Why not go back to something like they did with gas and go off license plates or first letter of last name...etc? But for the elderly only. Elderly hours should be first 2-3 hours so they have time and they should split them up into 7 different days and spread them out to avoid the lines.

Got to local walmart 6:30 for a 7 opening. Line stretched around the corner of the building. Finally got in and as I was going in, met some people coming back out who had TP. But none was there when I got there. Went to HEB and waited in line for 45 min when they came out and said they had a very limited supply of TP so I knew it would be gone by the time I got inside. Went to Sam's an hour before opening and short line. Ask an employee and was told they had no TP. Left for home. Haven't restocked anything since the beginning of this problem, so I guess I need to look at an alternative plan.

People in the long lines were very well behaved and respectful. I am 80 yo but ok and need no special consideration but I saw many elderly who were handicapped and the long line was a struggle. Wish they would find a better solution for them.

Around here the younger people are complaining about the older people having the first hour shopping.
