Rejected petition ***READ*** STOP 'BULK BUYING' during coronavirus period!
You've seen it yourself, online or on the news, the recent floods of people raiding supermarkets shelves. People like myself are trying to feed our families! NHS staff facing empty shelves after a 14hr shift. Its absolutely vile watching people fight over a packet of wipes, chicken, toilet roll etc.
More details
Did you know an Aptamil baby milk sold on Ebay for £310 with 22 bids for one 800g tin. The retail price for one of these in say ASDA is £10.85 for the same product.
Im 26 with 3 kids all under 4, im struggling enough as it is to keep my family safe. For most of us, even those who don't have children are at breaking point now.
All these little 'bans' that supermarket retailers have, their own rules don't always apply and most people seem to bypass them.
We are one of the most luckiest countries out there for this industry and people are just taking advantage and leaving others with nothing!
