sorted byI'd class this information as potentially life saving because it stops NHS members going into work tired, meaning that they're able to do their job at 100% as they have access to everything they need. (edited)
If it really bothers you, just let the admins know, and they'll decide what's appropriate for their site. And if you disagree with their decision, nobody is forcing you to be here, are they...?
Mate you sound like a jerk. If this helps spread the message to NHS people, that’s a good thing. I don’t think pedantry about stuff like this is what anyone needs right now - not even you.
Thank you 🇬🇧 (edited)
We also need to hear more experiences like this.
I went two days ago, found almost everything (didn't need toilet roll or pasta). People should stop forwarding stories of empty stores because while it may have been empty at the time the story was written, staff are trying their best to refill multiple times a day. It is the hoarders who need to be named & shamed publicly. (edited)
Imagining hoards outside moaning why they can’t go inside at 7am like before.
True, but most people won't work on at least one of those days, so, at least it gives them time on their day(s) off to stock up before people panic buy shops into oblivion... =l
So, it gives people a chance to go in there and buy a loaf of bread for sandwiches, sandwich filler etc... to make for their/their kids' lunch that day/week. (edited)
I fear in the weeks & months to come, we're going to have to MASSIVELY step-up support of our NHS staff. They're going to be working flat out with little chance to recover between shifts. Getting time to eat or even go to the toilet will be hard to come by.
What I fear most is when things get truly crazy (and they will) doctors are going to be forced to make minute by minute decisions on who lives & who dies because there's not enough staff or equipment to treat everyone.
Please, if you're a relative of someone that dies of CV, don't scream & shout at the staff! If you really must vent, then direct your ire at the people who have deliberately & willfully let our NHS wither on the vine for the last ten years.
Yeah. It's the PiersMorganisation of society where some people think it's okay to behave like a complete, bumhole in public.
Don't worry. These folks are very shortly going to get a profound lesson in reality & the need to be both respectful & grateful to people that might be all that's between you & Oblivion. (edited)
Still doesn't make it a deal this is an app for posting deals not news
Next time ask
Let's hope so as it's no point at the moment to go to big supermarkets as there are no stocks and lots of people. Prefer to go to local corner shops who at least have some of the items
I slightly agree but Still getting the information out there!! Although the Hotdeals team removed one of my posts because they said it wasn’t a deal? (Free free Fish & Chips for the homeless on Christmas Day) hmmmm sounds like a free deal to me?
May have been VERY specific, I’ve had deals like that happen to me.
Glad to see that Sainsburys is giving different priority access times to NHS and OAPs as previously the times were the same which was not a good mix.
Remember all, keep calm and shop normally! (edited)
They still need to try and fit it in with their usual store hours. Next time use your brain
Well this morning his big Tesco online shop arrived with far too many items marked 'not available' & missing. He's now having to go out to do a conventional shop which he doesn't want to do because working on the frontline, he considers himself a risk to others.
I advised him when he goes shopping to wear his NHS badge. If you see him (a) maybe keep your distance & (b) please let him have that last packet of bog-roll because he really does need it! (edited)
Sadly there are always the whole "me before you" kind of people out there until it comes to bite them...
Can say if I get a job soon (unlikely given social distancing coming into effect...) with the NHS as a Biomedical Scientist (lab worker, I'm basically the guy who looks at tissue samples and tells you what's wrong), I will GLADLY tell people to shove it if I get any of that. Can say I'll be looking at a WHOLE LOT more samples if I ever get this job... if...
Quit my job as a teacher back in December. (edited)
Just going to work in an hospital in any capacity is dangerous at the moment. I don't begrudge anybody working in an hospital getting shopping priority. They stand to lose their life Vs me losing a tin of beans.
Put it simply, bullies don't learn until they're shown that they're smaller than they think you are.
Tell them to eat it then because they’re obviously talking a load of crap and their mouth is doing their ass’ job.
This is the pathetic thing. It isn't being policed and people are arrogantly and unabashedly selfish just sorting themselves out when they shouldn't be in there in the first place :
Shameful

I think the shops need time to adjust to the recent shift in buying habits lately, I'm hoping people will stop but I think/hope shops will adjust their opening hours/shelving time according the demand.
Loads of other shops are doing that, if I recall, Sainsbury’s and Iceland? This is the first and currently only one offering an NHS hour.
No, other shops are doing that too.
For the elderly, Sainsburys is 8-9am on Mon, Wed and Fri. Waitrose (from my reading) is the first hour every day.
They then go home to their families and put them at risk
So glad this site highlights these arrangements and glad this happening.
Everything helps
Yes, similar story here in the East Midlands and my parents report the same in the South East. No pasta or toilet roll, but everything else is available somewhere - smaller shops, M&S and Waitrose all have decent stock. The local market yesterday had loads of fresh vegetables, and thousands of eggs too. There are clearly no actual shortages of food, although supply lines are messed up. I think the situation is changing, and people are in danger of prolonging the panics by fixating on last week's problems, and the small antisocial minority that actually did empty shelves into their trolleys.
Provide a photo and we’ll see what we can do. Or did you call him Joe90_guy Jr? (edited)
