Message: [QUOTE="kingdobbs, post: 3497379, member: 1655"] One of the bigger failures retail as a whole made in the ramp up to stricter social distancing and lockdown rules in many places, one which compounded with their "just on time" philosophy, was in not swiftly enacting and enforcing stricter "per person" item limits on certain goods. For instance, the Dollar Tree in Florida that sold the paper goods in [URL='https://www.theledger.com/news/20200323/coronavirus-florida-watch--dollar-tree-shopper-hoard-dozens-of-boxes-of-toilet-paper']this viral video[/URL] probably shouldn't have done that. Perhaps the extent to which panic buying occurred couldn't have been anticipated to the fullest but I imagine many retailers are looking at writing up "panic buy playbooks" for the next go around.
