CHAOS

You would think they were calling for 6 feet of snow!  Or the end of the world!  What else could drive people so crazy???  Although it was just full moon too (I think).  


I work in a grocery store. We just had a week of big time ad items to drive em in for our 50th Anniversary and had a great week in sales.   Little did I know that all hell would break loose again today.  We got extremely busy.  Turns out that Walmart was hit and they had NO toilet paper or sanitizer left.  So their regulars came over to us and did do more shopping.  I have to say I do love when they don't know how to order (or they get wiped out)-- sends em all our way. lol


I was told we have to use packs of wipes at the entrance (since people stole the canisters that you pull them from in the holders out front.  Also when we do the floor walk every hour and a half we do check to see if the restrooms need toilet paper . There are shelves up above where we always left another roll or two for when the holders ran out. Now we are no longer allowed to do that because they are stealing every last roll we put up top. (We would keep a 6 pk up in each bathroom -- but they take every last one.)  Someone said you cannot buy aloe gel because they are using that and alcohol to make homemade sanitizer. 


There are cases of the virus in PA now in a few counties, but ours is not one of them.  (yet )  May you all stay safe and far away from this damn thing.

the musicians are now out of work too....because our city declared no gatherings over 1000 people in city and in county over 200people.....so that closed all concerts in our area entirely.....rock stars can afford to take a few months off but the average guy who plays in bars around town is screwed....as all the people who worked concessions at the football or baseball or hockey or soccer or basketball games....they are all laid off indefinately....

I was at Kroger this morning at 6:00 am when they opened. Pretty well stocked. Some bare areas in the produce section, but they were working on it. Got everything on my list and then some. It definitely was busier than normal though for that time in the am.

Kim I hope it’s not too busy this weekend for you.
