Going Nuts

Many Intermarche stores have a promotion on Nutella, a chocolate spread beloved of children (and possibly adults too). The 950 gramme jar was marked down by 70% to 1.41 euros, an offer which provoked January sale like stampedes, even fights in the aisles.
Store managers were forced to intervene and ration sales to one jar per customer but were often thwarted by people just on a merry-go-round. Some customers prepared the night before by queuing and some hid jars elsewhere so only they would find them. One store in the north was obliged to call the gendarmes and when the promotion continues today any remaining stock will be overseen by a security guard.
