A thread about panic buying and stockpiling outrage. Availability (or lack thereof) of products in supermarkets is a complex and multi-layered issue.
Basically, it's not just people being cunts. 1/
SPACE ON SHELF. It sounds obvious, but some products take up more space on shelf. Compare a tin of soup with an 18 pack of toilet roll. 5/
RANGE. Using the same example, how many different brands and varieties of tinned soup are available in your average large supermarket? 6/
Again, a category like tinned soup can survive an uptick in purchase fairly easily, in a way that a category like large toilet rolls packs cannot. 7/
1. How many units the product sells in each store, per day, when it’s at full price. (called Rate Of Sale)
And 2. How many units a product sells when it’s on promotion (generally significantly more). 9/
These are decided weeks or months in advance. 10/

Good. Fuck Rush Limbaugh, and let the celebration about his death be a reminder to the rest of the racists and bigots that we\u2019ll happily dance on your graves too.
