Lets Close the Supermarkets....

[surveyor]

Seems a bit wild I know.

But think about it. Online or telephone orders only. Offer support to help those who are not online friendly.

Supermarket can control stockpiling. Ask for volunteers to help deliver the food. Obviously leave on door stop for resident to pick up - not go into someone's house.

Best of all... I won't have to got to the bloody supermarket.. (actually I'd be happy to volunteer to do some deliveries).

[Cold]

No thanks. Delivery companies are patchy at the best of times.

[AdamD]

No thanks, do you want civil unrest?

Just pushes customers to smaller shops and it's highly likely to panic people even more.

Interesting, I did say to Mrs Tribal earlier we should get a cow. Endless supply of milk and then when things get vaguely back to normal an amazing amount of steak. She then pointed out that I have layed artifical grass. My idea was stupid but is only second to your on this thread.

It could also lick your arse clean, so a saving there, too.

Or they can just open supermarkets but ration items...

[Wacky Racer]

No thanks.

It's a really good idea, but I just don't think it'd work, people are too selfish to let it work, there would be civil unrest as somebody else said

I saw a video of a man having a tantrum in Tesco because the wouldn't let him buy the entire shelf of hand sanitizer.
A friend of mine overheard a lady screaming at a member of staff in Tesco because they'd run out of hand sanitizer and she was more important than anybody else.
My local Tesco (a small town) has now got signs up saying violent behaviour will not be tolerated, a sad state of affairs if people are being violent towards shop assistants. I saw a story of somebody being mugged for toilet paper.

These people will just break into stores or people's houses to get loo roll or hand sanitizer, I'm saying to myself as I type "that wouldn't really happen" but I think it would.

They should be rationing things more, the lady working in our Tesco said they get a delivery and the shelves are empty within half an hour, again this is a small town, the cities must be even worse. But you can't win because it'd just end in more abuse to people who are just doing their job.

I don't know what the answer is, I don't think there is one, supermarkets are trying I think but people are just too damn selfish.

So you want one person to go around door to door potentially meeting people who are self isolating or infected then you want them to go around to everybody else’s house day until day out.

Great plan.

[Agammemnon]

When all the panic-buyers have full/overflowing cupboards things will return to normal.

This.

You can only squeeze so many toilet rolls into a house.

Might as well go the full way and introduce rationing. That would really go down well.

People have seen what's happened in Italy. Free pornhub premium,no wonder there is a rush on loo roll.

I think they should.

They want us to shop for elderly relatives and neighbours, but the supermarkets have had to limit people to 4 of an item because of the fkwits.

If you could go in with a ration card you could then buy for others.

The issue is, the virus is carried on things, for up to 48 hours.

[anonymous-user]

HTF would supermarkets conjure from thin air the fleet of vehicles - a good number of which would have to be refrigerated - and delivery drivers required to do this?

Crazy idea.

Also at odds with the Govt’s strategy of a slow controlled infection to produce herd immunity, and not isolation to snuff the virus out.
