Footage shows shoppers jostling to get near the shelves where discounted food products were on offer at the end of the day, just days ahead of the next national lockdown
Panic-buyers ignored social distancing rules to scramble for bargains in Tesco just days before the nation’s second lockdown.
It comes as huge queues have been spotted at a number of major supermarkets across the country, with a 1300ft queue outside a Costco in Essex.
Footage posted on social media shows the Tesco shoppers jostling to get near the shelves where discounted food products were on offer at the end of the day.
During the clip a man reaches out across the crowd of shoppers to grab a load of goodies off the top shelf while a number of other bargain hunters snatch handfuls of items from other shelves.
It is not known which branch they were filmed in, but social media users said they have witnessed similar scenes elsewhere.
