INTEL - grocery store cashier | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 78486358  United States02/22/2020 04:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We saw our usual cashier at the grocery store this morning, and she told us that it had been an unusual day - a lot of people were coming through with carts FULL of stuff, and multiples of items, like 8 of this, 10 of that. It came up because a lady 2 people ahead of us had a huge cart full, and I mentioned it. Our cashier said "yeah, it's been like that this morning, people stocking up like it's the end of the world or something."  I mentioned "maybe it's the Coronavirus," and she said she didn't know about that. Just thought it was interesting, and I'd pass it on. We see her every Saturday morning for years now, she's never said anything like that before.  |

A couple of days ago in California in one grocery store I saw a bunch of people with carts full of toilet paper and water and canned foods. One woman had about 100 cans in her cart. I've been slowly prepping for a month and have been going to the store often and this is the first time I've noticed people doing this. The masses are starting to catch on. |

As the technician came over to me to call for a manager, he talked to me for a minute saying this has been put into place by corporate. As It turns out that they had Received orders to freeze transactions when the system detects hoarding to avoid clearing the shelves. Interesting. |

Supposedly, (this is un-verified 'chan' rumor) next Thursday February 27th, there's going to be a major announcement by the federal government about the Coronavirus: This is when the Federal government comes clean to the public, and declares it a 'pandemic'. Included are more travel restrictions, cancellations of non-essential large events (like concerts and sporting events) and rationing of certain 'hoardable' items. That's when the panic-buying will really set in. Last Edited by Sikhed on 02/22/2020 08:57 PM :doom360: |

User ID: 78511106  Romania02/22/2020 09:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yea we went to the store and hoarded up last night. My favourite cashier with the lazy eye rang us up, and she said it had been like a ghost town all day (Saturday). The parking lot was scary empty. She mentioned that it’s usually like that when there’s a big game everyone watches. I remembered just before we left that the ethnic tard maoris and abos had a dance off for a rugby game. Maybe that’s what everyone was doing, watching rugby. Business as usual here in Australia |

It may age in peculiar ways, like a fine wine, to the point where you will wish you had forgotten more. The only thing that changed flavor was the corn chips cooked in sunflower oil. They took on a flavor reminiscent of ranch dressing, and never got any worse. If you could get past the first handful, they would start to taste pretty good. Not even the chickens would eat them.
