I went shopping at walmart today and it was pretty busy for a weekday. Some people seemed to be loading up on items and some looked like they were only buying what they needed at the moment, however there may be a lot of people who don't know about the strike. Like my daughter's bf & his mother had no idea, so she called to tell him so he could run by the store after work to pick up some necessities.
While shopping I overheard a woman on the phone talking to someone and saying how another walmart in the next county over (which is not far away) was "wiped out" and for that person to come shop at the store she was at.
Saw quite a few people with full carts.
Has anyone else noticed anything different at your local stores? Are the shelves being wiped clean yet?
Aldi's was out of water yesterday. I'm in N.C., about 2 hours from Ashville. I just assume it has to do with the disaster in the mountains. I don't know. I hope someone loaded up all the water and took it up there or possibly Aldi's might be diverting their water to them. They need the water more then I do right now.
Q: What's the most genocidal grocery chain?
A: All-die's
Aldi's is pretty good they have these country ribs and I like the ground pork and ground lamb 'bricks' they carry. Their cheeses are their loss leader--they have very inexpensive high quality cheeses there
I know. I hate to darken their door. I needed spring water to refresh my bread starter. I'm getting lower then I feel comfortable with. They are close to me and I don't have to get on the highway. I couldn't get the water because they were out. But, since I was there, I did up my cheese supply. I avoid Walmart. I haven't been in there in years. The only other closeby grocery store is Harris Teeter. I like their selections and I can get things like jicama, celeric root, and other produce you can't find anywhere else. But, they are woke.
