Nobody takes better care of you than those people, when you have treated them well. They are pure gold.
And they truly appreciate it. Always support local if you can, the alternative is to make the huge and indifferent more powerful. And we know which group has been supporting the Woke revolution. The clerks who work for them have no vote and you can still make them allies.
#7 McDonalds is having trouble getting hashbrowns.
I tried 3 stores yesterday and no patties found. Just the loose kind.
Well, that is usual when we get a snow storm. Bread was low too.
The other day, a young woman I’ve always given some money to in this way gave me her store discount. These people are working, and they are on duty when no one else is.
Good advice.
I worked similar jobs when young and never lose respect for those who do. Glad to know others share that sentiment and reward their effort.
Starting to see empty shelves in the grocery stores here in New Hampshire.
The other day I went to the bank and was surprised by a sign on the door saying the teller desk was closed due to a staffing shortage. Only the drive-thru was open.
Went food shopping yesterday in NH and there were a few gaps in shelves or else stocked with lots and lots of one item to make it look fully stocked. No doubt in my mind, “Something wicked this way comes.”
The garden will be rockin’ this year for sure. Potatoes for starters …
Pretty much all of the grocery stores in PA and NJ are stocked. The worst I can report is occasional spot shortages but for the most part everything is available.
CA grocery stores are all stocked to the max. Yesterday I bought the large 24 pack of TP…says equivalent to 96 rolls. $25,
At least the liquor stores and marijuana dispensaries are fully stocked!!!
Try to keep up.
Oh the horror.
I was at an HEB in Conroe yesterday. The frozen vegies section was 3/4 empty. But they had plenty of meat.
Stocked up.
Ironic, isn’t it? All those ships waiting to get into the CA ports, the shortage of trucks in CA…and there are no real problems here.
I like to tip in chocolate. I pick up one of the specialty candies buy it then give it to the clerk. It is out of the norm and they really seem to like it.
I do the same when at a hotel. You get really good service because they remember you. A couple dollars and a Godivai chocolate go a long way. One place I went every one called me the candy man. Got the best taxi that time from the doorman. Bigger taxi’s not the tiny cramped ones.
I went to three grocery stores this week. Two Walmarts and a Harps. All had plenty on their shelves. I did notice a few empty areas in the juice isle at Harps.
But the prices were up-UP-UP! at all stores.
The local Publix had so much cereal that it’s had a buy-one-get-one-free offer for the past two weeks. Ditto for nuts, spaghetti sauce and olive oil.
