We went up to ShopRite in Glen Cove after supper to get a few things. Some soda, some cat food, some tea, BBQ sauce, and all purpose flour. Walking in the front door we were stunned to see this. This first photograph is the aisle that had pasta - completely empty. The picture below is the aisle that had towel paper and cleaning products. I don't get it. There is no hurricane coming. What is this need for being selfish and hoarding? What's really crazy is that the system works, week after week, year after year - the stores are always stocked with all the things that we all need. The products are always there. And now because of selfishness and craziness and greed, not everyone can get what they need. It makes me so sad. Kathy said it best: "The system works if everyone takes their share."

Very sad the hoarding that is going on. I think of the brothers that now have 17,000 bottles of hand sanitizer they bought to sell at a profit and now have been shut down by Amazon and E-bay. I know they are now donating it to a church, etc., but a little to greedy.

I experienced a similar scene when I went to my local Aldi to pick up a few items. The meat section was empty, no regular milk, no paper products...It all seemed so crazy. It's not like we can't go grocery shopping again! Hopefully, people will stop panicking and get back to regular grocery shopping. betsey
