I was dreading our monthly trip to BJs. This morning, we arrived early, expecting to wait in the parking lot. Surprise, the store opened early; people were pouring in. Carts crowded the aisles. Every single shopper had one package of paper towels and one package of Kleenex boxes - today's substitute for toilet paper. (I sure hope they flush okay).
There was plenty of non-perishable food, some dried and canned beans (which I bought) and some huge bags of rice. No pasta. No canned tuna, green beans, or corn. There were soap and dishwashing liquid, but zero disinfectants. Zero nonfat dry milk, which I particularly wanted. Plenty of fresh dairy; less meat and fish. A lot of candy and cereal...could the hoarders be sticking with healthy food?
By the time we checked out, the register lines were to the back of the store. I felt for the store employees, who are generally nice in this store, and tried to chat or at least smile at each one.
Wonder what another month will bring.
