Look, I know it is stressful. I am just trying to share how I was successful to see if it can help you.

Now, if you don’t want the help, I will let you go to your corner and fume and pout.

But, trust me, I am in this with you. I have dealt with items going out of stock while I am loading my cart. Items going out of stock throughout the day. Even Chewy took a week to ship me pet supplies (they ship same day and even had an email out the day I ordered stating they were shipping same day).

At Wally, I loaded my cart, and I checked out frequently, until I finally got a slot for pickup.

And while there are other options (we also went to Whole Foods which was well stocked), I got Wally to work with the above steps.

Garden sprayers with carbolic acid should make quick work of sanitizing. Bleach works well also or hydrogen peroxide solution.

Uh, learn to understand statistics and figures before speaking.

I’ll try to explain: 80% of the DEATHS are people 65 and older.

It is not 80% of the persons infected.

Give it a go to try to understand. I’m confident you’ll catch on eventually.

Have you ever been to a Waddlemart after midnight? I swear there are aliens and zombies there then. Looks like something out of M.I.B. I kept thinking I’d hear someone say “I’ll need a snack. It’s going to be a long trip.”

Aldi is top shelf. They have very few people, they work them hard and pay them well and they seem to enjoy their work. They hire right somehow.

I have seen one of their stores not as clean as I would like but they mostly are.

I actually like the limited selection that is varied with Aldi Finds. Their meat is also very good. In fact, we can’t recall a single thing we have bought there that was not good.

Not saying it’s will get worse, but with the simultaneous national wipe out of big box staple store inventory, and massive national shock disruption of available food/staple distribution, its turned into a crisis in and of itself, and is sending shockwaves through the markets.

Same exact thing is happening around the undustrialized world.

We are very close to something worse.

Trump is trying to settle everyone down, “flatten the virus curve”, and not get blamed for “not doing enough” all at the same time, while the mass media and press are doing their worst, to try and inflate and panic a morally bankrupt, and historically illiterate, and scientifically illiterate society.

We are very vulnerable and fragile place...

And our enemies know it.

Not saying at all that a life is not important, (life is important), but the most stupid part of this, in the current trajectory, it is unlukely the number of additional deaths even hardly equate to a “rounding error” in the annual average of flu/viral deaths, either here, or in most countries.

This is the power of moral bankruptcy, illiteracy, and docile societal ignorance, specifically targeted by opportune propaganda wolves!

They said an hour before opening, and opening is 7 — so from 6 to 7, I believe.

“It is also only an hour.”

Right. And at 6:00. My hubby volunteered at a retirement home, and at 6 am everyone was still in Dreamland. Cars didn’t leave the parking lot until 9-ish.

Bitch bitch bitch - the stores will be cleaner than normal and maybe limiting some items will help those the locusts left hanging.

People that don’t live in California don’t understand our shelves are bare. Daughter went to Trader Joe’s the other night looking for almond milk. She said the whole store was bare. Wall to wall. Have a friend that grocery shops at Walmart. She said they haven’t had anything to buy for at least a week. By the time she gets there the shelves are bare. Was talking to my cousin in Oklahoma yesterday that shops at Walmart. She said if I get there early I can buy tp and paper towels but then it’s gone but there’s plenty of food on the shelves. I tried to explain to her that it’s not the same here. The food is all gone. It was hard for her to understand that.

We have a small chain in the Midwest called, ‘Piggly Wiggly.’ Yes, it’s silly, but they are iconic to us. :)

I went shopping on Tuesday, just to see how the next town over (4K population) was faring. I started at the Super Walmart, and they were completely out of a lot of staples, though if you weren’t picky about brands, you could still get what you needed. ANYTHING that was the ‘Great Value’ store brand was gone - higher priced items were still available.

Next I hit the Piggly Wiggly and it was as if NOTHING was going on. they were fully stocked on everything and the only item that was limited was Charmin TP - you could only buy 4 packs at a time...and they had a HUGE end cap display of it. Oh, they were out of Yukon Gold potatoes. ;)

So, my little local store is doing better than the HUGE chains.

My wife and I picked up another Walmart computer order yesterday.

They shorted 3 items out of 25 items, 1 on TP and cans of veggies.

They had substitutions on 12 items. All were good products and at the lower price originally quoted.

We have been computer ordering and picking up at Walmart since they went to that process last year.

At first my wife didn’t like it. Now, she tells me time for an order. She still prefers to go Nob Hill or Raleys for fresh veggies.

We buy a lot of stuff on line from Amazon prime. My wife uses a special hair spray stuff and the hair shop she goes to is closed for 30 days with this crud. I placed an order 2 days ago, and it will be here today.
