Britain seems to have been particularly affected by people “panic buying” or “stockpiling” for the Covid-19 outbreak, and has seen supermarkets, this week, imposing significant restrictions on the number of items customers are allowed to purchase in one visit.
Most supermarket delivery services are fully booked for more than two weeks in all regions of the UK, and Ocado has stopped delivering altogether. Collection slots, likewise, are difficult to come by.
There is no respite to be found by visiting stores, either, as most “staples” like nappies, toilet paper, and non-perishable foods, like tinned tomatoes and pasta are in very short supply on the shelves.
It remains to be seen how successful limitations will be at returning normality to British shopping.
