A usually reliable source informs me that the Walmarts in the area are doing land office business. Something like 50% more than normal, with one store having over double expected.
I don't know of any specific news that would drive this, perhaps the smelly Walmart shoppers are prepping for a long Dark Winter?
Just south of it in the ‘burbs.
Wasn’t it Peter Strozk?
Perhaps. I certainly hope so!
I usually buy Great Value salted stick butter (4 quarters). When I was there this past Tuesday, they had none. All they had was their unsalted product, so I ended up buying a different brand. I like Eggland white eggs. They had none. If I want to find the items I need, I have to go to either Top's or Price Chopper near me, or drive a half-hour to the other Walmart. The Walmart here is terrible, and has been terrible for at least the past three years. They can't blame it on the virus.
Went by a gun store today. Just packed like I’ve never seen. They have a range too.
Fears of a dark winter under Uncle Joe? /shiny side out
$600 stimulus spending.
I Forgot that load of steaming sh..
Yikes
I thought Coke was discontinuing Fresca?
A Leftist honey trap march planned for State Capitols and DC, and Wal-Mart sees an increase in business?
I’m shocked, SHOCKED, I tell ya!
PING!
That’s interesting, I run FROM Walmart !
LOL!
I am not familar with that book but I will check it out.
The two Wal Marts in our area have been sparse for over a week, at least on the food side. NO cat litter and that’s primarily what I buy there. With 32 cats, we save money where we can.
Other stores seem to be well-stocked so I figure there must be a problem with Wal Mart getting stock from their warehouses to their stores. The stores don’t seem to be any busier than usual.
MLK Ski Day?
Birthington’s Washday was cancelled a while back.
Martin Luther King’s birthday was Friday...
President Trump will invoke the Insurrection Act on Monday or Tuesday and declare martial law in some areas. He will be using the Emergency Broadcast Network to communicate to the American people.
Electrical power and phone communications may be shut down for a period of time as the bad guys are rounded up and arrested.
People need to stock up on food and essentials as there may be power cut offs, travel restrictions and curfews, especially in the larger cities.
Leftist rioters will be looting, burning and destroying parts of cities to protest that Biden won't be president and Trump will.
My educated guess as to why people are panic buying.
“Maybe in part to patriots dropping Amazon Prime?”
That would be my guess. People trying to avoid shopping at Amazon.
Oh my God, just stop! It was one of our “elite betters” that referred to Walmart shoppers as smelly, not the poster! Look it up and quit bashing that comment!

I think that was Tab.
