I went to my nearest grocery store last night because I wanted to grab some mayo. Pic related was the meat section. The remaining items there are mostly racks of ribs, "beyond meat" non-meat garbage, and expensive overpriced "organic" steaks (as opposed to those inorganic steaks everyone else is eating)
-Paper goods 100% stripped bare - that was to be expected. -All bananas and apples stripped bare, low on most veggies -No milk aside from lactaid and almond/onions milk -No eggs -All sliced bread gone, only a handful of buns/rolls/pitas on the bread aisle, though the fresh bread bakery had large sliced loaves of sourdough which would be perfect for a nice thick grilled cheese. -Frozen goods 100% untouched and pristine for some reason -Canned goods aisle ransacked, barely any tomato sauces left, no canned veggies, beans, very little canned fruit -Cheese plentiful and largely untouched -Deli meat about 50% hit -bottled water 100% gone
It's all so strange. When a hurricane or big snow storm comes and people buy certain things I feel like it makes sense - they buy things which will keep from going bad even when they lose power. In this case we're not at risk of losing power or losing running water for that matter (like boil water warnings with hurricanes or heavy rains).
Anyway, since I knew this shit would be bad at the end of January, I told my parents to order a shitload (two pallets) worth of freeze dried/preserved meals/MREs which are in a safe location. People who are panic prepping at the grocery store right now are the same retards who would have laughed at me in January and called me a schizo. They're like dumb animals I swear to god.
violence is the next thing on the menu. People are tired of no food and illegal immigrant trash eating.

Im waiting for the violence to unfold to know shit has finally really hit the fan

Too much bait in the same post. Just doesn't work. Sorry fren.

I'm heading to the market. SHould I wear a mask?
Joseph Green
There was some panic Thursday/ Friday, but they are almost back to normal now
Carter Rivera
Wear a full plague doctor outfit.
Gabriel Reyes
Yesterday: Some things were gone, but nothing alarming Today: Everything is restocked and back to normal.
Julian Gonzalez
This is the dumbest shit ever. I think it was the cancellation of all the sports that but people in a frenzy.
Cameron Hall
Total shutdown of the airlines, followed by nationwide quarantine. These might be the last few days to freely pick up some items from the stores. Next week might be a different story.
Carter Powell
The local news is showing huge lines

I don’t know I can’t fucking go outside.
Colton Barnes
It was the shutdowns of the schools on Friday that really drove the panic buying.
Jeremiah Campbell
I'm in Mississippi. My parents went to SAMs club this morning right at opening. No toilet paper (they've been sold out since at least Thursday of last week), no paper towels, no napkins. And of course no hand sanitizer. Alarmingly, many areas of the frozen food section were completely bare. My mom needed eggs, and all they had left were three packs of organic brown eggs. All other eggs were gone. In all my mother's years of living in the south and prepping for storms, she has never seen the stores emptied out like this before.
We should be good, though. Me and my family stay soft prepped year round because of hurricanes and the occasional wild tornado. My parents heeded my advice and over the past few weeks built their prep up. Still, though, this is all most unsettling.

So this weekend I went around to stores to get the supplies I could for my family. I stocked up on essentials. Now this is far from my first trip and I have a ton already but as I was leaving the 2nd to last store I was going to shop at a cop pulled me over. Someone at the store I had com from called the cops on me for "hoarding". So I told the officer I respected the stores limits, didnt go back to the same store to keep getting the max limit over and over. Well he said what I was doing was illegal, they took all my shit from the bed of my pickup while they had me cuffed. They gave it to the onlookers and once distributed they let me go and said it's a warning but next time I will go to jail. They said they will be coming by today to inspect my house with a warrant. What do I fucking do if they get one? It's clearly illegal but if they have a warrant?

