Walmart Helping Out Our First Responders

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

All lip service. I'm hearing from friends in Vegas that Walmart has been the least stocked of any supermarket, but online ordering from Smiths has been much more successful.

I'm using online delivery from Ralphs here in Coronado, Ca. Next day. fantastic.

My brother and his fiance had no problem getting what they needed. They even picked up a couple of things for my household

One of the local grocery stores here is opening one hour early and letting the elderly shop before opening for the public.

This is my good news thread.
According to WorldOMeters, there were 1,000 LESS new cases of the virus reported today in the U.S.
Maybe all our suffering is worth it.
