Uk shops to hold back stock for the elderly and disabled
With UK shops being panic bought out of stock, it is leaving elderly and disabled people across the UK without essentials, this petition is to ask shops to hold back and/or limit the number of items able to be bought per customer. This is to ensure everyone gets what they need during this outbreak
Young, fit and healthy people are going to supermarkets, able to queue for a long amount of time to then rush in and buy out the shop of essentials before anybody else, these people can get to the items quicker than anybody else, leaving the vulnerable in society without items to cover basic life, this also stands for people panic buying nappies etc.
