Feeling lost?

As a single dude, I'd generally only have food around the house when my daughter was around. I remember passing a packed fish fry on the way to the grocery store that Friday evening. I walked into Kroger, and my mouth dropped... There was nothing! No soup, pasta, ramen, meat, cheese, milk, toilet paper... All gone. I couldn't make sense of that after I'd just passed a completely full parking lot where people were drinking, gambling, and breathing on each other's food. So I remember that anxiety from the other perspective... I remember thinking about not being able to find any of these things for God knows how long, and what it might have to come too.

I remember walking out of the store mumbling and cursing under my breathe about Lord of the Flies time. Thankfully we all settled down... A lil anyway.

I wasn't really worried to much, but it did lower my respect for the human race.  People were acting like it was a nuclear holocaust. We had enough TP at home because its just the wife and I. I was more pissed about meat prices. Wen't to Sav-A-Lot and they were charging $7.99 lb for 73% lean hamburger? I was ready to go Chuck Norris up in that place (not really, I'm a pretty laid back dude). I had an elderly lady ram my cart that day also because I let the lady in front of me run and grab something she forgot. I just turned and looked at her and gave a soft grin. Freakin people were being crazy.

If the stores would have run out of beer tho, I may have panicked, but they didn't, and all was harmony in the universe.
