3. That store was pretty well stocked

considering the situation and that they are a busy store. I called before going because on Monday they had run out of meat and tp. They told me on the phone that they had just received a new meat shipment and a limited supply of tp. They were totally out of fresh potatoes when I got there and had one bag of cooking onions left. Plenty of bread since they have their own bakery.

They were out of isopropyl alcohol so I went to a .Dollar General store next door and found some there. Made me nervous to be there because it was crowded. Saw a woman in line with her teenage son and daughter. Woman had bought some grocery items, but the kids clearly did not need to be there. They were fingering candy and gum displays at the checkout, deciding what they wanted. The girl was eating something in line. I stared at her and she said nothing but her whole body language and facial expression were flippant as if to say "So what?" No need for them to be there. Mother should have kept them in the car.

There is a lot of that defiant, flippant attitude in my community. A store empliyee said that, from the attitudes he is seeing, he expects we will be in lock down before long.
