Storms and Grocery Stores
Somewhere in the evolutionary process or - if you prefer - the whisk of a magic wand by the sky fairy version, we all got somewhat coded to freak out when a snow storm is forecasted. Get a good 3-5 inch snow forecast and the grocery stores will be invaded by a giant swarm of people buying milk, bread and eggs ... apparently just the thought of snow beckons people to make French Toast. They also shop fast as if the thought of 4 inches of snow will entirely stop the economic engine of getting supplies to grocery stores - so they grab shit quickly or else forever be without Orange Juice and Cheese . You drift into a grocery store on a normal day and there will always be a clog of people wondering around the store - they leave their cart on the other side of the aisle from whatever they're looking at (leaving the entire aisle blocked as they can't fathom the logic of putting the cart ahead of them on the same side so others can pass) and stare at the back of box of Bisquick either for the secrets of the universe - or simply because they have nothing else better to do. But go in a grocery store the day before a forecasted snow storm and the place is alive with people running around like crack addicts with that glazed look in their eyes seemingly saying - "Where's the baked beans? I gotta get those cocksuckers before the storm hits" ... think back to the worst snow storm since ... oh let's say 1990 - I'm pretty sure Domino's delivered me a pizza that day. JFC people, calm the hell down. And while we're discussing grocery stores, I have one thing to let you all know:
