Same here in MA, bluest of the blue. No bare shelves. I can understand Wal*Mart's anxiety about unattended shopping carts. They are in the cross hairs of the unions. Union goons could fill a shopping cart with perishable frozen goods and leave is sitting in the linen aisle, or place an infernal machine (a bomb) in a shopping cart and leave it in the toy aisle. Or other forms of mischief neither of us can yet imagine.
Where I live in Texas the shelves are stocked. At times, certain products seems to appear, disappear, and reappear for reasons I don’t understand. However, overall its’ still the cheapest place to shop, so we go there a lot.
