I will admit, I was one of the people railing against "hoarders" based on some of the imagery I was seeing (and in-person examples - like one person loading their cart with dozens of bottles of ketchup). I'm also happy to admit that I was wrong if it really is a matter of lots of people just buying a little more than they used to and that's what's causing some of the in-store shortages. Based on the article that seems to be the case, so I'll say it now: I was wrong. > there is a good chance that if the small percentage of crazy buyers does not increase and the majority of shoppers who have been stocking up, go back towards a replenishment of their higher stocks, we should see the problem gradually subside in the coming days and weeks I'm really hoping that's the case. I've been monitoring a few items online to see whether they're gradually coming back or not. We're pretty well stocked on some staples and other things, but the kid in me who grew up poor in a large family still has some anxiety about the whole food situation.
