We just got back. Danged nightmare. Nothing on the shelves. People buying like it was their absolute last chance to ever buy something again. One lady in one of those handicap carts, riding along, had the entire cart full of cokes, pepsi, etc, with them hanging on the side of the cart, stacked to the hilt. Nothing on the cleaning shelves. I got the LAST box of garbage bags!!!! How in the he-LL can people be buying so many danged garbage bags for goodness sakes!!! They are allowing so many people per size of the store, then you get to the grocery aisles and they are packed with 10 or more carts!!! What good did it do to have these rules. They have employees around the aisles directing traffic like cops. The governments are causing a lot of this hysteria. They keep telling us the sky is falling and people are responding like it. People are going freaking crazy. One other grocery store in town had a COP at their door. Only one family member per family allowed in the store. Did not open when the sign said they would open, over an hour late. Small stores are sold out as soon as they put stuff on the shelves. The meat market guy in a small mom and pop store near us told me this morning that meat prices are going to take a BIG jump. His costs are nearly doubling. So, the hysteria, buy before you cannot ever buy again. Places and people going freaking stupid crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!
The masks should help you navigate a non-police-state Wal-Mart set-up, for Heaven’s sake. But the whole company went Police State. Why don’t they offer masks at the entryway instead?
Do you live in my small city? It’s been that way here for weeks now. I went to the small local store I shop at most Tuesday and they are finally starting to get some hard goods on the shelves. It’s spotty though. I haven’t seen a paper product anywhere in about a month now.
Well there’s the hoarders doing their thing, and they will always do so if possible. They are a breed of their own and a far cry from preppers.
I saw a woman panicked, grocery cart full to overflowing. She was clearly frantic. For all we know someone in her family could have been just quarantined and she had not prepared for such.
I can understand people buying garbage bags.....or anything else to secure their homefront as every week the situation takes on further need to prepare. And if they can’t get it in their community they will be going out of town to yours to obtain what they want.
Where I sit currently I could manage two months without going out for groceries, three in a pinch.
Are they allowing people into the craft section?
I called my store and no sections are blocked off.
Crafts is accessible.
This morning I gave my 84 year old mom the only box of surgical masks I had but I now can still get some fabric to try and sew up something that I can use instead while I’m out doing her shopping for her.
Hopefully others can still access their Walmart craft section for materials as well since Hobby Lobby an JoAnn fabric are all shut down
