Rationing Makes a Comeback in 2020 Due to Panic Buying
As fears of a second wave of the coronavirus build up, so do fears of a tighter lockdown and of vital necessities being in short supply due to panic buying.
Last time this resulted in shortages of items like toilet paper, as panicked shoppers topped up on some basic products. To deal with the situation, all the major supermarkets brought in some rationing, and it appears likely that something similar is about to happen, possibly across the board.
Empty shelves were the order of the day back in March
Now, both Tesco and Morrisons have reintroduced rationing of some essential and basic items.
Over at Morrisons customers will be limited to three items only for products like toilet paper and disinfectants including bleach.

The new rule is something of a return to the situation during the March lockdown when UK grocers brought in temporary restrictions to try to prevent shelves from being stripped of essentials.

Tesco’s restrictions also apply to online sales, but there some other items have been added to the restricted list, including rice and tins of vegetables.

Other supermarkets may not be far behind.
