Implement spending limitations at supermarkets
Rejected

What the petition asks
Spending caps per transaction to a reasonable price, mimicking a ration scheme - possibly implementing restrictive purchasing of high demand/limited source products to one per transaction.
Delivery drivers are reporting delivering 1.2k+ worth of groceries to families that can afford private healthcare, who are wasting precious time and resources on creating comfort, as opposed to the many failing to access the bare minimum.
Paranoia induced entitlement removes this access of blue collar workers like myself, that are tackling sanitisation of public spaces. This is especially selfish removing access from vulnerable individuals whose lives rely on their accessibility.
