I just got an email message from Publix (grocery chain serving Florida). They are reserving the hours between 7 and 9AM for seniors to shop.

10,000,000 seniors in two hours - store empty rest of day.
Same here with Giant Eagle.  I didn't notice any correlation between age and hoarding.

I think he's just saying there are so many seniors, there won't be anything left. 

Around here grocery stores are doing the same thing, allowing 2 hours before "regular openeing" for seniors." 

But there are long lines to get in though, at any time of say, as the number of people within each store at any given time, is being regulated.

I haven't been in a few days because I have food and no desire to stand around in line for an hour.

But at this point we're beyond panic buying and hoarding-- this is the consequence of so many people staying at home, eating more meals at home, and not having anywhere else to go.  Also, the shortened store hours are forcing more people into a smaller time window.  I don't see this getting better until the quarantine bans are lifted.

I'm glad at least one person here understands me. :03:


Store here are doing it too. I get it for here. But in Florida?

They should do special hours for non-seniors!!

my usual grocery was open 24 hours in the past, I'd rather go there late or early and avoid crowds

I understand they might be doing deep cleaning while closed, just not sure how much that helps after the first 15 minutes of opening the doors to the mob waiting in line

I'd hope by now that people have enough food in the house to just stay home for a while.

I read somewhere that chest freezers are sold out. 

REALLY?!?!?

Yep. You can't really hoard if you don't have room to put it. 

FYI Costco has apparently been refusing returns on the commonly-hoarded items, and I've heard the big box stores are saying they won't take back chest freezers when this is all said and done, even if it's within their normal return policies.

I will say that's an advantage of being a homebrewer--I have four refrigerators (three of which have freezers). There's the main kitchen fridge, the garage overflow fridge, the fermentation fridge, and the kegerator/beer/wine fridge. The fermentation fridge, when fermenting beer, uses an external relay to keep the fridge temp in the low 60s, so when I'm fermenting I can't use the top freezer. But if there is beer cold crashing or lagering / cold conditioning, then the fridge is running normal temps and it becomes an overflow freezer.

My kegerator is actually a 21 cu ft convertible fridge/freezer, so if I took all the kegs and beer out of it, I could store a a frozen side of beef with room to spare. But I don't plan on doing that, so I don't consider that a "freezer" at all.

We bought a new fridge before this thing all hit (President's Day weekend) but it isn't getting delivered until Monday. It's a nice 26 cu ft french door model with two freezer drawers. But at that point the primary kitchen fridge will go out to the garage and become the overflow fridge, the oldest/smallest garage fridge, which is currently the fermentation fridge, will go away, and the nicer overflow fridge becomes the fermentation fridge.

At least 30 years of age, and not living in Mom's basement?
That would be a good start.

Yeah I actually have 3 refrigerator/freezers right now, plus my chest freezer.  I've always had 2 fridges, one in the main house and one in the garage,  but we just got a new one for the house, and rotated our old house one to the garage.  I was going to get rid of the second garage fridge, but then all this happened, so it remains.  It's completely full of beer so my stock is good for a while.  Especially since I'm not drinking hooch right now.

We just have the one, but it's a big Subzero model, so it's kinda like having 2.

Maybe the lockdown that starts at 5PM today will help curb these numbers. Maybe not.

****************

At least seven people have been shot and wounded in Chicago overnight from Friday to Saturday, authorities said.
The most recent shooting unfolded Saturday morning in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the West Side, according to Chicago police.


Two men were reportedly standing in a front yard about 2:20 a.m. in the 3700 block of West Grand Avenue when gunfire, possibly from a passing vehicle, struck them, police said.

One man, 33, was wounded multiple times in his body and taken in critical condition to Mount Sinai Hospital. The other man, 21, was shot in the left leg and taken in serious-but-stable condition to the same hospital, police said. Officers were unable to interview witnesses.

No, I was agreeing with him.  There were tons of seniors, and a similar percentage was hoarding as everyone else, so by the time its open to the public, the shelves will be empty

Honestly, aside from meat and bread, it's fine mid-day.  We have enough frozen meat to get by, but it's not great.

Anyone ever done the Omaha Steaks thing?  Are they at least fine?
