I wrote the following at another board last Friday....it's RIDICULOUS here (Cali).
I went to a shit ton of stores today to get water and some groceries, as I do every week, and they were all out of water, toilet paper, most cleaning supplies, bleach, etc. The lines were through the stratosphere. I called the Costco 25 minutes away from me, as I live a ways out of town, and at 9:30am they stated they had a LOT of water that everybody should be able to get. I get there at 10:15am, and they are fukking out! I had already went to Wal-Mart earlier this morning, and they were all out at 7:45am, WTF! ...hence the reason for calling Costco ahead of time so I wouldn't waste my trip. I get there, and the car line is backed up through the freeway, and people are walking out with 2 carts packed with water and toilet paper. I was so fukking pissed, I had to calm myself because I had my daughter with me.
People are fukking being ridiculous over this BS. The stupid fear-mongering is ridiculous. Half the people had masks on too
I can understand the cleaning products, and hand sanitizers and shit, but TOILET PAPER? WATER? Have some effin' respect to leave some for others, we are not at war or going through the Walking Dead.
I'll tell you this, on a small level I blame 2 people:
1) Costco and these stores for at least not putting a limit on then water.
2) Myself for not having my usual supply in stock ahead of time. The thing is, my 2 kids and myself have been sick like crazy the whole last month...so yea, I needed to restock some. BUT, if it's going to be survival of the fittest and all this bullshitt, once they start getting more supplies in regularly, i'm stocking my whole fukking house with water and supplies. Stupid fukkers.
I think the other thing that makes all this worse is that out here in Cali, on top of all the people thinking it's a Zombie apocalypse, is that you have a shit ton of people reliant of welfare and shit, and with it being the first of the month, it was like a double effin' whammy.
I always go to Wal-mart between 7-8:30am once a week because it's not crowded, but today everybody and their mom was there.
I went to like 10 other stores before my daughter started getting her fever back, so I had to head back home.
