QLD Police telling people to catch a grip now. Fist fights in Gladstone servo. Plans in place to ensure supply chains.

Idiots.

Was in Aldi earlier, and some ar$e wipe going through the other till had a trolly full of bread, I counted about 40 loaves!!

He then met his girlfriend outside the shop who had approx 20 loaves in her trolly.

My guess is they have a shop and will be selling for a big profit :thumbdown:

Managed to get two bottles of milk yday, which we've frozen and will ration out, today I got two loaves of bread, there were about 12 on the shelf, was quite shocked! Anyhoo, if any of you know anything about Toowoomba people then you'll not be surprised to hear the shelves of lettuces were left untouched, salad dodgers, oh and there was absolutely no poo paper!!! ARGHHHHHHH (Sam's Warehouse had some though, you can always rely on Sam eh! :wub:) lol

Mentioned this to the girlfriend when the drama first started, how embarrassing would it be if yours were the only product left on the shelves. Even in a disaster people won't eat your carp.

If the lettuces are anything like the ones in Woolies yesterday I'm not surprised they got left. They looked like they'd been in a swimming pool for a month :eek:

These ones didn't have any nice leaves, they were just horrible, from what First Born said, they put them out, not expecting anyone to buy them because they'd had so many complaints that there were no lettuces, so they put out the one's about to go in the bin. :lol:
