Hugo Chavez used to do the exact same thing in Venezuela.

I get 90oct ethanol-free gas at the new Royal Farms, just south of the York Galleria, or in a pinch, E10 at Weis Gas-N-Go in West York, where prices are considerably less than Rutters.

Yes, I’ll NEVER FORGET 9/11. EVER!

My friend, I work at Ace and you are wrong. Some things are higher priced, some things are lower priced. Kind of like every store in America.

Sadly Madison Hardware, no longer exists. It was THE most special place.

Chlorox , I am told by someone who works there, has back stock on hand to handle 30% over normal demand. Currently the demand is up to over 300%.

The Ace store where I work is sold out of cleaner with bleach, disinfectant spray, disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer, alcohol, and n95 masks. Not expecting any refills until April.

As I constantly remind my customers, there is a finite supply of these items in existence at any given time. Some folks just think hand sanitizer just bubbles up from the ground.

In other words, this store didn’t wet DiBlasio’s beak.

I happened to be in Walmart the other day. Huge, mountainous displays of the items you mentioned.

Of course, this is northern Vermont/New Hampshire, with small populations. Heh.
