I suspect that this weekend, ALL the grocery stores are going to look like that.
Today was tempered, I believe, by the fact that school is still in session in most places and so people are busy with jobs etc and weren’t out shopping.
Weekends are always bad anyways with people who do all their week;’s shopping then.
I think it’s going to be far worse this weekend based on what I saw today.
I doubt it. The panic people are hitting in now. Have been all week. But soon the panic stricken will have their stuff. Also keep in mind we’re ruled by just in time delivery. JIT has good and bad aspects. The bad in this case is that nobody has a lot of stock in the back room (or much of a backroom anymore). The good is that trucks come constantly. More stuff is on the way. It’ll be arriving tonight, and the next and the next on going. Now it’s probably not enough for a full restock (bad side of JIT again, the pipeline is for normal demand) but eventually partial nightly restock will fully restock and things will be normal.
