- last time I went we were limited to 2 packages of beef, chicken, pork. no paper products. eggs were full, veggies full -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 5, 14:06
- I’ll let you know when I pickup my order Tuesday. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 5, 07:44
- Just got back. Eggs, and meats were good. Pasta, flour, bread and paper products were pretty empty -- nm* - decline Apr 5, 07:36
- Our Wegmans had eggs last week -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 5, 07:27
- Pretty grim on our most recent pickup. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 5, 07:27 1
  - (Trying a different store for pickup tomorrow.) -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 5, 07:33
- Last time I went everything was in stock though selection was limited a bit. They had bread but no potato bread so I had to get Wonder. - Krusty Apr 5, 07:17
- We had a lot of eggs at the store a few days ago, but keep in mind it’s also the week before Easter so they may go quickly. We bought an extra dozen -- (edited) - kelly Apr 5, 07:16 5
  - I was about to post, I hope people don't go out and dye eggs when there's a shortage. ;P - loosilu Apr 5, 07:31 4
    - Eh. We still eat them after they’re dyed. It’s fine. -- nm - kelly Apr 5, 07:37 3
      - Yeah, if you're not wasting, and it provides normalcy to kids, I see no issue here -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 07:38 2
        
        N is getting very frustrated over all of this. I thought some normalcy was a good thing here. - kelly Apr 5, 08:07
        
        But it means *I* can't have eggs, and *I* can't be normal. (not because of you, Kelly, you shop at a different store). -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 07:48
- About the same. No soap or TP. Glad I'm not in desperate need for either. -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 5, 07:16
- I went to a store in the Financial District on Tuesday in a normally busy area where no one is now working. - Diva Apr 5, 07:15

  - I've seen paper towels but nothing else. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 07:15
Wouldn't it make sense for schools to adopt a year-round calendar now? Especially if they already have air-conditioning. -- nm - mara Apr 5, 07:07 17
- Here the A/C seems to be limited. It also takes away from summer programs, camps, summer employment, etc. It would need to be in every school so - Krusty Apr 5, 07:15 2
  - There's already school districts with a mix of the year round and regular schedules so it wouldn't have to a complete switch -- (edited) - JD Apr 5, 07:36
  - They air condition any rooms with computers but otherwise it's just open windows to deal with the heat. -- nm* - Krusty Apr 5, 07:18
- We should do what the teachers say, but we will end up doing what the Karens say -- nm - con_carne Apr 5, 07:12
- That’s something you need to announce at least a year out for parents to not make plans. - spamlet Apr 5, 07:12 4

    - we'll have 2 months or so in the 30's+, super humid where we are as well -- nm - Beaker Apr 5, 07:14 3
      - So, kinda like the American heartland but a bit cooler. -- nm - loosilu Apr 5, 07:15 2
        
        right, but no AC in schools cause no need. June can get unbearable; now the newer schools might have heat pumps but don't know -- nm* - Beaker Apr 5, 07:16 1
        
        None that I'm aware of. My school is two years old and it's plain old ducted heating. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 07:17
