It's happening here now with some items too. Supermarkets and Walmart
are out of TP, wipes, spray disinfectant. But plenty of food of just
about all kinds, including some that you'd think could be out, like
canned soups.


Once I heard that strawberry Pop-Tarts were a common item for stores to
be out of.

I noticed one of the few things Walmart was out of here was Chef Boyardee
canned Italian crap. Why anyone would buy that when there is lots of dry
pasta and sauces, IDK. I just heard some Costco in LA have a 2.5 hour
checkout line. You'd figure that with a line like that, you probably
can't get much of what you want anyway. But you do expose yourself to
a crowd for 2.5 hours.
