This fake crap has to stop - people have to be held accountable.  They have the ability to trace this stuff and it should be a crime to do this during a time like this.

It should be a crime.

Then, for fun I drove over to the nearby Rite-Aid.  Empty.  The toilet paper and towels were gone, of course, and perhaps the waters were, too, but I didn't look for that stuff.  They had frozen stuff and plenty of it, lots of ice cream, and mountains of candy and chips.  I bought some pretzels, peanuts, cashews, and stuff like that, just to have a few snacks around so I don't have to endure the markets.  And as of tomorrow, I'm going to eat a few meals in restaurants again - I hear tell they're pretty empty.

The advice to have a 2 week supply in case of being quarantined is reasonable. The fact that people are buying months of supplies is crazy.

Oddly there is, unless this new round of buying cleaned it out, plenty of soap on the shelves.

I am glad you are going to support the restaurants even though we stayed home tonight.

After I left work, I went to Costco.

It was rather busy, but people weren't acting crazy.

There was no toilet paper to be found anywhere!

A co-worker went yesterday and was told that it all goes first thing in the morning, and even that's with a 2-pack limit!

After Costco, I went to McDonald's to try their new (but temporary) double Big Mac.

It was just a Big Mac with four patties...not bad, but the patties on the one I got were a little dry.

It wasn't terrible, but it would probably be better to get one during lunch or earlier in the evening when there's more turnover and everything's more freshly cooked.

At least there is now a limit.  I realize businesses shop in bulk at Costco and often need larger amounts of supplies, still those packs contain a lot of rolls of tp.

There are also a couple of Smart Foodservice stores (formerly known as Cash & Carry) in the area and I would think that since they're a restaurant supply store, they would also have toilet paper and paper towels.
