Grocery stores seem free of hoarders now, I stopped to check one out and they were pretty well stocked with bread, meat, fresh produce, dairy. I didn’t even venture to the TP aisle But so far nobody is going to starve. When the crazy hoarders were running amok, I couldn’t even go inside a grocery store, I was more afraid of the crazies than the virus or gosh forbid running out of TP.
I went to a Raley's last night for kicks and there was nothing: no eggs, no dairy, no canned goods, no frozen foods, no breads, no condiments, no paper goods (towels, napkins, TP, etc.), no cleaning products, no baking staples like flour, not even jello. They did have plenty of fresh produce but not potatoes. No lines to check out so I bought ice cream, chips, and reeses. Bakery and deli counters had normal supply, but all self serve things were pulled with notices to ask (i.e. donuts). Bulk bins section was mostly untouched.
A store near me this morning was similar but the hoarders made the line wrap around the inside of the store so I walked out rather than wait forever to buy literally two items I can wait to get later (bread flour and powdered milk for my bread machine). A local butcher shop was cleaned out within 10 minutes of opening except for bacon. All the liquor aisles were fully stocked though.
The takeaway here is if you need bacon and hard liquor you're good to go. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
