COVID-19. Super markets limit shopping to one basket per visit, no trolleys.
Rejected

What the petition asks
Impose shopping restrictions to make the food availability fairer to all, limiting shopping trips to one basket per visit to minimise panic buying. Prohibit the use of any trolleys except by the old and infirm.
The panic buying which some selfish people are presently doing is making a already challenging situation for all, very distressing and uncessesarily difficult for everyone else.