The thing is hurricanes just cause action deep supply chain interruptions. There's no actual interruptions in the supply chain. People are just pulling shit off the shelves faster than stores can keep putting shit back on. And eventually once everyone has maxed out their credit cards, being panicky retards, the stores will be completely full again. And everyone with a functioning brain will laugh at them.
Easton Edwards
Big town supermarkets are being stormed and raided by huge crowds in the netherlands atm.
It doesn't matter. If you're in public you're gonna get it.
Might as well have some fun and remind normies of the black death.
Levi Ward
wow, how did I type that so shitty "hurricanes cause actual deep supply chain interrutions." I mean.
Jace Cook
I was calm and understanding for a few days, a week, but when I need something and go the store and see a fucking mexican touching something that belongs to me, well...it's on. I just paid thousands of dollars so your disgusting kids can have free lunch, i will follow you home.
Ethan Collins
I'm tempted to get a phantom of the opera mask to wear around in public. A cheeky little play on the whole 'half mask' thing.
Grayson Phillips
Do the normies panic buying meat and veggies know that they won't last for more than a week even in the fridge?
That's what I've observed. The stores in my area were fully stocked all last week, even when people were reporting toilet paper fights and crazy shit elsewhere. It wasn't until the schools here were shut down on Friday it seems that people started to panic.
I was fully expecting the frozen food section to be totally wiped out, but there it was - fully stocked. People were prepping like they do for snow storms up here.
Dylan Turner
Here they bought up most of the freezer bags. So I assume they plan to cut it up and freeze it.
Oliver Gonzalez
Ive not really noticed anything in the physical stores here.
But the online supermarket has set toilet paper to 'in store only'. But you can still buy kitchen paper online which is broadly the same thing in a different sized roll.
Jason Hill
If you have supplies at home move it to a friends house or something. Then sue their ass after they inspect your house illegally
Grayson Powell
I didn't take pictures but the grocery store and a walmart near me were stocked up as usual.
Grayson Jones
This was a medium sized local neighborhood store, but then again I live in a very populous area.

it would be a horrible tragedy if one of these markets were to get tarranted
just horrible n awful
Connor Fisher
Once people have full pantries the panic buying will stop and the shelves will be back to normal. Certain things like hand sanitizer will be hard to come by as long as people are sick.
Lucas Hernandez
Sue them and contact a lawyer this is clearly illigal.
Carson Sanders
Don't forget to get to the hardware store and pick up 2 way radios or handheld CBs for comms when the phones go down.
I'll be on Channel 4 on CB and GMRS/FRS.

Oy vey, sounds like it's literally anuddah shoah.

Logan Ortiz
Yes relocate to an address not associated with you. Be discrete. They’ll check your house and find nothing but get all their information and contact a lawyer. If they try to arrest you or attack you, kill them all. The chaos after your gunshots will cause a chain reaction of crime and murder. They’ll never catch you.
Benjamin Thompson
The economic illiteracy of the masses is the root problem here. If you don't have WWII style ration cards or some such, you need prices to serve as a natural rationing mechanism, but the media always whips up furor about price-gouging. All that happens is that the first people to stores get far more cheap goods than they need, and latecomers have to deal with nothing being available at any price.
Cameron Ross

Nolan Long
Went on Saturday, all meat, milk and orange juice were gone. Canned goods and rice were mostly gone, surprisingly pasta looked untouched. Signs everywhere saying you can’t buy more than 2 of anything.
Levi Kelly
At this point yes.
Connor Taylor
Did the cop cite a specific law? That seems very illegal. You'd probably be best off contacting a lawyer immediately.
Henry Brown
also hurricanes are like shopping for maybe a week or two max with a week of lead time. this is people shooting for up to 2 months in a few days with less awareness on the stores part this time of year.
Landon Myers
Good point.
Aaron Hill
Exactly the same as what's happening in the greater Toronto area and surrounding few hundred km, cheese is untouched, dairy is low, bread stripped clean, no flour or sugar, people are filling up Jerry cans at the gas stations
Jackson Torres
This is unbelievable Ribs would be the fucking first thing to go.
This morning I found 4 whole chickens. I haven't seen meet on the shelves for over a week. But I only took 1 chicken because I live in a small town and I don't want people gossiping that I'm prepping. I do all my heavy shopping out of town.
I don't know whee people are keeping all the fresh meat, most people only have small freezers but they're acting like meat is the cure for the virus. Also, hard to find dry cat food.
The panic hasn't really set in yet, just early preppers but it's going to get worse. TP still available.
The plebs have panicked here too. I live within walking distance from city center in Helsinki. I went to shop for groceries at a good-sized nearby S-Market around 2 p.m., and I had to laugh. ALL soap (!) gone. ALL toilet paper gone. 95% of all other paper tissues gone. ALL detergent gone. 80% of other cleaning liquids and powders gone. 95% of all frozen vegetables gone. 95% of all frozen pizzas gone (there are several large fridges). 90% of non-chocolate candy gone and they had two people stacking the candy shelves when I was there. A lot of shelves showing signs of a hoarder attack, but since they have workers stacking the shelves all the time they're not all empty at the same time.
Nathaniel Foster
We haven't seen any chimp-outs. Do niggers' jaws just drop when they don't see food, sorta like a brain wipe? Normally they'd be killing whitey for half a roll of TP. Where is my black entertainment?
