Last Saturday night, Russell Asbill and I went to the Gallup, New Mexico Safeway market to pick up some groceries as we were aware that the state will be locked down again starting today.
The store was fairly busy and I was able to get everything on my list (yes, I do make shopping lists). Russell mentioned getting toilet paper and I took a walk over to the toilet paper aisle to take a peek and, lo and behold, the shelves were barren, even though there were signs telling shoppers that they are limited to one package per shopper. That didn't seem to do any good.
Lucky for me, I bought a package about a week ago, so I am okay for a while.
What is wrong with people? They should have learned their lesson last spring when the hoarders gobbled up every package. I understand that this is happening again nationwide.
Stupid people never learn!
