Organising a shopping buddy to stock up on groceries proved unnecessary for a Johannesburg woman on Wednesday, as the anticipated payday queues failed to materialise at large centres.

At Rosebank Mall, Ellen Nyandoro, 45, was relieved to find she could get what she needed, without long queues.

At big supermarkets like Pick n Pay, Woolworths, Food Lovers Market and Game, the queues were normal. He said he was surprised that consumers were on their best behaviour, after the panic buying seen in previous days.“I thought it would be packed man. But it’s so calm, it’s really mature of South Africans. Or maybe it’s because the people who shop in these parts of town have stockpiled a week ago. Either way I’m happy things are running smoothly,” Jacobs said.Lillian Mokoena, who was strolling about the aisles, said she intended to stock up before the lockdown.
