Rejected petition Prevent panic buyers from purchasing huge amounts of stock at supermarkets.

Enforce laws on Supermarkets to bring in new policies aimed at the general public which prevent customers buying huge amounts of the same items whilst also safeguarding those who are elderly and those who are vulnerable ensuring they are able to purchase basic essentials.

More details

Countless are being left without products they may need during the current Covid-19 crisis, the Elderly are left without basic essentials such as hand sanitizer, toilet paper or even dry goods such as pasta. I've seen shelves containing baby formula completely emptied by those without children who are stockpiling due to long expiration dates. I personally believe action needs to be taken.
