Interesting. I've witnessed that kind of office aggression over chairs before, mostly in jobs where hot desking was the norm.

BigWillyStyle, I'm curious as to whether the desks remain the property of the company or the employee gets to keep them? I'd expect for an employer to supply a computer and a phone, but not a desk and I guess that's based entirely on my own personal work experiences.

Coles has reintroduced purchase limits on chicken breast and thighs, mince, and sausages. It will probably take a day or two for extreme panic buying to set in so if you need to go shopping, do it now.

Last night at woolies our click and collect order was running two and a half hours behind schedule, when mr bee went to pick it up the store seemed to be in chaos with only one or two very young staff members trying to run the entire supermarket on their own :( Being in any kind of retail or service environment must be hell right now.

Now that I think about it the shelves at Dickson Woolies were much more empty than usual yesterday, particularly the meat and fresh food.

A lot of stores have a third to half of their staff isolating. Suppliers are also dealing with reduced workforces.

The requirement for truck drivers to have regular surveillance testing has been lifted in NSW, which will help with getting stock to the stores when it's available but the disruption to supply chains is happening at multiple points right now.

I have thankfully inherited my mother's penchant for keeping a well stocked pantry and freezer

I just don't get how panic buying is a thing anymore

Like it's been two years of this poo poo

my mum was telling me to stock the freezer with meat because abbottoir staff are getting covid left right and centre. My family are in Rockhampton and there are 2 abbottoirs there so it might be an issue that is more visible there.

I just moved house so my freezer was empty so I had to do that anyway because I usually keep a well stocked freezer and pantry with staples. Ivans in Chester Hill had all the meat I could want.

A few months ago, the largest Coles in Geelong had over 150 staff out, either sick or isolating, and had to close their doors for a while. They brought staff from Melbourne down to work because there was literally no one else.

Guess what. They got sick, too.

With the case numbers going through the roof, poo poo's going to get weird.

Passion Fingers. A few of our apprentices get called it on the regular. And one named Peter gets called Repete as we have to send someone to fix his fuckups on the daily. That one was known as our '7th year apprentice'

What's the butcher in Leura like (assuming you've ever been)? I keep not being bothered to go all the way there just to buy meat but I think I'm over eating the pet food grade poo poo they sell at Coles.

Last time when Coles and woolies were being overshopped, I walked into Harris Farm and found everything I needed, even a wall of pasta that neither of the other shops had.

Shop around and stop relying on the big shops, people are thick and will empty them constantly.
