No crowds to speak of. In fact, for the first time since the Shadow of Doom began, the parking lot at Walmart was half-empty with
spaces adjacent to the one entrance available. Inside, the check-stand lines were relatively short.
Unfortunately, the one item that I was interested in was in a locked cabinet. Even so, an attendant with a key showed up quicker than usual. Who
(smilingly) said "don't let me interfere with your attempt to break in." Which I clarified saying "I wouldn't BREAK anything. I simply take the
(waiting ) opportunity to see if I can pick the lock. I used to be fairly successful with the old style, but not these new ones".
Moving on, Stater Bros. was also lighter than usual with most items available. Some limited. The exception being NO TOILET
PAPER ! The continued panic over that is STRANGE.
Meat plentiful.. Rib Eyes @5.99 lb. Lunch meat in Deli cabinet sparse.
Newspapers still available where usually sold.
On a bright note, there was original-flavor (albeit only low sodium) SPAM. Along with some of those odd flavors like
Turkey, Teriyaki, Hickory Smoke. My interest was academic since we have long-since reached a fair capacity on Spam.
Tomorrow is another day. |
