Yeah, the local supermarket is restricting customers to one per aisle so they are queuing up for hours outside just to get in.Smitty-48 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 7:34 pmIt's the opposite here, all the restaurants are closed, not that many people are ordering outMontegriffo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 7:27 pmThe last food shopping I did was in a big farm shop on the way back from taking steaks to my mate in the dunes a couple of weeks ago.Smitty-48 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 13, 2020 7:11 pm
We have more than enough seeds to plant the planters we are planting
The Russians next door are the bigger planters
But frankly, I'm already doing business with the Amish farmer down the road
He has a lot of food to sell, there's actually a glut of food on the market, so he's been selling to me cheap
The shop was almost empty and the shelves were full.
I'm not interested in queuing to get into the local supermarket, I can live off lentils and what else I have left for at least a couple of weeks.
I was lucky to have a fair bit of dried goods left over in my catering wagon from the last movie I worked on so I'm not desperate enough to face the bug yet.
So there is a huge surplus of food, there's more food than they can move through the grocery stores
Mrs Smitty doesn't want to line up with the radioactive zombies
So we go to alternate sources, the Amish farmers down the road,
who are not effected by the bug, but who want to sell their surplus food stores
The Supermarkets are full, but they still can't move enough of the surplus because the bread lines
Fuck that noise, I'd rather eat rabbit and nettle stew than go through that and still risk the bug.
I'm not very British about queuing, I'd rather go without than queue.
