Has Lafayette never seen snow before? I ran out of milk yesterday so I stopped by Payless on my way home. The parking lot was packed, and there were no carts. There was a cart blocking parking spot in the lot so I lucked out, dodged it and grabbed it for myself. I walked into the store and the shelves were empty, no ground meat existed in the store, no regular bread (payless white or wheat), shelves were bare everywhere. When I went to get a loaf of bread I left my cart unattended and some lady walked off with it. Oh well I guess. I got down to the milk fridges, and its a good thing I drink Vitamin D; Milk shelves were empty except good Ole Vitamin D. I got to the checkouts which were packed but ended up fun, joking with all the people I was standing in line with; among them people who agreed with me that this snow was not all that big of a deal. They ended up opening the customer service registers as a checkout, and those of us with fewer items headed that way.
I made it home after getting what I needed and not hoarding, did not have to steal anything from others, and didn't freak out. All of which made my shopping experience and the Cashier's job a lot easier.
Calm Down Lafayette. It will snow, the roads will turn white, and it will pass.
