We Changed Our Minds… (Juicy Q&A Part 2)

[@racheldodge6560]

The law on paracetamol and ibuprofen has been around since 1998.. it's to reduce suicides.. of course this didn't stop people going to diff shops to get more but the amount needed would take a few shops. So that's why they called the manager as it was one household buying the limit they are allowed to sell.

[@sallyrycroft4874]

As if you really wanted to commit suicide shopping at several shops would put you off

[@Loooooux]

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought Paracetmol wasn’t enough to do that? I know it would do some damage to your organs though!

[@racheldodge6560]

@@sallyrycroft4874 i've always thought that too

[@PoppyAndJay1]

Yeah I totally hear you and appreciate the rule however the rule was not enforced in my area pre COVID because there was no limit on what you could buy, literally never had a problem pre pandemic it was not until people started bulk buying that i noticed the rule.

[@racheldodge6560]

​@PoppyAndJay1 how naughty of them then. Lol

[@Hollycostello1]

If you were a mystery shopper from head office the person who approved your sale would have lost their job as it’s against the law. Companies have mystery shoppers very regularly and they act as regular people to test protocol x

[@littleredhead1999]

i work in retail and we have test shoppers who will try and buy more than 2 lots of tablets to trip us up and get us in trouble to make sure we’re sticking to the rules we have to refuse calpol without ID meaning young parents can’t buy their children calpol, there are so many rules in retail and if you’re to break them just once, i know people who have and lost their job and can’t work in retail because they broke the law so so frustrating for both you guys and us, we don’t want to refuse you but we just can’t risk our jobs over a pack of paracetamol. love you guys ❤

[@jessicahoward664]

It’s been law since long before Covid. Regardless the fact they were children’s meds and adult meds, the laws are in place to stop people abusing it. People will still abuse children’s medication given the chance. Even though you were doing a separate transaction, the shop are actually following the law by refusing the sale knowing you’re together. It is annoying, but at the end of the day it’s not worth the risk to the cashier. Fines, a criminal record, shop loosing a license ect and even prison time are at risk. You’ve also got to remember they don’t know you from Adam, you may be mystery shopper sent in to test things like this.

[@elliesouthern]

100% i work in retail and there’s nothing worse then when costumers get annoyed with us about this, it’s not us it’s the law.

[@PoppyAndJay1]

@@elliesouthern correct me if I’m wrong however to my knowledge (from studying law) there is no age restriction on the purchase of paracetamol/ ibuprofen, it is a policy/rule made up by supermarkets and this policy/rule is not enforced by law or statute unlike the selling of Tobacco and alcohol?

[@elliesouthern]

@@PoppyAndJay1 face to face tills do not let us physically put through more than two packets of either ibuprofen or paracetamol, it’s a law in the companies i think. however in the shop i work in, if a costumer is with another person we can put through another transaction separately aslong as its on different cards. if it’s one person on the other hand we physically can’t put more than the budget through

[@elliesouthern]

@@PoppyAndJay1 it’s a company law i suppose. same thing goes for things like laxatives, that’s only one packet max. the shop gets into trouble otgerwise, face to face tils physically don’t let us put more than 2 packets of ibuprofen or paracetamol, it stops us scanning more than that, however we don’t have self checkout tills so i wouldn’t know how those work in regards to the maximum

[@bobbiblitz8447]

Love how real and open you guys are, poppy I’ve had therapy all my life due to my upbringing. I’m a shouty mom to and I hate myself for it . I can’t wait for your podcast ❤

[@MsStarface123]

Agree with poppy on the fear and shouting. Fear doesn’t = respect and will often just lead to resentment

[@CaitXx19]

He looks like a Tyler he’s so bloody cute congratulations to you all you’re a beautiful family and love how honest and open you both are

[@Nataliee376]

I think you need to be a little more understanding towards retail staff. The colleague wasn't being a jobs worth. She was doing her job, that she's paid to do. If she got pulled up on authorising a transaction with multiple packs of tablets, she'd basically lose her job.

[@JessVirgo13823]

Unfortunately it's been a law for a really long time, and unless you've worked in a shop/chemist you will never understand the frustration when customers get pi**y when they can't buy more than two, it's not worth your job at the end of the day so you just take the verbal abuse that comes with it 🙄

[@katrina4769]

2 pharmaceutical products wasnt a rule because of covid, it has been the law for many years from the 90s . Not recent at all i believe, even though it does sometimes feel silly to refuse sale of products like you guys had. It would of cost them there job or they would of been fined if they sold it you and someone found out. Retailers have secret shoppers all year round, to test these exact things I work in retail and secret shoppers come in all the time so its better to be careful with things like that. x

[@zarashah27]

Not really before Covid I would buy 10 packs to take on holidays 🫠🫠

[@katrina4769]

@zarashah27 I believe you can be prescribed a large amount but to buy you can't have more than 2 packs or atleast shouldn't be allowed to. Whoever sold you them probably shouldn't off 🤣

[@jadelovatt96]

It's a rule that you can't buy two medications from anywhere to reduce individuals wishing to commit suicide unfortunately :( its so silly though when they can see one is for kids and one is for adults. You should be able to get two of each. Childrens and adults. X

[@WotchaLookinAt1]

I work in retail with age restricted products if I push the button to ok a transaction and I've not followed the law it's me that is at risk of a fine, imprisonment and losing my job. The company just gets a fine. In retail you get mystery shoppers, police, trading standards doing test purchases to catch you out so we have to be over cautious. But I see the annoyance with it all.

