I need to get a few things, but was also curious to evaluate first-hand what we've been reading about for the last week or so, with regards to rice and shortages and limiting purchases.
First thing I noticed was that in the fresh fruit/veggie section, it seemed more sparse than even just one week ago, when I was last there. I don't know if they just rearranged things and so it being different threw me off (I can't stand when they move stuff around!)
Second thing I noticed was that at least two conversations that I overheard while walking by, were about shortages, and the economy and possible explanations.
Third thing I noticed was there was plenty of flour (and most everything else, except bananas).
Fourth thing was that when I was at the checkstand, the woman in front of me was asking the checker about why there wasn't any rice, and when they'd get more. So, the checker, the customer, and a few others started discussing it - the checker said that earlier that day some man tried to buy 3 bags of rice and was denied.
So, that's my first hand report, fwiw.
I always get a little disconcerted when I see things in the real world that correspond to things I read about here in fantasyland, lol.
