the Haribo will be rationed next!!
Doesnt look like there are any 'loaves' left! And looking at the sign that is a tesco store. Where in the UK is that?
And why does everyone panic buy bread when the bad weather sets in. Its not like it is hard to make your own from a few simple ingredients. Its like people cant survive without milk and bread!
One of my work colleagues tried to go to the local Asda at lunchtime (about 1 mile away). He gave up after spending 10 minutes in the queue to get in the car park.
Said he could see into the store through the huge windows and it was RAMMED, car park was carnage.
There doesn't appear to be a limit on the amount of Haribo you can buy though. You could live like a king with all that Fantasy Mix.
Yeah, panic buy the Haribo instead. It's much harder to make yourself.
The customer is only allowed two episodes of loafing? What is the world coming to?
just popped out to get a sarny for lunch at Tescos Whaley(where its usually) quite and its a nightmare... fist fights at the tills ! And ques to get into the petrol station... wtf.. its almost like some of the shops are closed for a whole day....
why does no one panic buy flour and yeast?
Maybe it's kicked off in Korea 😡
Was that notice written by a 7 year old?
Never mind- theres plenty of booze a few aisles up!
I just went to Tesco, one of those huge ones, it was ok. Not too busy, but it did take ten minutes to use the self service checkout.
Everything I scanned threw up an error.
Quirell - The machines have finally turned against us.
Most worrying is the fact that anyone would want to buy bread from Tesco in the first place.
Horrible, manky gunge.
It felt like it.
Bananas - beep - error - wait for assistance
Memory card - beep - error - wait for assitance
Tescos finest fruit juice - beep - put in basket - unexpected item in basket
Camera - beep - error unexpected item in basket - I hadn't put anything in at that point, did realise though that mrs q was leaning on the scales.
Heaven forbid if you try to purchase alcohol.
Computer says 'no.'
Bloody hell ... we are all doomed ... 😆
You can't beat working shifts half a mile from a 24 hour Tesco.
I'll pop in tonight on my way home and load up the Land Rover with as much food as it will carry before all the idiots go in there panic buying.

Fixed that for you....

We let the Waitrose van battle through the snow to get here on Tuesday. Why bother going through all that hassle ? Van arrived just as I was off biking. Left the Mrs to do the hard work...
/smug off
wait til the oil runs out....
I used to work in a supermarket. Christmas was unreal.
I am already drinking the water out the toilet.....
I can't spell armageddon. It's not the end of the world.
Its curious that you can only buy two packs of flu remedy, yet you can buy twenty trolleys of booze.

It's MUCH easier to kill yourself with paracetamol than people realise, so they restrict how much can be sold at one time.
I suspect this only helps the accidental overdoses though as any dedicated to the job will just go to another shop and get sone more. The real tragedy is that folk take a box, it does nothing, so they buy another box, take that, then another - and by doing this they guarantee the antidote won't work and are doomed to a fairly grim death as their liver slowly packs up.
(Apologies for killing a previously jolly thread)

Eh? It's rather *harder* to kill yourself (at least quickly) with paracetamol. Tends to make you v ill, then results in lasting organ damage.
Stupidly went to Asda this morning at its opening time 0800 to get the small shop for over crimbo, within 10 mins you couldn't push a trolley down the aisles it was that rammed.
I stuck to her list and got the F*** out of there, my god it was ridiculous.
But I think it's easy to kill yourself with ibuprofen. Yet I can only have two boxes of those.
And now I hear that I can't buy Brazil nuts in shells because the shells are poisonous. Despite the fact that almost no-one in the UK has been made ill.
Nannyism.
😯
Is this because of Christmas or the weather?
Shop locally.
When you combine a bit of bad weather and all the stupid people who buy enough food for a fortnight, for a 24-48hr period at Christmas, no wonder the shelves are empty.
Britain is populated largely by really thick people!
Who will be a bit heavier in a few days time.
Apparently Easter is the busiest period for our local Tesco.
It was fine here yesterday, as was Sainsburys. Asda on Tuesday was ridiculous - got too annoyed at the plebs & gave up after 5minutes...
Did a last minute dash to the local Tesco for some ingredients for a curry and it was a bit mental. One woman had pints and pints of milk. She must have been planning to bathe in the stuff. Loads of bread left though.
Plenty of bread yesterday at the ASDA, they gave a chap a huge sack of bread rolls for free, who then donated them to me, and today i have been feeding all the ducks, squirrels and little birds with red legs at the local park.
Be out again tomorrow if anyone wants some large bread rolls.
