ucking:
Saturday 7am -Chicago Area stores are packed , 1 hr to check out.no dairy, no meats, no produce, no tp, baby wipes, but had frozen pizzas. Saw some phillypinos going crazy for meijrs off brand napkins, hoarding it for I assume toilet paper, that’s gonna feel like sand paper bro I told him. Media talked about healthcare being overwhelmed, grocery staff checkers ,stockers ,managers not ready for this or care ,bad attitudes, underpaid. They shut down self checkout areas creating more chaos. I was prepared thanks to this thread.
As I have said it is the Bazaar of All Nations or many of the immigrants from third world countries are behind the buying frenzy. They think because that's the way things were in their country growing up it's the same in the United States. Once they started the run on the supermarkets there was no stopping it. Wait till they get they laid off from their jobs and realized they have spent all their money on groceries they don't need and now need money for other necessities. The food will last because most of it is non-perishables but they will be eating peas from a can they bought during the crisis three years from now.
Actually the smart ones always keep their homes stocked so when something happens they are not scrambling with the general public. Hurricanes, snow storms, now this. My house is always stocked. I was at Publix getting stuff for my Barbecue tonight and they were restocking everything. Sure beats Cuba, Venezuela and the third world.
What I bought pales in comparison to everyone else. I usually buy 3/28 bottled 16 ounce because that's how they sell them. You can't get discount unless you buy 3. So they sell 3/28 Poland Spring for $10. All I did was buy an additional 2/32 of another brand they sold separately. As far as toilet paper at Walmart you could only buy the jumbo multi-roll Charmin'. So I bought 2 instead of 1. Compare that to people who are buying skids of 600 bottles or buying over 100 rolls of toilet paper. I needed some paper towels. They only sold their brand and had may be 8 rolls left today. I bought 2. They were sold out of all laundry detergent. No sponges. Now they have shut down France and Spain. You think you saw crazy last week in the US. You ain't seen nothing yet!
