Thread Name: BS: New rules for Grocery shopping
Subject: RE: BS: New rules for Grocery shopping
The Tesco Extra store near to me is operating a limit of three items per customer to stop people stockpiling. This is a sensible precaution on non-perishable items but it has been extended to all items in the store. The fruit and veg section has been well stocked throughout the crisis. I tried to buy a small punnet of raspberries, the same size of blueberries and one each of black and green grapes. I was told that I would have to put one back. The raspberries and blueberries went back with the many others with a best-before date of either that day or the following day. This blinkered approach is completely wasteful and serves no purpose other than pushing people to stockpile preerved and frozen goods.
