This panic buying is frustrating

[GrandizerII]

But what frustrates me more (at least here in Australia) the supermarket management responding so timidly to the situation. Is it because they care more about bottom line than people? How about instead of timid notices in small print asking people to kindly not hoard, put up big DO NOT signs near aisles where essentials are being hoarded, with words printed in bold red or something? And if people can't or won't read them, put pictures of staring eyes (if I remember from my majoring psychology long time ago, research has shown that this can have an impact on people by making them feel super conscious). Appeal to people's fears, not to their supposed kindness. I don't know, but imposing limits isn't doing the trick because I can easily imagine scenarios in which shelves will still be emptied in record time regardless (for example, the same person can always come back a later time during the day to grab more of the same stuff).

Just my two cents.
