I got a report for you. On the way home stopped at the grocery store that wasn't Harris Teeter to pick up my drinks, dip, and cat food for the kitten. I thought' What the heck I'll get some chips as well'. About that time, an annoucement came over the loudspeakers about apparently the latest milk truck being there. I'm not lying when I say half the store of people rushed to the back of the store with the managers close behind which also had the effect of clearing out most of the lines making checkout quick and easy.

The cashier informed me that today they have had to have crowd control because there are people hording as much milk and bread to themselves as they can. They had thought about calling in the cops but apparently it is happening about everywhere on the Southeast side of Raleigh. Again I ask you, would this have happened in the Raleigh/Cary area 10-15 years ago

I guess the good news is that if all of the electricity goes out, the milk won't spoil. Unbelievable, yet funny.

My husband was going to stop and pick up some items for dinner -- lettuce, salad dressing, etc. Couldn't even get into the parking lot of the Supermarket in Monroe. Of course, several years ago when we had an ice storm, deliveries of food items were delayed to stores -- that was interesting. People who don't know how to put up stores of non-perishables would have a real problem with anything longer than about a week or so.
