SF Bay Area updates...
Gas now $2.57 a gallon... I have paid as much as $4.50 here in the past
Eggs are simply out of stock and those with are rationing.
Toilet Paper and paper products in general are out of stock and when available often sold by the roll.
Canned good shelfs like Soup are empty
Wipes and such not on the shelf
Baked goods also sparse
That said there is plenty of milk and dairy and frozen items and fresh fruit...
In new developments it has been determined reusing or customers bringing in their own shopping bags to be a vector... so after tremendous social pressure to be green and Statewide measures to enforce it turns out to be a problem exactly has epidemiologists had predicted.
The store I shop people have been most courteous staff and shoppers but there are always exceptions... shoppers were queued for check out this morning at 6:15 am and a street person starts dumping things and a filthy canvas tote on top of my check out items and in front of other waiting... two clerks told him as nice as can be to follow the rules and he started giving them an attitude saying his money was as good as anyone's
On a positive side the local beat officer checked in with me this morning and we both noticed crime, litter, etc. to be down a lot... instead of the typical three 15 gallon totes of trash collected each morning it is less than half of one tote.
