My store is going to send 10 people to Louisiana tomorrow morning. This afternoon, I got the store's credit card, the store's Sam's Club card and the store's truck and just went apeshit. Six thousand pounds of food in number-10 cans. You name it and we've got it, from protein foods to fruits and veggies, and lots of cans of juices. We also found some crackers in storage tins and bought those too. I had to make two trips to haul it all. (We're sending ten people down for two weeks, at which time our guys will be relieved.)
One of our number wanted to know if we were going to set up a food distribution point, or a mess hall or something, for the residents. I thought for a moment about all the shit FEMA's doing with stopping relief and decided that we should not attempt to provide relief to the locals immediately because with our luck, Bush's stormtroopers would shut down our operation and march my guys out of the region.
Here's the plan: if FEMA quits acting like a bunch of assholes, we set up a chow line next to the drywall department. If FEMA continues in its current mode, we send someone out to find someone who's passing out food and who ISN'T affiliated with Halliburton or FEMA, we feed only our own people until it's time for us to leave, and then we hang onto six cans each of protein, crackers, fruit, vegetables and juice (so we'll have something for our folks to eat on the way back to NC) and give everything we've got left to that organization.
Who wants to bet that the Food Bank of Southern Louisiana or someone else like that is going to be inundated with number-10 cans?
