Still More Signs of the Times

Here are a few photos from our sample-less Saturday grocery shopping. Apparently, the apocalypse is upon us...

One of many signs posted throughout the store. I forgot to mention in the previous post that rice was wiped out at that store's rice aisle. There were a few remaining sacks and boxes at this store. At least there were yesterday.

Apparently, people are following the well-informed advice of government officials and are therefore stocking up on bacon. Hurry, only a couple of boxes remaining! Oddly, there seems to be plenty of Canadian bacon left. Do we not trust the Canadians?

Normally these racks are filled with hotdog and hamburger buns, as well as a variety of sandwich and dinner rolls. All gone. Unbelievably, there are still a few boxes of Ring Dings and mini-muffins left. I figured those would be the first to go.

Likewise, the bread rack. On the way out of the store, the guy that checks receipts said something about a few of the bread delivery guys didn't even show up today. Not sure what to make of that. Is there no bread to deliver... or are they, like most normal Americans, hording it all, either for themselves or to maybe sell on the black market (...or maybe eBay)?

Here's another sign that was posted in several places throughout the store. It's entirely possible that these signs have always been there, but I don't remember seeing them before. Maybe my attention is drawn to them because of all the empty shelves. Still, I'm pretty sure that people climbing up the racks will become a growing problem.

Here's some lady(?) at the check-out, throwing a sack of Hershey's Kisses onto the belt along with what appears to be three dozen eggs. Look, I get it. I know this is serious, but for god's sake, can we please face possible death with a little bit of dignity? At least put back the chocolate.

Here's a sign from store #2. Note the highlighted limit of only three items each. Also note the un-highlighted comical line at the bottom about considering your neighbors.

This is the aisle where the above sign was posted... another empty toilet paper aisle.
