How embarrassing

You know, if grocery stores weren't profiting heavily off of panic buying, they would limit the quantity of items someone could purchase at once. Instead, they are choosing to meet their yearly revenue goals in one quarter by inconveniencing all of their customers.

>>13827980
Especially since it means a drop in demand after all the shitheads stuffed half of their apartment full of tp so they don't need to buy it for years.

>>13827980
Many stores already have limits on "hot" items. It's better for them to have more inventory to satisfy multiple customers instead of the one hoarder that's not going to come back for several months.

>>13827980
My store has a limits

Just wait, rationing of goods will happen next Monday.

>>13827980

Most stores have already put limits on the most hoarded items at this point. Some of them make sense, like 2 loaves of bread, that's plenty but 2 cans of soup is also one I saw earlier and that's pretty strict.

>>13827980
grocery stores limited quantities after the first weekend of this pandemic
these are all old images people post for attention

This pic make me want to watch my hands

>>13828292
They're called fingers, but I've never seen them fing

>>13828052
what kind of goods do you mean and for what reason? just panic buying? because there's no shortage of anything but medical supplies and disinfecting products. we have a crazy surplus of food and can suspend exports to satisfy demands here if we absolutely need to in the future.

>>13827915
that's 5 years worth of toilet paper for my house.

>kimchi flavor still on shelf

No tastr

Anyone else find it strange that the media bemoans and mocks hoarders while also conatantly reporting it so normal people feel like they have to buy while they have the chance?

>>13829755
It's almost like the news isn't so much to inform the public but to sell products. Weird I would never have guessed!

>>13828380
them chineeese foods prolly got the corona

>no oats at stores for 2+ weeks
>before this it made up half of my diet
>get home today after another failed attempt to buy some
>chink landlord there, talked about how he stockpiled 20kg of oats
>wouldnt sell me one
fucking cunt
he also got 30kg of milk powder to mail to his family back home to sell

>>13827940
I never noticed how tiny that building is, where the fuck did comic book guy even come from, there can’t be a kitchen in there?

>>13829865
it's always the fucking chinks

>>13831115
I married one and the shit they do is retarded. Even after being here almost 10 years she still gets her fucking news from the state media back home...

>>13831126
I'm convinced there's some sort of gene involved that makes them like that. A female classmate I had from kindergarden to high school was chinese but was adopted as a baby and was raised by a pretty normall boring white couple so she didn't have any exposition to chinese culture yet she was constantly doing the same kind of shit.

doesn't sound Chinese to me.

>>13831221
Maybe not the right word, I meant they only ever though about themselves and disregarded other people. Like if someone got hurt in gym class she would just keep going instead of helping, not even asking if the other is ok, even if it was her fault.

>>13827915
Thought that guy on the left was wearing clown shoes from the thumbnail.

>>13828046
>a limits

>>13831258
so you meant she behaves like an american

>>13831267
r*tard

>>13829865
Chinese are now shoot-on-sight.

Why didn't you do your part?

>>13827980
How dare they sell items that are for sale

>>13831263
kek can't unsee

>>13829868
Why did you ruin that scene for me? Why?

>>13827980
>they would limit the quantity of items someone could purchase at once

They are dumbass. Leave your basement every once in a while.

>>13831326
Everything would be free and available if America didn't have a pandemic known as Capitalism.

>>13831271
I'm American and have always helped people in need. The fuck are you on about?

Commie fuck.

Sounds like every rich boomer I've ever met. I'm sure she got this attitude from her entitled parents.

>>13828314
Oh, wait, there they go.

>>13831401

>>13831498
No you're not. I live in America and we help all the fucking time. I've stopped on the side of the freeway if I have the time to help someone stuck on the road. This notion that Americans are all new yorkers is the most ignorant shit. You're supposedly smarter than us? Better universities and we don't constantly talk shit about you. Enjoy stewing in your hate faggot.

>>13831221
that's exactly what mainland nongs are like

>>13827980
If you went outside more you would know that they do. And you would also be dead.

>>13831609

>>13831599
No you're not. I live in China and we help all the fucking time. I've stopped on the side of the freeway if I have the time to help someone stuck on the road. This notion that Americans are all selfish as fuck is the most accurate fact. You're supposedly smarter than us? Better universities and we don't constantly talk shit about you. Enjoy stewing in your hate faggot.

>>13827915
I JUST NEED A FEW ROLLS OF TOILET PAPER AND A ROLL OR TWO OF PAPER TOWELS! WHY ARE PEOPLE SO SELFISH???? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>13831640
LMAO AHAHAHAHAHAH

>>13831645
>t.

>>13831645
You can't spare one square?!

>>13831676
LMAO AHAHAHAHAHAHAH

>>13831308
I bet your parents are proud.

>>13831715
Yes they are.

Stay mad, chang.

>>13831308
I stockpiled ammo for a reason, anon. Just point.

>>13827915
Went to a costco today and they had a ton of toilet paper but no paper towels. Thankfully most places have limits on that stuff now so when I went to Safeway they actually had everything in stock.

>>13831681
I didn't have a square to spare.

is this the pandemic general thread?

is there any point to adding water to a pot of boiling potatoes? (to be used for mashed potatos)

>>13832156
what are you on about?

>>13832156
You don't need to add a liquid to the potatoes to mash them after they're cooked, but you can if you want to. Obviously changes the texture.
My parents always used a little milk for a very smooth creamy mash.

>>13832197
butter for me

>>13831258
I think the word you’re looking for is “selfish,” anon.

>>13832213
Mash is always 30% butter or it's just plain crushed potato.

>>13832270
30% is high as fuck but ok.

>>13832293
its sometimes more than that
