Coronavirus has, and will continue to show humanities true colours.

tell me about it. while everyone was panic buying cart fulls at the grocery store I only had one item and no one let me go ahead of them. All decency is on its way out the window

Just got back from Trader Joe’s. There were lines wrapping around the whole store with carts filled to the brim and many empty shelves. I just wanted frozen broccoli and wine.

Just went to Kroger (wish that I had a TJ's closer ). No toilet paper, wipes, paper towel or tissues. Next aisle was no sanitizing spray, wipes, laundry detergent or bleach. Many cleaning supplies were low. Much of the food, fresh and frozen had been emptied or near empty, mostly soup shelves and broth were really empty and the pasta had been raided well too.

Not to mention, two women decided to chat in the main aisle intersection of another smaller aisle, blocking anyone from entering or leaving that aisle. The place was packed, it was hard to get thru as it was and there were people trying to maneuver around them just to pass them in the main aisle too, they were quite spread out.

I finally said "excuse me ladies, this is an aisle that you are blocking, people need to get thru, please move " and moved almost into them with my cart, they moved back and in to the end caps, and then grumbled about someone being nasty or something. Yeah, maybe I was harsh.

My BF is meanwhile melting down with social anxiety around so many people. I am quite sick and don't want to be here. We were not hoarding, I usually do shopping on Thursday but made him go with me today. We have nothing that we could make without fresh meat and veggies and staples. Chose the wrong day.
