so i'm being forced to break quarantine less than 24 hours in 🙂
thanks tesco
im off to work this week, cant afford to live on SSP
They can't keep the shelves stocked
so they want more time to do so
without people ransacking the place
Makes sense
hope y'all got food for a while
Its like being in the 2nd World War
yep
only without the bombing, and (afaik) supply chain issues
it's mostly due to panic buying at this stage i think
so they have trouble keeping shelves full
good thing nothing sentient is trying to kill us
but this is why it was a good idea like a month ago to get a few weeks of extra supplies
before everyone went nuts
guess a lot of people will be showering their asses soon
the only think I am worried about is milk.
I didn't get the idea of buying lots and freezing it
yeah i've got frozen milk, but i dont care that much about it tbh
might have to have something else for breakfast
just use it in drinks
Well, I'm not too sure what's happening, as I stopped listening to the news
You guys don't have canned milk
Imagine not having introduced a law to prevent price gouging in times of crisis.
price gouging makes sense, and it takes 2 brain cells to make sure you are never a victim of it
Someone raised the price of something eightfold, bam, fines.
"oh shit, a highly infectious virus is slowly breaking its way out of the original country, maybe i should grab that extra bad of rice"
*bag
> it takes 2 brain cells to make sure you are never a victim of it
how can braincells prevent retailers from increasing prices on essentials?
or do I just NOT buy hand sanitiser?
i dont see a problem with them raising the price of something to suit demand, you're just telling them to run their business improperly.
no, I'm telling them to quit being fucking jews about it, is all
you're telling them to run a business, in a manor that is inefficient
yes, people will have to pay more, but thats because the whole country didnt think and suddenly needs everything nonperishable all at once
if not screwing your customers is inefficient, then I am OK with inefficiency
if it were screwing them on price that badly, they wouldnt pay it, there are several other stores that they could go to that arent raising prices out of desire for moral virtue.