[@cici5556]

Also, I agree with TikTok not allowing kids in swimwear online. Are you not scared of all the weirdos online viewing your kids and where those videos will end up? It’s mad. Be careful guys. TikTok are trying to protect your kids.

[@CarliesLifee]

agreed

[@courtneyshipley9837]

I work at Lidl, I am only allowed to sell two medicines containing paracetamol and two containing ibuprofen, the tills won’t let you scan anymore through as it’s the law and if sold in a separate transaction to the same customer you are breaking the law and I would lose my job. It is frustrating but it’s in place for a reason I guess! Hope you all feel better soon ❤❤

[@ljb9151]

The rule hasn’t been since covid. I worked in Tesco’s for a few years 2011 plus and that was always the rules then too xx

[@ellodiecollins5561]

Mystery shoppers come in to try and catch shop workers out on these rules and it can result in job loss 🙄 if they fail As much as it’s understandably incredibly annoying and inconvenient for you, it’s not worth them losing their job over it The rule was around long before covid as well, I don’t think it was for bulk buying x

[@12missmolly]

‘I get why the rule came into place’ 😂!!! Do you???) as it was never put in over covid 🙄🤦‍♀️

[@PoppyAndJay1]

This rule was not enforced pre pandemic in my area because I could buy several products containing paracetamol and ibuprofen. It was not until covid and people bulk buying when I noticed the rule which is why I say it came into place during pandemic.

[@clareperks2396]

You couldn't of from one shop jay, it's been the law for years. My mom worked in a pharmacy and it was in place when I was 15, I'm now 35.

[@12missmolly]

@@PoppyAndJay1 i can assure you it was in place - it has been the law for many years ….

I have 4 sons ranging from 11-1 and they all still come and speak to me if I’m in the bath or walk in my bedroom to talk to me while I’m getting dressed/changed and they don’t bat an eyelid! I think it’s good for kids whether that’s boys or girls to normalise a body that’s not airbrushed etc. I wouldn’t go into their personal space naked but if they’re coming into mine and I’m naked (in the bath or my bedroom) that’s on them🤷🏻‍♀️😂. That’s my take on it! X

[@cherylparkinson6136]

Pop 🤣 What was he doing 😂 Checking your gusset out 😂😂😂

[@LadyFran91]

It is a pain with buying medication but it is to keep people safe as its used for you know what. Xx

[@ggsmith92]

100% agree with the medicine situation, it’s absolutely ridiculous esp when you as a family are poorly and you need medicine for all. It’s aggy but it just does mean people will go to diff shops and stock up- exactly what we do before going on holiday. Doesn’t stop anybody from doing it so what is the point!?

[@clareperks2396]

The tablet law has been in place for years even before covid. It's because of people overdosing that's why they stopped. But it's a silly rule cause there's nothing stopping you going in the day after and buying more or going somewhere else to buy more.

[@maeandeloise]

I am a naked mum 😂 my son is 6 and we are both comfortable naked around each other, i think it’s healthy to be comfortable with our bodies and open to all questions about bodies.

[@hopereay9259]

I’m totally with you on the paracetamol and ibuprofen! It’s so silly and she’s deffo a jobs worth! I went to asda and forgot my ID (I’m 25!) and she was like look I can’t put it through on your transaction but I’ll put it through and pay for it for you, so yes it’s the law however it is 100% down to how the staff member is feeling that day/time! It’s like some sort of power trip for them!

[@angelaking2799]

Love you guys you crack me up😂 I think michael is a great name! ❤xx

[@ellalogan1250]

as a shop worker we completely agree with you and understand the inconvenience however we can lose our jobs hense why she would’ve got a manager cos then it’s on there back as it’s their final decision technically we are legally not allowed to do that regardless if you where paying separately

[@cici5556]

I agree the woman made it difficult but I do think some people are genuinely scared of getting in trouble so wouldn’t bend the rules. But the 2 products containing paracetamol/ibuprofen has been around for ages and I don’t really see the point as if you wanted to harm yourself you could just go to multiple shops anyway. Interesting they don’t limit alcohol or cigarettes though isn’t it? 🤔

[@rebeccagarner2378]

