Been in one twice since this started happening. Does creep me out a bit--I find myself looking over my shoulder even though we are a couple states away. I have to say last time I was in was 2 days ago and the local store to me is a small, dismal, old Michaels(not like the bright and big ones they build now) and this store was unusually PACKED! Lot of business coming through that day. Home Depot had a healthy parking lot full of cars too. Like I said I'm two states off in the midwest though so perhaps people are more disaffected. I admit if it was in my area all NON necessity shopping trips would be over and I would probably have hubby deliver me to the door of the supermarket and pick me up there when I finished. No parking and walking to the door. I guess you take your chances with gas, what can you do if the tank needs filling?

I saw footage on Fox today of a station in Fairfax County where they've placed opaque blue tarps between the pumps and the street. Things have gone to hell in a handbasket when you can't even buy gas. The only thing I've ever worried about at a gas station is an idiot with a cigarette.
