If you run it and it’s not your day, do your children go hungry?

So the idea here is they break it up into 5 groups and set a limit of no more than 20% of weekly shoppers on any given day. They’re trying to even things out and avoid peak on weekends.

On paper.

The psychological effect this has is that people will now go every single time they’re ABLE to go, for fear that if they miss one day, then it will be 10 days between trips.

As a result, those who shop only once every 7 days will now go every 5 days. This is the opposite of the desired effect.

But the bureaucrats know best.

Not surprising about the car choices. First, the picture was from Texas, and secondly, “foreign” cars were not very popular in the 1970’s United States.

Yeah, though not many pickup trucks, not just one truck with a cap. Of course, not a lot of "Drew Cabs" in those days. I also always thought of Texas as "Ford country" along with the south. I think I see a little VW Karmann-Ghia peeking out the upper right, too.

I’ll bet grocery stores can borrow signs from the nearby gas station. They may have to rummage around in the attic a bit or look behind the piles of used tires.

I don’t think they’ll wait until they e rung up and bagged all your food to check your name. “Heh, heh...oops...would you mind putting all these things back on the shelves?”

Pretty much.
No one really likes going to the groceries, but if you put people in a situation where they are going to starve if they miss their designated day for any reason, then of course they are going to buy more than they need and hoard food.
Not to mention it won't work anyways. Does anyone care if the person they contracted coronavirus from has a name ending with a “Z” or an “A”?

We had a drive thru vet visit...

I'll bet your pet appreciated that more than the usual hands-on exam.

What’s the bonus if you’ve got TWO apostrophes and a hyphen? Free all-you-can-carry?

Nah, they will exempt the low IQ ones that don’t know how to produce an ID.

Yep, When Hurricane Sandy tore up Staten Island they enforced odd / even license plate gas days...But that was due to Gas shortages...Calvert County Md appears to be fairly upscale so they might get away with it..They wouldn’t fly everywhere ...people are getting fed up...

What days/times do illegals — who don’t have photo ID’s — get?

How will they prove that they are illegals? How will they prove they are at the right time and day — or does that matter since they are ‘undocumented’?

Every time a Lib comes up with an idea that looked good on paper, it creates a multitude of other problems.

This is not happening, but it is disturbing that they are talking about it. Calvert County is to the south of us.
