According to all current information, there are currently no signs that there are people in the Fürstenfeldbruck district who have contracted the coronavirus. Nevertheless, the fear of the epidemic drives citizens. Among other things, this affects shopping behavior.
Fürstenfeldbruck - Since Friday evening, information on hamster purchases of food has been condensed on social media. Even those who did not want to believe this at first were able to see for themselves the correctness of this message in the supermarkets on Saturday. Some shelves in supermarkets and discounters are almost empty.
Hamster shoppers empty noodle shelves
Some foods appear to be particularly desirable to hamster buyers. Noodle shelves are looted over a large area. There are also yawning emptiness in the compartments for the accompanying tomato sauce.
Noodles are very popular with hamster buyers - and particularly popular varieties are out of stock.

Flour and canned food are in demand
The same picture where flour, canned goods and long-life baked goods normally pile up. The towers made of mineral water bottles are partly worn down almost to the foundations. Gaps are also yawning in departments for confectionery and snack foods.
Most customers remain calm
While the hamster buyers stock up, other customers are stunned by the empty compartments. You can hardly believe what is happening there. “This is probably the most photographed shelf at the moment,” says a young woman with a wink in the aisle of the Germeringer AEZ, where the pasta packs are usually stacked close together. She only has a discreet shopping basket with her - and does not pick up one of the bags of pasta that are still in stock. Like most customers, she does her shopping very relaxed. The fear of hamster buyers that food supply in the region could collapse is apparently less contagious than the feared virus. (Sk)
