Market Friday-- Corona Run at The Largest Grocery Store in Texas

in GEMS5 years ago (edited)

Market Friday is an Initiative started by the wonderful @dswigle

They Announced school closings here in San Antonio...

and along with POTUS calling it a National Emergency...well that led to a "blowout" of all stores ( at least in San Antonio which is the 7th largest US City). We scurried around and made it to HEB around 2pm.

Below , is a pic of outside of HEB when we first arrived. The cars were parking on the grass as there was no space left to park.

Below , The cereal section was blown out with no inventory hardly at all.

Conclusion....

This is a pandemic but just remember the regular Flu has been a much heinous killer than this CoronaVirus

Sort:  

Insane people buying up all the toilet paper

People are just a bunch of ass wipes lol

Same thing yesterday at Wal-Mart. No toilet paper. I bought $405 worth of groceries. Even stuff I would never usually get. Drove 110mph like I was in a Mad Max movie.

Crazy stuff. Uncharted territory. Be safe Robert!

Thanks Brian....you too !!

Good post

Yeah, stores have been crazy. Luckily the supply chain has been doing it's best to keep up with the demand. I can't imagine what will happen if that gets disrupted.

Oh, I had done my panic shopping three weeks before this, knowing how people are. I sat home and watched it on the news.

Thank God! I do miss San Antonio and HEB!!!

I want to let you know how much I appreciate all the time and effort you have spent creating a wonderful post for the challenge this week. I was glad to come shopping and visit my beloved HEB!

Thank you so much !!!

#MarketFriday loves you!
