At least for me, I think the question of whether I’m buying too much for myself in a situation of limited supplies was more important for the decision than the fear of being perceived as weird. This depends of course on how limited the supplies actually were at the time of buying but I think it is generally important to distinguish between the shame because one might profit at the expense of others, and the “pure” weirdness of the action.
Totally. I was not AFAICT worried at the time about limited supply buying, or not very worried; the Safeway we were getting things from did not seem out of much and I hadn’t heard people complain about shortages/buying yet as far as I can recall.
