Covid-19 projects looking for volunteers

Buying recently for 3 groups. My cart is always full and that causes extreme anger of other shoppers. And supermarket personnel complains about my volumes. Getting tired of explaining why I am buying this way. I am afraid, that grocery shopping will be limited anyway soon.

Edit: printing missing equipment parts with 3D printer would be easier for me.

Print out a sign and stick it on your cart.

Sadly, as soon as this becomes common, the hoarders will do the same to avoid the shame/consequences. Fear makes people very very irrational. :(

One up them and include pictures on your sign of the people you are shopping for!

(Yeah, it's a cat / mouse game...)

Well it is a temporary solution at least.

I agree with this 100%. People in South Africa are panic buying. So these people think you are taking the groceries to your cave. Get a sign and people can read for themselves.

Double benefit in that it might encourage others to help too.
