With England heading back into lockdown later this week, shoppers have been warned not to recreate the ridiculous panic buying we saw earlier this year, but it looks as though one bloke in Lincoln didn't get the message.
Shocked Stuart Darben was shopping at Aldi with his partner on Monday when he spotted a man piling the conveyor belt with bags and bags of rice, pasta and crisps.
Speaking to Lincolnshire Live, Stuart said: "There was rice, pasta and Doritos.

"It was really busy in the shop. I was gobsmacked with what I saw, and the shopper in front of me was too.
"I could see another staff member looking at the till but I don't think he wanted to say anything.
"I turned to my partner and said, 'This shouldn't be happening, it's not right.'
"I even said to the check-out operator, 'Is it right he should be doing that?'"
Earlier this week, toilet paper manufacturer of Andrex reassured customers there would be no shortages during the second lockdown.

Parent company Kimberly-Clark said it was fully ready with 100 million rolls in UK warehouses, according to the BBC.
The company went on to explain that it is 'prepped for stockpiling,' adding: "Even back in March, when supermarket orders more than doubled overnight (from 60 to 132 orders per day), supplies of Andrex never ran out."
Speaking in September, Andrew Opie, Director of Food and Sustainability at the British Retail Consortium, told customers there was no need to panic buy and urged people to shop as normal in the case of future lockdowns.

He said: "Retailers have done an excellent job in ensuring customers have access to food and necessities throughout this pandemic.
"Since March, retail businesses have strengthened their supply chains as well as investing hundreds of millions to make stores safe and secure for customers; this includes perspex screens, social distancing measures and additional hygiene measures.
"As such, retail remains a safe space for consumers, even under future lockdowns.

"Supply chains are stronger than ever before and we do not anticipate any issues in the availability of food or other goods under any future lockdown.
"Nonetheless, we urge consumers to be considerate of others and shop as they normally would."
