Holy moley!
I have a bit of a cold or something. I am out of Kleenex for my constantly runny nose (yeah, I know *yech* TMI -- but it is important to the story).
I always get up early, so I ran to the nearby Ralphs which purpotes to be open 24 hrs. I encounter a hand-written sign "open from 8 AM to 8 PM."
Well, dangit!
OK, I go back at 8 AM. There is a HUGE LINE to get in!! There was a clerk at the door managing the line so she says I have to wait until the line finishes.
Fair enough. It took the line 10 minutes to finish. When I got to the paper goods, I literally got the last box of Kleenex and the second to the last 8 back of : paper towels. Toilet paper: gone. By the time I snagged the Kleenex and paper towels the shelf was empty!
I have to ask W T H??? Fortunately at home we have Costco levels of this stuff. You preppers can get rich reselling your supplies.
I am on the road in CA (I live in TX) so I can only do what I can do.
Concur. That’s the exact next phase of this thing.
Right now this is all novel and a lot of people are off work or at home, kind of interesting. Just wait a week or 10 days and I’ll bet my last roll of toilet paper that people are going to get real cranky real fast.
Long lines? Shortages? Can’t get basic stuff? That is going to get real old, real fast. Watch. And then people will start doing stupid crazy stuff.
A week or 10 days. You watch.
you don’t need gloves for daily activities....simply wash your hands.....
Snap a few pics and post if you can!
There were no carts left so my hands were full and I was unable to take any pics.
I’m a misanthrope myself...for the roughly 50% democrat half.
I was just at my local O’Reilly’s last night and they seem to be well stocked.
And Harbor Freight.
Cat litter. Who the hell stocks up on cat litter?
Viking Kitty Preppers
We live in a country of floods, hurricanes, tornados etc and you would think people would have toilet paper, water and a few canned goods on hand.
During the millennium panic I used to joke about TP becoming the new currency.
Worse comes to worst, just step in the shower, especially if you have a hose attachment for “undercarriage washes”. Maybe a little less convenient, but actually more sanitary.
Think if it this way. If your finger pokes through the TP when you wipe, do you just wipe it off, or do you wash your hands? There you go.
I can tell you that the line at the checkout stretched about halfway to Irvine. Took me over 20 minutes to get through and out to my car.
I was at Harbor Freight yesterday. They had nitrile gloves in stock, but a hand-written sign on the shelf said "limit 3 boxes per customer."
Is that a selfie?
How about a rag and soap and water? TMI?
ROFLMAO, Laz!
:: ass wipe ::
Plenty of those around here, FRiend.
Take a friend or go back the next day.
