[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d like to point out that people probably aren’t hoarding. Grocery stores watch inventory carefully and try to balance sales per day and inventory. An upcoming storm screws this up because all the sales are compressed into a few days rather than spread out over a week. As people assume that they will not be going out to dinner or lunch, the per customer purchase increases to accommodate for this. Stores that can quickly pivot and increase inventory will be stocked, ones that can’t won’t. [/quote] I agree. I see people with full carts every time I go shopping. Sometimes we go to Costco and families have two carts. No storm predicted! There was a point in my life that I didn’t have a car. Once a month, I’d go to the grocery store and get an Uber home. I’d spend $500 or more and the Uber would be $9-10. It happened that once my regular shop coincided with the 2009 storm. I wasn’t panic shopping or hoarding, but I guess people assumed I was.
