"If you have any concerns, let me know via PM. I'll do my best to assist you."
If people want to hoard, let them. It's a free country. If people.miss out, tough shit. You should've been more prepared. If stores want to restrict the purchase of items, they can. The only thing wrong in that video is the reaction to being told no.
People need to stop with the fake outrage. It isn't an issue. There will be more stock arriving. Just clam down.
hoarding like that IS immoral. price gauging and arbitration like that IS immoral. yes, they should be charged.
I haven't actualy seen people behaving badly personaly. but I saw the consequences of it when our supermarket had to place a limit of one cartoon of eggs per purchase. one. hubs and i between the two of us tend to go through just over 3 dozen eggs a week. we literally couldn't buy our normal weekly eggs, because people were stockpiling them of all things.
you can be prepared for some things, but if you like eating and cooking with fresh ingredients? you cannot (or at least shouldn't) buy more then you can eat in a period of time before they spoil. and yet... this is what people have been doing (not just with eggs, with most fresh produce) and it just makes my head hurt :/

I don't see anything wrong with hoarding and I also don't see anything wrong with putting limits on product purchases.
there are ahem *OTHER* reasons they DON'T need those cases of mountain dew. if you get my drift.

and then some elderly person or whatnot who actually NEEDS the product in question CAN'T GET IT because of 'people' like this. REALLY HELPFUL.

you do realize hoarding is also classified as a disorder? so no there is NOTHING healthy about it.
r.i.p. alleria. 1997-2017. blizzard ruined alleria forever. blizz assassinated alleria's character and appearance.
i will never forgive you for this blizzard.
Always gotta be these edgelords unable to see why decent people might be angered at the thought of selfish idiots hoarding for no reason at all and possibly causing issues to other individuals in the process.
I had to run to 3 different stores to get toilet paper for my 82-year old great Aunt, in Sweden... SWEDEN, with all that land covered in pine forest!
If she hadn't had me, SHE would've been forced to do that round. Due to selfish asshats.
I'm hopelessly addicted to Monster energy drinks for the same reason. I've had inattentive ADD since I was a kid. I could medicate with Adderal if I wanted but it's cheaper to just have a can of Monster in the morning on the way to work.
There's no need to horde that stuff when I can just get a monthly subscription from Amazon. Saves me money and I don't have to worry about not having it. Unless there's a shortage at some point due to the economy tanking, but I'll deal with that if it happens.
- Christopher HitchensPopulists (and "national socialists") look at the supposedly secret deals that run the world "behind the scenes". Child's play. Except that childishness is sinister in adults.
I'm all for it. I did my buying a month ago because I knew this is what would happen once the panic set in here.
Buying stuff because a pandemic is happening isn't the same as I've been collecting random crap my entire life and my house is filled to the ceiling with it.
I don't really give a fuck if people hoard nonessentials. It's the people buying out a lifetime supply of basic needs so they are depleted for regular folks who can't afford to stockpile that is really frustrating. No one needs that mountain dew, so while it is a jerk move to deny the people who enjoy mountain dew from getting a share, it's not the same level as the people who are buying out entire aisles of food and creating artificial shortages.
Aww they even dress the same. It's like a male and female snorlax
I'm really pissed off at the CVS I normally go to for my prescriptions. I normally get a 12 pack of double roll Charmin for me & my boyfriend every 3-4 weeks because that's how long it usually lasts us. I'm down to 4 rolls so I've started the search for toilet paper since its scarce everywhere because of the idiots. The CVS had ONE 4 pack when I got my meds a few days ago but they wanted freakin $8 for the 4 pack. I was like "um no because that's about double when you normally charge for it". if I didn't have to go to my doctors and get new prescriptions to take somewhere else I would switch pharmacies and do no business with them again. I just won't buy anything other than my meds from there from now on though.
People sure like to blame the people who hoard essentials to themselves during a crisis, but not a word to all of the stores that allow them to buy so much in the first place. I have to give my kudos to this one for putting their foot down.
But really, they must have been a pair of serious hardcore gamers if they were buying that much Dew. One can only imagine what their gaming chairs look like.
So screw those who are working day and night in hospitals pulling double shifts to save lives right, they should just stop their work early so they can go shopping.
Shelves aren't filled instantly, defending anti-social behaviour so i am guessing you are one of those numpties that is doing that also.
23? I only see 6 large packs. I've seen people buy more drinks during normal times, I also don't classify pißwasser as a neccessity so I don't personally think this is a particularily egregious example. The video of the other bint that was dragging out 10+ packs of toilet paper is worse imho.
You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.
I support anti-hoarding measures. The supermarket I go to already instituted purchase limits.
