Our grocery chain closed overnight to stock...

[EarthFirst]

Generally a 24 hour grocery store.

Over 100 people lined up overnight for the reopening at 6 a.m.

Everything’s gone already.

Insane.

1. Do you mind giving

Us an idea where you are? I am from Southwestern Ohio right on the I 70 line.

It was bad in the Groceries yesterday.

2. Western New York...

Rochester.

Wegmans is a stock & distribution champion.

They cannot keep up.

8. Thank you. We have Kroger, Meijer

Walmart. COSTCO is 25,30 miles away. With a few locals.

3. That was a wise decision by the store management

You can get a whole lot more done without customers (particularly scared customers) in the way.

[EarthFirst]

7. Absolutely.

Far easier.

...and allows for cleaning to be facilitated.

4. Hate to put it this way but

the Social Security checks will be gone about the 25th. And yesterday being a Friday was a payday for lots of people. After that shelves should be good.

The Kroger I go to in Northeast Indianapolis had rolled skids of toilet paper out about 10pm to start restocking their tp aisle which was empty. That store was also out of bread, rice, most beans, and 2% milk.

But it looked like they had plenty ready to roll out of the back. So I'm not sure why people are acting this way.

5. People are scared

That is why they are acting this way.

6. Trump's bungling has unnerved everyone

... From local shoppers to global markets.
What will it take for Republicans to demand his resignation?
Do they really have to start dying before they'll wake up?

10. The comparison with Biden

And his excellent speech was mind boggling.

Mike Pence and his useless praise of Trump makes him sickening. Evangelical, yuck!

[C_U_L8R]

11. It's pathetic when Pence starts drooling 'decisive action'

The groveling is plain for all to see. And only reinforces how incompetent and dumb Trump actual is. If he weren't so selfish, he'd resign today.

[True Blue American]

12. And that makes Pence

Worse than Trump to grovel that way.

[True Blue American]

9. I agree

Clerks were stocking as fast as they can at Kroger’s. Full produce. Only the TP aisle looked like a hazard zone.

I bought the things I needed, milk, etc. I keep the pantry well stocked from sales.

I noticed early in the week at Meijer it was mostly the elderly, but that was probably because of first of the month. No panic there.

13. Fox News viewers were woken up...

by the national emergency declaration.

MSM viewers stocked up a week or two ago.

15. Apparently two days after it was hoax Hoax HOAX it is "Democratics are doing nothing". . . . nt

[Vinca]

14. Every day is like a scavenger hunt.

16. Our local independent store bought radio air

yesterday to tell they were out of toilet paper but waiting on a shipment.
