Attempted to get everything on grocery list today... Two stores this week to get 90%. Shelves are 1/3 empty or more. Some areas, little to no product.
Have to believe corporations are going to take a bath from lack of inventory.
Lots of half full carts and people wandering around looking for something they may like.
The guy up the street better put his cows away as he's gonna be missing one soon.
Stopped by a thrift store and found a very nice router table and jig setup dirt cheap.. With a sold label so I asked and guy in the hospital, good chance I get it when go back on Thursday (also left number and she was going to call the guy as it'd been couple weekd since he called). It's probably 750 to 800 new so I'm stalking it big time and has a nice router.

Well, at least the check out lines won't take as long.

I didn't have to worry about spending too much this week. Hunted around for stuff usually don't get and found a few new things to try.

Was supposed to tee off at 8:10 this morning. There was a frost delay until 9:00. I think that is the first time I have run into that since moving here

Went to the grocery store today and found all the shelves full as usual here. They had full coolers of beef, pork and chicken. All y'all shortages must be being delivered here.

It’s like that here today in Gainesville Georgia. As I was taking a picture of the empty egg shelves lady next to me was doing the same thing lol

She said this is the third local Walmart she’s been at and they’re all like this, said don’t tell me this is because of the storm, this is Joe Biden‘s fault thanks Joe Biden

And I said back to her, let’s go Brandon lol

FWIW I believe this was the product of two things, people making a rush before the storm, and losing power. I talked to one of the employees and he confirmed my suspicion, they lost power and had to throw stuff out

It is intentional, planned, and by design and that pisses me off more than anything. ALL of this was avoidable. ALL of it.

I sure as shit guarantee you this would not be the case if the President was still in office.

Went to a Walmart and an IGA, IGA was a tad better stocked especially with meat however dairy was about empty where Walmart milk n eggs were about only thing pretty much full. Lunchmeat isle empty both places, sodas and water isle poor at best at both.
I'd say meat isles about half of normal, frozen about 1/3 of normal. Bread isles both full. Paper products isles about 1/3 normal. Nobody hoarding or buying alot just nothing on shelves.
Gas shot up 20 cents couple nights ago to 2.99, came down a few cents today. Why I have no idea. The day it went up stock market was up.

No shortage of fkn Valentine's Day candy though. I guess those shipments got first priority.

How do we have a supposed shortage of workers and truckers...but shelves full of chocolate that wasn't there two weeks ago?
Watch, the same shit will happen at Easter. No food but plenty of baskets and bullshit.
