> There'd need to be an apocalypse before we had trouble stocking grocery shelves over any sustained period of time I live in Chicago, which is one of the major nodes of the US food distribution network. I'd seen lots of photos of empty store shelves on Friday night as panic-buying set in. I went to my local grocery store on Saturday morning and the shelves were full of everything but toilet paper. Workers were constantly bringing pallets of food out to restock as people were buying tons of food. Nobody was panicking, everyone was polite; I think the overwhelming availability of food was a calming effect. Costco and Aldi manage their own distribution networks and may not be seeing the benefit of the hundreds of independent distributors that have this under control. I'd like to hear about experiences in Houston - that's another huge node. My guess is that things are fine there too.
