Has the world gone mad, Or is it just here in Australia.
Toilet paper, shelves are bare. If a shop gets a delivery in, within 5 minutes of onloading, it’s all gone.
Some stores are limiting the amount people can buy, if they are lucky enough to get any.
It’s just ridiculous.

Ocado are out of stock on so many dried/canned foods - so bloody annoying
I just did an Ocado shop to arrive on Tues next week, and dried/canned things I wanted were all in stock - does it depend where in the country you are for Ocado stock?

I did a Very Big Shop yesterday. No regrets! Empty shelves all around me. No pasta, rice, paracetamol, hand wash, toilet roll...

However I popped into Waitrose this morning before work and everything was calm and orderly and no bare shelves. The middle class aren't worried!

My local Tesco (Surrey) was much the same as usual yesterday except that there was no hand sanitiser and no liquid soap.

I was pleasantly surprised.
