Eerie morning đź›’
This morning I got up at 5 AM so I could hit the grocery store at opening during the VSH - vulnerable shoppers hour. It was an eerie drive because it was still dark, but also very foggy. I didn't see a single car along the way, but I'm not normally out at that time of the morning so maybe it's not unusual. Or was it the fog??
I wasn’t looking to stock up (i.e. hoard), just grab a few things I’d run out of. There weren’t as many shoppers as I expected, which was fine – you know, SD (social distancing) and all.
But there were lots of “outs.” I wasn’t surprised because there simply isn’t time to clean everything and restock, and I assume some deliveries just hadn’t happened yet. The water aisle was pretty bare, but still had a few options. Same with the pasta aisle, although the rice options were even more limited. Milk and eggs were running low, but what surprised me is there was no butter. I didn't know there was a run on butter. I’m not counting margarine as butter, by the way.
Dang, I forgot to check the paper aisle so I have no idea how TP was holding up. 🧻
