Yes. There are no monitors left in best buy today. I saw a lady walking out with probably 10-15 eight packs of TP at a grocery store She left 2. There were zero onions and no potatoes. There was no orange juice except on the top shelf. Lots of Mexicans shop at the grocery store so I don't think they could see them cause they were at the back. Some guy had 6 cases of Budweiser... Kinda looked like this was his second time through the line. Saw someone with what appeared to be several pounds of dry beans and some canned and prolly 10lbs of rice. I didn't see that she had sausage but there may not have been any. I bought 5 lbs last week. Saw this coming from a mile.

I watched two women argue over a spot in line. Both had literally one item a piece. I think both of them just had bloodlust

I saw a lady at Publix with at least 10 loaves of bread and the rest of the cart was soft drinks.

Nearby Walmart Neighborhood Market, parking lot NEVER even half full, tonight at 7 there wasn't a parking space to be had. I didn't even try to go in.

I was in line at a local grocery store today and the lady customer in front of me bought at least 50 canned vegetables and paid for them with a credit card.

That’s all I got.

This, it’s going to suck when the normal stuff I buy every week is gone because some retard thinks they need 15 gallons of milk at once. If everyone would just buy what they normally would buy, it wouldn’t be an issue

The panic buying will cease in the coming days. Those who panic buy can not afford to continue buying out the store every day, and those who have some sense will realize new stock arrives every day and there is no sense in hoarding.
