My scientific calculator says 5318008. This, however, may be more of a reflection of my puerile sense of humour than my ability to model the spread of coronavirus. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorlomin Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 1 hour ago, Moomintroll said: Utter nonsense frankly, if we actually had the products these wankthedugs are selfishly hoarding the sales figures would be far higher. Yesterday morning we had more people queueing up to get in than we would usually serve in the first 3 hours of trading. Quote I strongly suspect there isn't actually much panic buying or hoarding in the way we imagine. Supermarkets in the UK took £193.4bn in revenue in 2019, which is £3.7bn/week. £1bn extra has been added over 3 weeks: approx 10% rise per week for 3 weeks. That's small, give that... People are buying larger quantities of relatively cheap goods, things like bags of pasta and toilet paper come in at around a £1 or so each. While they are likely buying less electronic goods, cloths etc. Also Quote Supermarkets in the UK took £193.4bn in revenue in 2019, A large chunk of that will be November December. This will likely slightly distort comparing early March with an annual average. The buying patterns are very focused on certain products, this makes those products less available while likely others are languishing unsold on the racks. That is pretty much panic buying. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yurp, that is exactly what we are seeing, bizarrely enough you can make perfectly good meals from what is left but if they haven't read about in the papers,they don't want to buy it. They are utter fuckwitted shitgibbons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Just saw a guy come out of Greggs. As he was putting his money in to his wallet he didn't have any free hands to hold his baked purchase, so he held the bag in his mouth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
