Crazy visit to Sams Club in kansas city....

[USALiberal]

Parking lot packed, no toilet paper, no hand disinfectant at all. Long lines. 30% of people had 1 to 5 cases of water. Not sure why they think public water system will stop working.
Stuff getting real.

1. Good point to be brought up....

If said public water system stops working that TP isn't going to do much good

[rurallib]

2. Went to my local Costco yesterday

along with the usual TP, water and paper towels there seemed to be a run on liquor.

4. Well if I'm quarantined, I'm getting drunk.

7. Picked this up on the way home from the grocery store

[rurallib]

11. appropriate

[htuttle]

18. The clerk said it's very popular right now

10. Sub for hand sanitizer?

picture all over my facebook feed today: hillbillies at the still--"Moonshine?? Hell, naw, officer--we makin' hand sanitizer!"

[rurallib]

12. a tad expensive, but whatever works

3. Hey...they sold the idiots on plastic and duct tape all those years ago....

Seal up that house as the Terra threat goes to blue or red or whatever color was on the Bush chart. Had rolls of duct tape on a broom handle at my local Home Depot right by the cash register.

5. Once they saw trump last night

While all of the sports cancelled events and postponed seasons, they finally realized trump and Fox have been lying.

21. Quite likely they can't imagine Trump or Faux would actually lie to them.

It's just that there have been "alternative facts" issued.

6. I shudder to think how many in those long lines were contagious.

Sounds like our stable genius did a great job of reassuring the public last night.

8. I just got back from going to Walgreen's and Pick and Save

The same thing at both. Luckily I have an unopened case of Costco toilet paper and some hand sanitizer as well as disinfectant wipes a lysol spray.

[mnhtnbb]

13. I went to Walgreen's today to pick up a prescription refill.

There were some packs of TP--not many--but some. I bought one. Should have plenty now. Several of us women in the store had a good laugh about it since we can't just shake it off like the men do. We also had a discussion about clueless people walking around coughing next to others. A woman from the pharmacy counter had just walked past the three of us in line and coughed as she passed me. No attempt to cover her mouth at all. That started me on the story about the guy in the grocery store yesterday who I watched cough--without covering his mouth--standing in front of all the bottled salad dressings. I turned around and went the other way.

What is it with people?



I am now "supplied". I won't be going anywhere other than to walk the dog several times/day. My e-mail is filling with canceled events: ballet, touring chamber music group, and I'm expecting the musical theater production going up next week to be canceled, too.

[AJT]

14. That happened to my daughter yesterday. She was inline and a woman turned around and coughed in her

face without covering her mouth. WTF is that about? As my mom used to say "were you raised in a barn?".

[comradebillyboy]

9. I went to Costco a week ago My wife told me to get

toilet paper. As a dutiful hubby I did as I was told. I got to the TP aisle and it was absolutely mobbed but TP was still in stock. My wife's BFF went there a couple of day later and no TP, no bleach and no hand sanitizer.

[captain queeg]

15. Still TP at the store but hand sanitizer has been gone for a week.

I don’t get the TP and bottled water. I got a few OTC Drugs today and they were pretty picked over and got some disinfectant wipes. Those are still available. I have a couple weeks worth of food so not worried there. Shopping with my card, cash is probably best to avoid. I’ve been reading the SK recommend the quinine based anti malaria. I used to have a couple bottles of that they gave me for Afghanistan. I wonder if they are still in my storage room though they’d be almost 10 yrs old.

16. what a bloody mess

[Hermit-The-Prog]

17. If you're gonna shop, do it at odd hours. If crowded, go home.

[haele]

22. Some people use TP for Kleenex.

That's the only reason I can think that there would be a run on TP.

[blueinredohio]

24. I've had to use Kleenex when I ran out of t.p..

When I ran out of Kleenex I used paper towels. They're a little rougher but whatever works. Just don't flush them idk but may clog toilet.

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. We stocked up a week ago.

same way we stock up in hurricane season...early. Even then there were holes in the shelves at the only
Wal-mart within 50 miles.
Today Mr. Dixie sez crowds, stuffed carts, and only 2 cashiers there.

And state of Alabama sez ..."It won't come here, but if it does, we'll figure something out then"


Seriously.
