Walmart - Niagara Falls, NY approx 11:30 am...
Had only a few things on the list since I decided on a whim to hit a local competitor (Tops) the morning After Trump’s oval office speech. Hit the store with daughter (age 25) who found shelves bear at another competitor (Wegmans) at about 6:30 am.
We walked in. There are pallets of canned spaghetti for $0.88 each. Gives you the impression things are fine. I notice there’s literally no one in the non-food section, but I notice no long lines.
Now, before I list the following, I must say that team WalMart was in the process of re-stocking, with another truck on the way (so we were told):
Sugar
Flour
Non poultry meats (some but very low in quantity)
hand sanitizer
rubbing alcohol
detergents
Saying this in caps for a reason:
THERE WAS PLENTY OF EVERYTHING ELSE!
[note, I didn’t even look in the TP aisle]
Of course, when I got outside, some woman and her daughter had this cool new sales pitch going:
HEY FOLKS! WE GOT YOUR SURVIVAL FOOD RIGHT HERE! STEP RIGHT UP!
So I bought 4 boxes of those Girl Scout Cookies.
‘Merica !
Also forgot to mention a good thing: Recently Fredo’s brother (Gov Cuomo) signed the law outlawing plastic bags at supermarkets and other places, making shopping very inconvenient for some across New York State. I was pleased to see that those gawd awful plastic bags were back at the Wal-Mart checkout this morning - at no charge.
Kudos to Wal Mart! Way to give the state-sponsored tree-huggers the middle finger!
