Europe overall is out of hand.
I live in Portugal and we saw the toilet paper madness.
However this grain/oil shortage is causing more harm than good. While the future is uncertain and we are all on the edge of our seats, supermarkets also have a big villain role.
Just the other day I went to pick some sugar and there was this advert saying that each buyer could only take 10 packs (of 1kg), however the brand right next to it had no limit whatsoever.
Just as I was leaving I saw this really old man carrying his cart full of sunflower oil, about 20 bottles.
Has that man even thought about his actual need? I don't think he'll consume it all, specially because it's harmful for cholesterol. And putting in perspective I don't remember the last time I purchased the one I have on my cabinet.
Not to talk about the 30% inflation we have been suffering.
As someone who worked on a supermarket, that is just vile and leads the population to irrational panic.
Hopefully things will get better
