Empty Store Shelves

[whitehall]

Went to a Walmart super store today. They were low on bananas (what the hell does that mean?) but everything was stocked to the hilt.

Have not seen any shortages here.

We need to start another fake rumor about DHS. Except this time they have purchased 6 billion rolls of toilet paper.

In some urban areas, and areas around where the coronavirus has been detected, there are long lines and shortages.

Canadian Costco according to the Reuters story. I bet they were polite though.

Stopped by Walmart this morning after I voted to check it out. Although I normally don’t go to Walmart. Bought 2 boxes of Starbucks Keurig then walked around.
I didn’t see any panic buying . Water, egg and toilet papers are well stock.

MY shelves aren't empty. Don't live day to day like city dems

Store shelves are well stocked in Minnesota.

But a friend called me up from the seattle/olympia area...empty store shelves in seattle and major holes in the shelves in olympia.

I told him this is only the panic buying...we haven't even seen the breaks in the supply chain yet...that should show up in the next 2 weeks or less.

 

[Thunk]

Are we all stocked up and ready to ride out the storm in comfort?

Y2J all over again.

All of italy is now quarantined...I'll bet they wish they had stocked up.

A part of NY is quarantined (I thunk it is new rochelle)...bet they wish they had bought extra supplies.

Reports of fist fights over the last of the toilet paper in some areas.

It looks like they cancelled Bar-Mitsva celebrations in New Rochelle but Sams Club is well stocked. Is that a problem for the dooms-day lefties?

This is not good. People are fighting to get inline at Costco.

This is not good. People are fighting to get inline at Costco.

As I expected...it will get alot worse!

While they were fighting for food...I was getting my oil changed & a new air filter. Tomorrow it will be gas, ciggies, and 2 quarts of oil. I like to stay 2 steps ahead of the crowd.

The next thing at the grocery stores will be bread...so stock up on crackers if you haven't already...crackers (all kinds) make a good substitute for bread because they have a shelf life & bread does not.

 

[Thunk]

Reports all over the place of stores being wiped out...empty shelves.

Never doubt your friendly neighborhood Thunk!

 

[Thunk]

Now what's happening is they are limiting customers INSIDE the stores...but OUTSIDE is a line of people all scunched together passing the virus from person to person.

When will they ever learn?

 

[Thunk]

If I run out of toilet paper I will use printer paper, I got a whole box of that.

If I run out of food, I will eat my cats.

How's that printer paper working out for ya?

We had a few days of panic buying. I thought that would be done by April 1. Sure enough, shelves are full no shortages.
