You can track the Covid numbers by how much tp there is at Costco. As soon as numbers started going up again in Canada, they started rationing it, and they sold out when it started spiking.
I feel like this metric could become some kind of a new Waffle House Index
it's wild.
literally all people have in their lives is the experience of shopping, to center them. the supermarket experience. they cannot imagine life without it.
"get your groceries delivered from your regular store. it's free. you get exactly the same shit every time anyway. you have diabetes and are 175 years old"
"no, it's not the same. I gotta pick what I want. see what's there"
while real people get to minimise and control their interactions and work from home.

It's insane how these facebook groups for large corporations are able to spread propaganda. Might be a good opportunity, chapos. Don't be weird.
My gf gets all the updates about her job (overtime, covid case counts, etc.) from a specific Facebook group that all her coworkers use. It's also a platform for all the crazy qanon/anti-masker types to be really loud. OP was talking about how rumors were spreading about another US lockdown and most of those rumors spread on Facebook. I was probably a bit too indirect.
uh oh I hope this doesn't spread to my neck of the woods i'm about half broken already from this new deeper circle of retail hell
the area i work in is semi rural but near some cities so we got a delayed explosion of customers the last time. eventually the cities cleared out the shelves and everyone poured into our small place and stripped us bare. just the other day a few customers were like "wow you have so much we came here from X state" and I was basically like "fuck here they come". We aren't closing for tsgiving either, it's going to be insane.
Martial law? Not sure. Lockdown? Yep sometime early next year.
I'm thinking something more extensive the the Trump pseudo lockdown. Drove by a covid testing site and it was insane how many were there. Shits nasty right now.
New Mexico starts a 2 week lock down reset on Monday and chuds are losing their minds. No TP left. We're going mad max fellas
There’s no reason grocery stores need to be fucking open to the public. Just have online orders and hire people to You can choose between 8 brands of flavorless salsa just as well. It’s hard enough working without people climbing over you to grab a case of cambell’s soup.
Yeah true that, big oversight on my part. I’m just cranky from being worked to the bone in retail hell.
There’s plenty of ways to mitigate such a lack of access to the internet but this IS a shithole country.
My chain actually had a few stores do what you suggested. Seemed to work for those 2-3 stores but they haven't expanded it.
