This is one of the reasons I prepare, I don't want to have to be in a situation like this. Just imagine the chaos, attitudes, arguments
that go along with this.

Glad I stock up on my "boxed cookies". Hypoglycemic customers would not be pretty. At least the lights are still on...that's a good sign right?

Is that photo taken after a natural disaster, or after a one-day Christmas sale?

Where/when was this?

I see the left the salad dressing behind, at least I think that is what the bottles at the front of the aisle on the right are.

No, not on the endcap, one aisle over and towards the other end of the shot. :P

I'd be much more devastated if I saw this kind of an aftermath at my local store, even more so than seeing people loot there beforehand. Almost all the workers at the store I shop at know me, some on a first name basis (small town). So it would be hard to see my local "breadbasket" like this, taking in the possibility that the clerks I meet at the store all the time would be out of work for a while.

Where is that picture from, Shadow? Is that something from Katrina?

It looks like someone had a bad case of the munchies in the snack center. I bet you the rest of the store is in perfect condition.

I'm in Tulsa, OK and while I didn't see anything quite that bad recently from what I heard it was still ugly. I'd only had to go to the store once though to pick up some wrapping paper.

I did find it interesting to see what people were stocking up on. Mainly chips and beer from what it looked like

Some minimal pre-planning and a tendency to cook from scratch kept us fed and eating about like we always do.

That looks like our local grocery store when they say we might get some snow. Can't buy a loaf of bread, quart of milk or a roll of TP to save your life. I generally just stay home when they forecast any snow around here. They can't drive in it and panic when they have to.
