At 6.50a.m., I stood amongst 50 people outside the supermarket waiting for it to open its doors at 7.00am.

Doors open, and everyone rushes to the same aisle.

None on the shelves, "great!" I thought, then saw a woman with a roll in her hands... "Where did you get that?", I said.

"Oh, you have to go to the back door, they are being handed out one per customer by the security guards".

It's a crazy world at the moment.

At least you got some...At our local supermarket no rolls other than lunch ones.. Some crowd came in on Wednesday and bought the lot apparently and the next bulk order as of yesterday haven't arrived .
Got six left myself so probably 2-3 weeks worth...It might come to this ....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1slfANkyv4s....
