Despite various forces trying to keep us panicked and alarmed, and thus needing rescue.
The grocery store has many things in stock it lacked just two days ago.
I was able to get hamburger, for example.
The stores were putting limits on some high demand items, like flats of bottled water and paper goods.
The store manager indicated that those limits would be imposed from now until this lifts to prevent the panic clean-outs from becoming cyclical. She also said that there was no returns allowed on those same items.

Publix had rice RICE! RIIIIIICEEEE! Muhahahahaha. Which was good, because I was set to replenish my rice right as the panic started.
ReplyDeleteWeirdly, Sams had some, in a 50lb bag, for $33.99 on Monday. I waivered, but did not buy.
So, today, in Publix, a 20lb bag was $10.99. Hmmm... Math's hard, but that would be 60lbs for $32.97. See, kids, sometimes warehouse stores are a swindle.
And Publix was monitoring numbers in and out, had 'X' marks every 6 feet going in, at the pharmacy and at the cash registers to tell people where to stand. As to the aisle yackers, like one of my sister-in-laws (you know, the ones that block an aisle and talk with their friends for hours,) nice Publix people politely provided suggestions as to maintaining social distance.
Ahhhh... Return of a weird normality. It is a good thing.
