    I agree 100%

    We live only 15 minutes from a Safeway store... just down off the Mt about 4 miles

    We went in yesterday and bought a few things.
    We usually have a few packs of TP stashed in the closet just in case somebody forgot to put it on the shopping list......

    But the store manager told me the other day that Tuesday at opening (6 AM) we could get pretty much all we need.

    Grabbed a BIG bag of TP and tossed in the closet.

    Some food items are scarce, and others are abundant.

    The big box store...Kroger (Called Fred Meyer here) Walmart, and others have been hammered.

    The smaller privately owned stores are a lot better.

    It's like some folks don't even go beyond their normal places they shop.... Krogers is out....all is lost.
    The outlying stores are much better stocked.....

    I have heard people say "Oh we don't shop in those places" hmmmm, fine by me..
    WE can get better meat from the little guy...as he gets it from local cattle ranches and their meat is great.....

    Their meat case was full when we were there, and 2 miles away the Kroger had ZIP offer..

    Ebay had a seller offering ONE (1) ROLL of Charmin for $40
    That is criminal in these times...

    The redwing blackbirds arrived this afternoon :thumbs:. They are the real harbingers of spring for me and I love their calls.

    I am blessed. Not only can I work from home during these times, but I got a call from my boss today. My 1 year review came out and I got not only a merit raise, but also another proportional raise to bring me toward the top of my pay grade. I wasn't expecting a raise since they offered me more than I was expecting to start last year. Apparently they like me :)

    Ebay should ban them for life and like you say, charges should be filed.

    Hey, if you drink enough of them, it works. And you're rehydrating.

    The panic is not overblown..
    The reasons for the panic are, as in,
    there is a shortage of TP. Or..
    You need to buy masks... etc.
    Had it not been reported to death about the TP, or masks, (for example)
    there never would have been the panic buying.
    As soon as people see ONE shopping cart filled with TP,
    there ya go.....
    When you see people in China wearing masks,
    there ya go....
    Hand Sanitizer,
    there ya go....

    Whatever happened to personal responsibility ? Common sense? No one is to blame but the people hoarding.

    Best you give them a cartoon, assuming they can read could be a stretch.
