Bingo! I was just thinking this tonight. We popped into Winn Dixie on the way home this evening. We rarely shop there but it was on the way home from my niece's house. We just needed to pick up a few perishables like banannas and such. It was about 30 minutes before the store was closing and only a handful of folks were shopping. Other than the toilet paper isle being bare the rest of the store was pretty well stocked. Plenty of actual food available from produce to meat to canned goods to frozen and such. Even plenty of water and the stock guy was actually bringing a pallet full of bottled water from the back to restock.
I'm going to Costco tomorrow to fuel up and pick up a few things like a bag of cat food just to have on hand. Plan on going early so it will be interesting to see how many folks will be there. Last visit a few days ago had more pallets of water than I've ever seen and it was well stocked. Didn't check on TP though so it's probably bare though I'm sure they'll be doing their best to stock up. It will be interesting to see if it's a mad house or simply a normal weekend at Costco.
Getting a lot of emails from Costco to Aldi to various retailers detailing the steps they're taking at this point. Interesting to see that response.
But yeah, we have a legitimate pandemic (though blown out of proportion by the MSM) with cities and states and now nationally under a state of emergency. So it is a good test run to see how people respond, what they do, what they make runs on and how they handle the situation. I firmly believe the MSM is milking it for all it's worth which in turn is making it worse than it actually really is overall. But again it is a good test run.
