To The Man Who Took All The Baby Milk In Asda Today...

[Moodymagpie]

... When you saw me stood there waiting to get my 6 month old her formula and you took the last 4 packs...

Fuck you! Selfish pig!

No one is listening are they? Don't bloody panic buy! I've not once felt the need to grab more than my usual, in spite of the shit situation.

That rumour has been quashed, if you call the number provided on the back of the baby formula they will deliver milk, nope the company provided a statement saying its false theres so much shite flying about these days in social media !

I have been told that you can order formula milk for babies at a pharmacy.

I completely understand the reason for limiting what you can buy, but how does it work if you're shopping for someone else as well? Ocado have suggested sharing deliveries (before they took the website down) but you can still only have 2 long life milks for example and the same would be true in store. I need to sort out a delivery for my elderly uncle and I would piggy back my Ocado delivery (if I get it) but it wouldn't work as we want some of the same things.

Maybe he had quads! But supermarkets are limited to 3 only I believe. Soon ‘people’ will have stocked up and there will be supplies in stores.

Just wait, don’t panic x

Didn't some guy in America get charged for selling goods way above its retail price? I know it's illegal anyway to do that there, but if things don't calm down here anytime soon then perhaps something like that should be considered by the Government on a temporary basis.

Google formula hoax

theyve tried saying dont panic and it will be fine nooes lsitened so now with the limits and if it gets worse it will be down to one

Re-selling on ebay/amazon that is*

noone*

Cosco has loads of Aptimal tin milk and nappies or at least mine does.

So much virtue signalling bullshit on this thread as usual. If I had a formula fed baby and I was facing the thought of isolation or even worse, lock-down, and there were only 4 cans of milk left; damn right I’m bloody buying them. I’m not going to stand around twittering on about “being fair” while some other bugger swipes them out from under me. It’s not fucking selfish to put your own baby first, and anyone who says they wouldn’t is lying or neglectful.

It is selfish but at the end of the day you do look after your own children first??

I would have followed him to the checkout and removed one from the conveyor belt when he wasnt looking.Selfish twat.

Did you see him at the till?
At our store he would have had 2 taken off him at the till. If you had been there we would have passed them on to you.
Our tills arent programmed we have to tell the customers ourselves!

So very worrying for those with babies or dietary restrictions. We can adapt and eat things than may not be our preference but would give us the nutrition we need -I am dairy intolerant (hives, eczema) but it would be a matter of just not having my alternatives and having what I can eat in other foodstuffs for a while.

The follow on formula is fine for most babies to have. It is only invented to get around the marketing restrictions for infant formula.

Not ideal to have to switch but I saw plenty of stage 2 and 3 formula. This was a Booths - they had some "posh" looking brand in stage 1 but nothing else.

If it was the last one...That's different...Not four. If it were the LAST one yes. I'd take it regardless because my child needed it...I wouldn't take the LAST 4 packs.

But did you actually speak to him and ask him for one, or just stay quiet and complain here?

There are lots of people helping out their community. How do you know he wasn't getting one for him and the rest for desperate parents at the baby group/a desperate neighbour/work colleague?

This is what we're doing at work at the moment. If we know a colleague/friend/family member/neighbour is desperate for something, we'll pick it up for them if we see it in the shop.

It's the complete opposite of selfish.

my DF could only pick up two boxes of fornula for me as that is all the shop was allowed

Because he's going to be reading this.

OP this is my point. You have NO IDEA what his circumstances are. You didn’t ask so you don’t know. What if there had been two left and you needed them both, NEEDED them. Are you still leaving one?

We have a local milk shortage. I found some in a petrol station shop this evening and I did ask if it was ok for me to buy two. It was. However if it wasn't then I would have left one. There was plenty but I wouldn't have deprived someone else if there wasn't.

I work for Lidl, and the amount of people that have triplets and quads in my area is stupid. One lady trying to buy 5 packets of nappies in the same size, says she has 5 babies. So I say WOW you have Quintuplets? She sed NO they are 2 3 4 and 5, so I asked her how they all wear the same size nappy????

Swťo worried about this. I don't drive and have an 8 week old chub who goes through the best part of 2 tubs of formula a week, so limit to 1 per customer would be difficult
