Was in Barrington store this morning,buying new head phones, and looking for Turkish Delight.They were trading steadily.
Fresh Choice had a big stack of loo paper in one aisle.
Warehouse and Warehouse stationery at Eastgate were both bizze yesterday.
Mountains of Easter Eggs at both Eastgate and Barrington stores.
Must admit Warehouse store at Eastgate impresses me.Always well stocked and plenty of customers.Using the self service saves time.

ps.Surprised at Eastgate yesterday.Asked a staff member where the Turkish Delight was.Wait here I will go and check for you.None, so hence my trip to Barrington.Will try online.

Yep, can confirm Warehouse in Barrington at least twice as busy as normal today. They had pallets of stuff that looked like it might be useful, wipes and suchlike. Trade was certainly up on normal. This week will probably not be the time to buy though, but it is on the watchlist

Interesting. Yes, I noticed the pallets of water (10 litre containers of spring water); tissues; wipes; nappies; baby food and infant formula; and an assortment of other grocery items that people might need for long periods at home.

I saw people carting out 2x 10kg packets of washing powder - they were limited to two per person. That's probably three or four years of washing powder (at least for me).

Any chance the Warehouse can be on the essential list? They do sell some food and drug related stuff.

**Bobdn** · 23-03-2020, 02:09 PM

I wonder - they have an extensive line of grocery items. I see in Australia bottle stores are considered an essential service.

Just picked up 11ks worth at 1.56 would not have expected that, put the low ball bid in and had it matched. They normally do well in a recession and the govt will pay the wages for a month

Even after not getting your Turkish Delight?
