"whilst filling up this morning i at a sainsburys i thought it was a lot busier then normal, expecting more people over christmas, so chatted to one of the staff, and they said its double points promotions. oh well fair enough .... then wondered into the store, and was given a coupon for 10 x nectar points, the store was close to be being rammed, no social distancing whats so ever. understand more then anyone on businesses are in it for the money, but would of thought the government would of advised no promotions during covid etc the stores are making a killing anyway so why the need to hype up the public? " I take it you don’t normally do the stripping Christmas week... being closed to rammed is a step back from the normal of being rammed! I was pleasantly surprised I didn’t have to queue to get in! | |||

"Sainsburys, actually put out a post this morning saying... Expecting a, shortage of cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, green leaf salads, and citrus, fruits for Christmas Was, this done deliberately to cause panic buying or was it genuine is anyone's guess. Anyway I went to tesco and got the whole lot just in case " It’s reality, when supply chain gets shut down for 48 hrs shelves will run dry on some items. | |||

A stampede I worked in retail I know most of the tricks used to get people to shop | |||

"I love people moaning about the shops and how busy they are... like they have priority over everyone else or a more valid reason for being there! "And in answer to the OP, I think you'll find that promotions are not the determining factor, when people are doing their shopping. It's helpful but I certainly wouldn't make an additional trip to the shop just because I'll get more points or a bit of extra cash off. | |||

"I look at what I buy in a supermarket- Meat: largely UK Fish: mix of UK and foreign Vegetables: largely foreign especially in winter Fruits: largely foreign especially in winter Wine, cheese: largely foreign Rice, pasta, pulses: foreign If there's a supply chain problem, I'm fucked! No fun living off turnips and home brewed Mead. " You'd think it's permanent. We're really fucked.
We tend to eat 3x what our body needs anyway.  | |||

" Vegetables: largely foreign especially in winter What about parsnips, beetroot, kale, cabbage, sprouts, chard, spinach, chicory to name a few home grown winter vegetables" Parsnips all day long in this house, along with other frozen veg. Queuing system at all our big stores today, but no different than the last lockdown, controlled numbers. But could walk straight into M&S or the 8 Tesco extras we have. The food is there if you are willing to adapt. | |||

"Daily Star headline made me laugh this morning. Not sure you'll find much inside the paper, but worth a look for a laugh." Hence my comment further up about our Resident panic buyers Mr and Mrs Fuckwitt .... bless em!! Let them stockpile alll the veg they want... they will learn - well probably they won’t actually!! I just wish they would stockpile (and use) conforms - at least it would stop them replicating xx R xx | |||