Yea as much as we may understand as retail workers/pharmacy workers that you are purchasing the paracetamol for two different people/reasons, we legally can’t sell that much either in same transaction or knowingly, as it’s against the law so we would lose our jobs and face possible prison time just because you want more paracetamol, and it was put in place to prevent suicides as it’s meant to be “more effort” to travel to different places and give the person time to think about what they’re doing, so I also morally would not want that responsibility of someone’s life potentially on my head, as believe it or not it has actually happened in places I’ve worked in, so if it’s me taking someone being abit annoyed with me to prevent the loss of someone’s life I would put up with that, as well as not losing my job/gaining a criminal record because someone doesn’t want to just travel another so many yards for more if they need it that desperately xx healthcare rules are never in place just to annoy you, they are there because serious medical incidents have happened previously when they weren’t in place and are put in place to hopefully prevent those things from happening again, no hate tho just spreading awareness xx

[@lorrainerooney4026]

such a great vlog, so honest cannot wait for the new show, you must be used to eating your food cold lol

[@shannone8915]

I completely agree with you! I understand it’s to prevent overdosing but if they can see someone has kids and prams etc and they have calpol then it’s pretty obvious that you aren’t doing anything dodgy😂

[@YazmynJade95]

My partner literally just had this happen to him he wanted to get a bottle of calpol and two packs of adult paracetamol and they refused him to he put one pack down paid walked out walked back in and brought another two packs of paracetamol with no issues. I understand and appreciate the law but surely they can amend it to allow calpol and paracetamol to be purchased together

[@chloehodge-ko1nx]

he’s the cutest little baby and his hair i love it xx

[@isolabellamusic]

my mom and dad were super open with us growing up like you and jay were saying with the girls,,, but I think me and my sister were around 12/13 years old when it changed and there was more privacy when using the bathroom etc but its different for all families just depends on the dynamic and how comfortable everyone is I guess xxx

[@Loooooux]

I usually really like your content but you came across really arrogant/entitled in this video. Why should a law be broken for you? The law is in place so that people cannot buy enough medication in one store to take their own life. You said the person working there needed to use some common sense but I think it’s actually you two that should.

[@its_miss_mela1324]

Totally with you guys the rule in buying multiple medication should be stopped

[@MrsHulme]

I’m the same Poppy! My husband walks in and says where’s your phone? I’m going to chop it in half because you never answer it! 😂 regarding being naked I would say around 3/4ish being naked in front of your boy. Honestly Poppy, I went through so much trauma as a child and really struggled to regulate my emotions and would shout then ask myself why did you just shout and I’m 6 months into therapy and I’m already noticing the difference! Do it for yourself girl it’ll be the best thing you did I promise ❤

The rule about the meds is due to overdoes and suicide. Xxx

[@sianhayleigh6034]

Heyy I don’t know if it’s in Sainsbury’s but I work in M&S and we have the law because of health and safety… not because of covid. Because anyone can buy a lot of tablets to do the wrong thing with them.. so whoever said it was because of covid is generally lying or silly but maybe rules are different for different stores… love your videos by the way!🥰

So glad everyone else has mentioned it too but it was definitely not a covid thing & that's the problem so many r quick to say covid this and that rule. It's always been a law and for how many people do mis use drugs from the shops/pharmacy nowadays you'd be surprised, at least the lady at the shop did her job correctly.

That law has been around way longer than covid, to prevent suicides. Doesn't stop people going into multiple shops though.

[@elliemoore9190]

i get everyone talking about why the shop workers did what they did and i assume they know why , but it’s obviously still annoying for anyone including yourself to try and buy more then one or two of the sane products for yourself or kids and being denied. not like that don’t care but it’s just more of nuisance. which it is for anyone respectfully.

[@katlinmarie6665]

No, I'm sorry, but I agree completely. There is no need for the levels of unprofessionalism and unpolite behaviour that follows suit with it. Sorry your family had to endure that. They should make it so that if there's a family and there's then 1 medical items for each person, so that way everyone can be medically treated instead of having to travel to multiple places and have a inconvience. Let's not lie if people really wanted to commit suicide that badly they would find a way regardless of limitations on medications. Just my personal opinion on the matter✌️

[@pheebsphoebe15]

I have never commented on a KZbin video before but am quite upset with how you spoke about your Sainsbury's experience. It is the law and I myself am a retail worker and customers like you who try to blame us or the managers are really unfair, we didn't make the law or the policies, we just enforce them, we can go to prison if we don't follow them. If you have any issues with them, it should not be directed to the staff. I agree the rule is silly when it comes to children's and adult medication but it's been the rules for decades and we don't deserve the daily arguments over it when we are just doing our jobs. The manager who approved the second transaction broke the law (I myself am a manager), the law is per household. They most likely only did it to get you to go because they are fed up with dealing with the conversations or being shouted at day in and day out. We hate it more than you do.

That paracetamol situ is so stupid. It’s not to do with bulk buying tho I think it’s the dosage amount in 1 transaction.
