“... someone stole a roll of Toilet paper from the women’s room of a Target last night.”
FRiends — keep a folded up wad of tp on you when visiting public facilities, just in case. Those of us over 55 especially ;)
Now there will be a run on lockable tp dispensers for store stalls. Ripple ripple ripple...
Thank you for your insight. I appreciate the hard work you and your co-workers are doing.
Yea, over 90% of the customers are fine. It’s the less than 10% of them that suck. The worst is when they decide to discard perishable food on a shelf in another department or aisle. Once found, it immediately goes to Claims and can’t be sold since it might be spoiled. Empty packages are also found throughout the store since the a-hole either stole it or ate it.
This past week has been the absolute worst though. Some aisles look like a war zone. We try but it is impossible to keep things clean and organized. Closing the store at night is the most effective option to fix the problem IMO. At least until the vultures return the next morning.
More tp is on the way... https://youtu.be/Z74OfpUbeac
Thank you but it is an impossible task. An hour after you fix a natural disaster area known as the TP, hand sanitizer, bottled water, canned goods, or rice aisles, it looks like you didn’t do a damn thing. It’s hopeless.
I just can’t buy all this.
You and me both!
The following kind of puts things in perspective.
CDC estimates* that, from October 1, 2019, through March 7, 2020, there have been:
36,000,000 – 51,000,000 flu illnesses
17,000,000 – 24,000,000 flu medical visits
370,000 – 670,000 flu hospitalizations
22,000 – 55,000 flu deaths
And how about the 2018 flu season in the U.S.
CDC: 80,000 people died of flu last winter in U.S., highest death toll in 40 years.
Then again, it may be nothing more than the Good Lord's way of "thinning the herd."
The evidence for that abounds.
Empty Shelves - Understanding supply chains logistics and recovery efforts
That is an 8.1% death rate....nowhere near 1.4% or so.
Q: Why have there been so many coronavirus deaths in Italy?
A: Italy has reported 1441 coronavirus deaths. Experts say the high number is partly because Italy has more residents in the vulnerable age category.
Italy has the oldest population in Europe and more elderly per capita than the U.S. Most of the Italian deaths are in patients in their 80s and 90s.
In addition, Italy has a great number of direct China contacts. Italy was the first to join China's "silk road" economic partnership project. The coronavirus is believed to have originated in China.
Italy's 1441 deaths are out of a population of 60 million people. Even though one death is too many, it is still a small relative number.
subj Walmart parking lots used by travelers
Look around they’re probably there. Tourist state areas like Florida, California for sure.No tents usually cars, vans,small motorhomes. Have a friend who on trips will park in their lots on his trips with his converted truck into a motorhome.
LOL...sharing that!!
Well, as I said, I haven’t noticed this, at the Walmart stores that I shop, in Texas.
Stores like Wal-mart would be smart to double triple order the items that have been getting wiped out.
However, only put out 3/4 of the usual inventory.
And then put out the remainder throughout the day.
Give them a chance to restock shelves, if they had product and to limit the hours when shelves could be stripped bare of stock?
Because everyone knows, the virus only comes out after midnight, and goes back in its hole at daybreak.
LOL! They haven't stocked the shelves in my local 24-hour Walmart in at least 3 years. It always looks like a going-out-of-business sale is going on.
Called my pharmacy last night and their hours have been changed too...shorter. That’s going to become the norm.
It isn’t helping matters that rumors of flying of stores shutting down completely; people just imagine the concept of no stores and probably want to get their Christmas shopping done now...
