INTEL - grocery store cashier

A family member of mine works at Costco and checked the warehouse stock of rubbing alcohol and found that there was none available to ship to stores. This was a couple weeks ago. Costco has a number of warehouses so it could just be the one warehouse without stock and they may have stock again now - but it's not something that is usually out of stock so it was considered odd to have low stock.

Mine did not flag in the system when I purchased some, and the store I was shopping at still had stock a few weeks ago. Not sure about now.



In Canada here, and many Costco locations have self checkouts. They're fairly new though, just going in in the last few months.

Not prepping. Just have guns and lots of bullets.

And what the fuk does THAT have to do with the Republic of Texas?!?!

GO VODKA!

All wuflu related subjects have been reassessed
cost wise and deemed to be ¥0.50. I think it’s due to
turd worlders contributing and also China rather than
King Soros is funding

IF the supply chain is about to experience an issue, then what would be the first items affected?

And nothing looked funky in the store, no empty shelves, nothing like that. So for all the people saying "I went shopping today at --- and everything was fine," it was there at Fry's too. I'm just passing along what she said because it struck me as unusual.

And I don't think she knew about the Coronavirus at all, or if she did, she didn't make any connection - just shrugged it off when I mentioned it - which made the "end of the world" comment that much more interesting.

Although something I have noticed, even caught it today a bit when we were at the mall, is that stores that were normally so packed with crap that they are hard to walk though seem less packed, if that makes sense. To someone who isn't observant, they probably wouldn't know anything is different. And not like things have been cleaned off the shelves or anything - just like more space between shelves. I noticed it at Fry's, and later at Barnes and Noble and Kohl's too. Could be totally unrelated, but it was noticeable to me.

I had to go to 3 different stores to find banana pepper rings this evening.

I noticed the exact same thing today. Everyone was hoarding multiples.

Thank you! I like firsthand accounts too. Glad I could share one that's somewhat interesting.

Do doom scare grocery store rushes prop up sagging economies?

Is the economy sagging underneath the fake doom?

Oh. I misread then. I need new glasses.

That’s and interesting thought that I hadn’t considered. I’ve got about $20K of credit limit available. And I had been considering how much silver I’m willing to sell. I guess I don’t need to sell any silver after all.

What, from China


Here’s your ¥0.50

Vodka IS more versatile...

Please tell me someone pointed out that it's tax time. All the not having money peopeople are rich. And there is absolutely no shortage of vodka. None.

People won't be panic buying for a long while still.
I mentioned what's happening in China at work yesterday and I got blank stares; as in, what's happening in China...
The average sheep knows sweet fuck all, period!
That's why they're so dangerous.

I said my son-in-law had lost his job and I was stocking up for their family as well as mine. Cashier said I was a nice person. (They will be sharing - they're coming to my house when SHTF)

I bought a nylon mask with replaceable filters on Dec. 30, 2019. Got 2 for 11.00 and change. I got them for sawdust, they are N95. Out of curiosity, I went to check them and the price was 51.00 for one mask, same brand. This was a few days ago.
I had bought refills and they had gone from 12.00 for 20 to almost 30.00. Now they are all out of stock and no idea when more comes. That was Amazon.

I've been prepping by making trips to the store and buying online.

I bought 2 cans of 48 oz. folger's coffee last night on Amazon, it was 6.76 per can. Now they are out of it in prime pantry and all the other cans were more than 10.00 each. The price at Walmart online is the same now.

I couldn't find anything less than 10.00 per can of 48 oz. except the Great Value brand and that was almost 8.00 per can of 48 oz.

Dog food I bought last week has gone up 4.00 per 20lb bag on Amazon and online Walmart is the same.

Many, many items I buy online at Walmart are out of stock tonight.

I've been prepping for awhile now and am just noticing this happening in the past week or so.

Better get your coffee in order, that's looking pretty doomy.

Have never before seen large amounts of toilet paper prominently displayed at my local Smiths' and Vons/Albertsons
grocery stores.

Also at Vegas' 99 Cent Stores, 6 rolls for $3. Usually you can find 4 small rolls for $1. No more. Luckily I'd already stocked up and at a cheaper price.

Haha, you like the aged foods. Limberger cheese and stale cookies are good, too.

That beer....not sure I would consume it, it'll be skunked for sure. I found a can of beer in the garage once, the best by date was older than my #1 daughter (8 years old at the time). Cracked it open and immediately poured it down the drain and opened the window for ventilation.

garlic. someone said price is up 30%
and 80% comes from China.

.

Thursday I noticed all the expensive paining respirators were sold out at Home Depot, and the really nice goggles.

Friday I noticed several brands of disposable gloves were sold out at the department store. I assumed someone from a hospital or doctor's office bought them all because of the distribution problems out of China.

How would you stock after the apocalypse? Strange concept there!

Your laziness and selfishness are not going to work out well for you. We know about people like you, sadly. We also are well-stocked in that department. You've read the posts - and I hope you don't think those people were kidding! Please try to provide honestly for yourself and the people you love, if you love anyone.

Garlic and onions are both in short supply now. Even India's crop failed, and they use them in almost every meal.

"You're a CASHIER! Too funny!

Thanks!
