I wasn’t shocked but I was amused by the signs I saw displayed prominently in Costco yesterday listing the products they were putting on allocation (limiting shoppers’ purchases). They included:
Rice
Sugar
Water
Sanitary wipes
Lysol
I can understand the sanitary wipes and Lysol and maybe even rice but sugar and water? That sounds more like they’re shopping for the zombie apocalypse than for a two week quarantine.
There was lots of toilet paper and it wasn’t on allocation BTW.
I turned on CNN. I thought this was the zombie apocalypse…………….and all Trumps fault.
Locally, noticed name brand bleach is going fast while store brand stuff sits there, detergent, canned soups and stew are getting short.
At the liquor store, clear corn whiskey is moving since every knows rock candy dissolved in white whiskey cures all.
Things could get interesing at the auto plant where everyone has a chronic sinus stuffiness/complaint.
I was going to be my usual smart ass and ask about condom sales, but these guys basically did it for me.
