Grocery store report.

Posted by znufrii Apr 7 '20, 12:14

Tuesday afternoons are a lot less busy. They’ve blocked off certain aisles to keep traffic going generally in one direction, pretty much all the customers and staff were wear masks or some other sort of face covering. Most everything was well stocked except the usual suspects (tp, hand sanitizers).

Responses:

Also, also, soooo many snacks. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 12:41
Also, despite stocking up with the intention of having more food in the house so we don’t need to buy as much - znufrii Apr 7, 12:36
I haven't been in (I think) two weeks. Due to go this week. I'm sure I'll find a lot has changed. -- nm - zunkskunk with the bad take Apr 7, 12:31
Are other places having senior hours for the first hour or so the store is open? - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 7, 12:23 14
- Yup, Ralphs was opening a 7am for seniors, now they've pushed it back to 6am :/ And the one time I tried that the line stretched the length of - Meg Apr 7, 12:42 1
  - Yeah, they probably need a delayed opening or something. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 7, 12:50
- Ours does. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 12:32
- yup M-F for first 2 hours -- nm - decline Apr 7, 12:32
- several here 2 or 3 days a week have senior hours. why they think we are all up before dawn puzzles me. -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 7, 12:27 4
  - Those stores need to open later. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 7, 12:29
  - it is more because they want them to have access to the store when it has been freshly cleaned and stocked overnight rather than assuming they are - Andie Apr 7, 12:28
  - Cuz you're in bed at 7 pm. 8 hours sleep, up at 3 am. -- nm - VMan Apr 7, 12:28
  - The idea is that when they first open, the store is cleanest. -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 12:28
- Grocery and pharmacies here. -- nm - loosilu Apr 7, 12:26
- yes -- nm - Diva Apr 7, 12:25
- The ones here are. -- nm - VMan Apr 7, 12:25
- definitely happening around here -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 12:24
- My mother said they were doing that where she lives. -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 7, 12:24
I’m flummoxed that people are still hoarding TP at this juncture -- nm - JackDawson Apr 7, 12:22 17
- There were limits posted, but the shelves were empty. *shrug* -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 12:34 1
  - supply chain breakdown - they can't get it delivered fast enough -- nm - decline Apr 7, 12:44
- most people never kept the receipts and cannot return it. -- nm* - Peglegpete Apr 7, 12:27 1
  - my grocery store is not accepting any returns -- nm - decline Apr 7, 12:30
- PTPSD. -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 7, 12:25
- we're not pooping at the office! -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 12:24 10
  - The stores urgently need to impose limits. When I went to the HEB here they had so much TP it was crowding the regular space. -- nm - JackDawson Apr 7, 12:25 9
    - I've heard that many stores are. -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 12:30 1
      - A co-worker who went to Sam's in the Hudson Valley said the entire aisle was roped off and employees would give you TP if you requested it. - ty97 Apr 7, 12:32
    - Family just shows up and pays separately, unfortunately -- nm - con_carne Apr 7, 12:27 4
      - one person shops. once a week. if people just followed the rules we'd all be fine. -- nm - Andie Apr 7, 12:32 3
        
        As in, there's a place currently doing this successfully? -- nm - con_carne Apr 7, 12:43 1
        
        Everyone here does it. -- nm - Andie Apr 8, 06:18
        
        Seriously STOP GOING TO THE STORE AS A GROUP THIS IS NOT A FIELD TRIP -- nm - ty97 Apr 7, 12:33
    - Most stores I've been to here (though it's been a couple of weeks) were limiting to one package of that and paper towels. -- nm - pmb Apr 7, 12:27 1
      - *wanking motion* -- nm - con_carne Apr 7, 12:28
- Before they were hooking themselves up, now it's time to help whoever -- nm - con_carne Apr 7, 12:24
our Acme is using arrows taped to the floor - I got inordinately angry at the people who were ignoring those arrows (there were a lot of them) -- nm - decline Apr 7, 12:15 9
- Our Ingles just put them up. Good idea. I hope people don’t ignore them. -- nm - kelly Apr 7, 12:43
- Yup, same here, which I didn’t notice until halfway through my shop. Oops. -- nm - znufrii Apr 7, 12:35
- My issue would be, and it happens all the time, is I'd pass something in the aisle. Would I have to circle around? - zunkskunk with the bad take Apr 7, 12:28
- they're using arrows at the Roche Brothers I went to last week. People were totally adhering. -- nm* - Diva Apr 7, 12:27
- same for Walmart and sobeys here -- nm - Beaker Apr 7, 12:25
- Same thing happening here. Although more and more seem to be catching on. -- nm - VMan Apr 7, 12:19
- Local Walmart is doing that. People just don't give a fuck. I try to abide, but then other people are just going which ever direction suits them. - Shaun Apr 7, 12:18 1
  - Some things I have heard from a Walmart employee. - the wrong element, bad guy Apr 7, 12:27
- You're allowed to shoot them. It's in the Constitution. -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 7, 12:17
