Working as I do for a big retailer I can tell you there isn’t an ounce of truth in what you say. You really do talk some absolute claptrap at times, frankly it’s embarrassing and insulting.
I’ve been working 14 hours a day or two weeks to ensure the supply chain stays in tact. Are you so daft that you don’t think that the upsurge in consumer demand doesn’t come at a cost! Do you think that suppliers get their employees to work extra hours for free or that other cost such as fuel don’t have a knock on effect on costs.
Costs that ultimately must be carried at leat in part by the end user. If any BIG retailer is making money out of Coronavirus then we’d love to know how.
Finally even to one as deluded as you do you honestly think that any BIG retailer wants to be known as a profiteering company once this is over, seriously do you!
I don’t know why we bother at times with blowhards like you undermining the effort of those who are actually doing something. Instead of moaning about the poor lad at Iceland whose been getting breathed on for weeks by potential carriers why don’t you give him a break and thank him for risking his life or are you too important for that. Just because you are in your seventies doesn’t give you the right to such an over entitled attitude, Coronavirus is not just about you!
Yes, I’m annoyed.

I didn't know God had another son, fisherman, and you still insist on leaving the second "r" out of your name.
If what you are saying is totally true why am I seeing items in shops and stores costing considerably more than they were a
couple of weeks ago.
Firstly I would cut the insults that you seem to use so freely at times.
Nowhere have I criticised or undermined effort by anybody who are part of the supply chain neither would I do so. Therefore you are wrong on that one'
Secondly. I'm not daft. the reference to the assistant at Iceland was correct He could have told all those who had waited a considerable length of time that there had been no delivery therefore allowing them to try elsewhere in that valuable period.
You're gonna hurt yourself one day fc if you happen to fall off that high horse you seem to be permanently perched on. you are quite embarrassing at times
Without any malice or sarcasm I value the work and extra effort that you and your ilk are doing on behalf of all of us
