Rejected petition Temporary legislation of distributing essential items in supermarkets

Operate a ticket system in supermarkets, similar to a meat counter, the customer takes a ticket and hands it to a member of staff, stating what they need (one per customer) from the essentials list, they can have as many essential items as they need but the maximum limit is 1 per customer

More details

This will allow everyone fair game in the supermarkets and will rid the problem of panic buying, it will give supermarket staff the powers to control rationing and lead to less violence, and more stress than is needed in time of this outbreak
