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

cant get bog roll anywhere

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.

usually the smaller ones

lol

of course the large chains will, it makes literally 0 sense not to and i dont see a problem with it

I can live off cereal

I haven't made my mind up about price gouging yet either

It’s either taking advantage of worried people or a legit buisness practice
