    I watched that video of the Costco that's near Washington/Canada border. I saw a tons of Indians buying up the milk like mad. As being half Indo I just facepalm and say "Why stereotyping guys?" The locals were pissed that the guys from Canada keep coming down for the cheaper prices.

    And let's not forget the competitor to the Kroger-owned Loaf 'n' Jug gas stations, Kum and Go, aka ejaculate and evacuate.

    Ya but that video is from years ago - that's just an average day. Now add the Corv-19 !

    I'm told now there may be a milk store somewhere near the boarder. They're probably not thrilled for the closure. And the Canadian stores are happy that they have to buy milk from them now.

    Why Starsucks still be able to sell shitty overpriced coffee? Not like Howard Schultz used to live in the same housing projects I did in Brooklyn (P.S.: He did).

    The ones around here are doing takeaway only - no sitting around using the wifi and breathing over each other.

    "Coffee: we drink it or we get angry." - SBAF

    Completely agree though - I don't see why Starbucks is open right now - it's not like there aren't other ways to get coffee.

    Closures here seem to have been happening stepwise as the rates of positive tests increase - numbers restrictions, smaller numbers, then takeout only (restaurants too), then full closure; and at different times in different jurisdictions. I imagine you'll see the things happening the same way there unless the rates level off soon.

    It was weird yesterday walking in to a grocery store that had minimal dairy, minimal meat, no paper products and all the cakes and donuts in the bakery section were stocked full.

    Same. I found that the "Cleaning Isle" had a good amount of disinfectant spray.

    Also, the frozen food isle only had pineapple pizza left. :D

    G'damn Chinese virus. Seriously, these fricking rich Chinese need to stop killing rhinos, elephants, and eating bats, anteaters, and cat civets. People who so rich, coming off of communism, with nothing else better to do so they end up with these odd perversions. Make all other ethnic Chinese and Asian people look bad.

    For all we know, there are industries in Wuhan that do Nick Nolte Incredible Hulk virus research. And heck, China may have just accidentally pulled off a Ernest Blofeld On Her Majesty's Secret Service biological warfare against Italy.

    China is a bad international player intentionally and unintentionally.

    Chinese virus, Wuhan virus, SARS 2.0 for me. This stuff doesn't come from much where else in the world. Call it for what it is. The COVID19 moniker nonsense came from the WHO, which was run by a Hong Konger Chinese Communist sellout for 10 years. She had ten years to stack it with minions funded by the Chinese commies. The WHO is seriously doing weirdo stuff like promoting TCM, Traditional Chinese Medicine, getting it recognized and integrated with evidence based medicine. I have no problem with alternative medicine, but it has no place in public policy.
