Sorry to hear all the bad times with lockdown, a sick wife, kids and puppy wanting attention, work etc.
Sounds like a battle from day to day.
Diddums post was top drawer, loved every word and detail he added.
I personally have seen the carnage first hand, I mentioned I work in retail.
I actually work for Tesco. I watch the undead buy all the supplies. By the time I'm done, nothing left.
Selfish bastards who hit multiple shops, also filling a trolley then sending in another family member straight after.
Switching between different checkout operators, self service, kiosk. And then have online orders arriving later.
I see it everyday, people are getting better at controlling the greed. But alas there is still Arseholes about, either stockpiling or abusing shop staff verbally.
Our deputy manager actually called a customer "A fucking Arsehole, get out of the shop" lifetime ban the lot.
Many people are warned, told to calm down etc. Let them vent a bit. If they continue to be cunts, then they will leave with nothing and told to not darken this door again.
Staff confiscate excess goods on limits, staff really are doing their best to monitor and control the situation.
I give the buying power another week, people's cards must be maxed by now. How do people have the money?
It can't last forever this hoarding.
