We can't even buy a candy bar at the local stores
without grid power.
Has anyone seen a backup generator at the local gas station?


Sadly, most stores are computer operated. Need
the computer to resupply, based on computer
recorded sales.

Years ago, I heard of one family owned store doing
shopping by flash light, pad, and cash only. During
a power cut. Made sense, to me.

Last power cut, the convenience store near me had
two candles, and a very weak 2D Never Ready flash
light in the place. I chatted a few minutes, and
he didn't sell much during that time.
