I'm sure it's not y'all doing this... but stopped at Tom Thumb today... No bread, no milk, no TP, no eggs.
Canned goods very limited. Frozen foods and veggies, almost bill.
I think we all know what this is going to look like and it does not include a lack the food are basic supplies in the grocery stores; unless people are buying way more than they need.
I saw a comment from someone on here the other day who claimed not to engage in hoarding. However went on to say if they see item X, they will buy it. Even though they have plenty. "Just in case".
That is hoarding.
Namaste.

I had several rolls of tp in my truck and a cop arrested me for possession of crack paraphernalia.

People's fridges and pantries can only hold so much then they'll stop buying.
What a maroon!

We stopped by Tom Thumb yesterday to get some salad vegetables and was shocked to see some hamburger meat, some chicken and cases of water. We had tried several times to find those items on Sunday and nada. We just bought 1 each of the items we needed. Plus, they had signs that said Limit 1 per customer. We didn't play the game of my wife buying 1, me buying 1, etc. We left some for the next shoppers.

I want to see people start hoarding new vehicles or something like that. Things would be more interesting.

Milk, chicken, eggs, pasta, TP and paper towels all gone where ever you go. It's funny the things people think to hoard. Cereal? You can't find any freaking milk to eat your cereal with!

If the auto makers suddenly announced they were going to suspend all manufacture of vehicles for the 2021 year and produce medical equipment and supplies, the hoarders would buy up all the vehicles in the lot if they could afford them or not!
Just one more cast!

rent will be due in a few days, that should help... My thought as well. As everyone begins losing jobs, spending will fall in line. Amazes me what everybody is rushing to buy. I think we have seen the future. It does not involve shortages of TP, milk etc. Or ammo!! Let's all settle down.

If they get the $1200 from the government they'll be standing in line ready to buy more TP.

They're being really strict about limits in Wise County so it's getting better. Yesterday I found tp and all other essentials. You have to go to a few different stores but it's way better than it was even three days ago.

When they wrote the school books that included WW2 they should've detailed the sacrifices made at home as well. Some of the whiners might see things differently. Probably not.

If there is something in the store that you already have enough of just hold it up proudly, take a quick pic and release back to shelf (be sure and scramble the background of your pic)
