be Carnage with those on monthly pay hitting the shops and Loading up

Might pop into Dyas and see about bread making.. bet flour isn’t easy to come by though!

on tv i saw a shop in one of the asian countries and they had a stripe of tape on the floor every two metres, you move forward when the person in front moves forward so keeping distance. i thought we were suppose to be good at queueing, it seems not.

Indeed JS,good point, perspex screens at the point of sale as well to protect staff and custumers,implement a lot in Ireland.

Mrs Saying the the Big Tescos in Gateshead a massive shop ,shelfs a lot better today , Perhaps after the initial Hysteria things will calm down

Just been down to loacal Sainsburys. Place was half empty as was car park, could have done a shop if required though would have missed a few things. Was expecting place to be rammed. 

Still don't get the run on fresh food though. Going to be a load of 'fresh' stuff bought several days agao flytipped this weekend when it starts going off.

Boots Pharmacy where she works only Pharmacy part from next week , rest of shop closed

Doesnt make sense Kansas ,Was not a bit of Fresh meat in the Shop thursday , must be freezing it

Don't know about you Case but I have a fridge freezer, like most households with a couple of kids I suppose, and there is only a limited amount of stuff I can fit into it at any one time.

Took the half-empty Sainsburys to be a indication perhaps people have 'hoarded out' for the time being at least.

Some people are clearly panic buying freezers as well it seems

I think retailers need to get a bit smarter about how they limit customers to two items each.

Eg If you buy two tins each of chicken meatballs, beef meatballs, chilli con carne, 10 different varieties or brands of soup, that will still cause a problem.

Also, you can buy 2 x 4 toilet rolls or 2 x 12.

If you suspect any retailers overpricing since the start of covid-19,report by calling on;

Why? Unless the empty shelves is a permanent thing at supermarkets eg in North Korea? Just limit one item per product per shopper with great big signs in-store as reminders, and security guards at checkout and door to police.

Only 3 tins permitted at Sainsbury regardless of whether it's tin beans, tin sweetcorn or tin carrots.

NAP landed. Seems Derby is the leading culprit so far, though plenty of boroughs still to return figures

it's the returning of plastic bags full of tins to food banks by embarrassed ladies in large range rovers etc that will be worth a SUN expose
