“When will the food rioting start?”
It has already started - when food arrives at a store, unruly lines are blocks long and inside customers grab what they can, even it’s something a shopper already has in her/his hands. Police have to try to keep order.
My grocery in the Hill Country is one missed delivery truck away from “customers grabbing what they can, even it’s something a shopper already has in her/his hands” due to poor management. You can’t go to the store without someone asking if you’d share x, y, z from your cart because the shelf is empty.
I still do unit pricing and ponder over each item but have been noticing that others have given up that practice. It is most noticeable in the meat section. The meat section is very small and they only have about 3 packages of each cut so it’s grab it or do without. I’ve told y’all about the hush, hush drug deal, uh, fish deal I had to make in the back and the cashier and bagger were shocked that fish came through their check out. Anyway, last shopping trip there wasn’t one cut of beef, besides ground, that was under $10/lb. Ridiculous! But they’re the only game in town. Sad, folks around here won’t have to change their shopping habits when Venezuela comes to the US.
