Are your local food prices effected

When the markets get forced to close what happens to the produce, fish, chicken, beef does it just rot for 2 weeks, it wouldn't be very nice returning to the market in a couple weeks thats for sure.

I'm in the boonies and my local beer shop just told me from today they're not allowed to sell beer. All this was discussed while I bought a case of Cambodia.

They've always done that. They're really bad at putting prices up. Almost every time I go there, I need to bring items to the cash register just to know the price. The discounted items also often register as the regular price, but they're getting better now. Before, it almost felt like a ploy as they'd ALWAYS scan at the regular price and ALWAYS needed a runner to go check. Huge waste of time. Like, unfuck yourselves. You basically need eagle eyes and have to check the register all the time as they scan every item. TH a bit better in my experience when it comes to that.

I've also counted up to 12 staff in there at times. I mean, they're really nice and polite, but I worked at a supermarket as a teen and two guys stocking shelves back there (in a supermarket 6+X the size) would run circles around them. Same for cashiers.

Boonies is a tad subjective. I would be interested to hear how places outside the major urban areas are dealing with the current situation.
So would you mind going into a little more detail?

Sure. Our local wet market was closed today. I'm 10km from there, and a beer shop on a backroad near home told me beer was off limits, so keep it on the downlow. Money had already changed hands by this point, so I figured the deal was done.

Oh yes, I went to one the other day and the checkout guy was so slow. I don't think they trust the barcodes at all, because he'd scan each item, then look at the screen to make sure it was the right thing. So it took about four times as long than just scanning everything blip blip blip.

The problem is hindsight. When it’s needed, it’s too late to get it. Out in this part of Texas, Hurricanes and other possible disruptions to the power and food chain commonly occur. Subsequently, I tend to stock up little by little. Amazon for freeze dried food and portable stoves, 300 watt power banks, USB lights, fans, etc. grocery store for fresh water. People need a gallon a day to drink, not including bathing, running toilets. Instead of having beer parties, a buying a container of food to be socked away.

Just buy some on the next visit to the US and pack it away in the suitcase.

Good luck to everyone! And try to stay safe!

I suppose when you live in an area like you explain, you would want to have a few supplies in house.
I know some people here we're stocking up on food supplies, but then again the lockdown came with no previous warning. Also the, what you can and can't do are, or were first very unclear, it would even have been more understanding if the authorities had organization and put things in place at the time. I also realise we had been on curfew, but people in my area don't really keep to times of any, life just goes on for some like nothing is happening. Also now I think things are not what you could say are clear, I got in touch with the bank to see if it was open, because talk before said they would be closed. Yes the bank is open, but working on limited services. But the the bank person, told me to wait, because there may be anoncing change again.
