But if it was, would they allow a limited number in the store at one time to keep the much needed social distancing in place?

Honestly, this is the first time I have been in that store since early January, if memory serves. As such I haven't been there on a Saturday morning for instance, to see how they would handle a large crowd.

I can't imagine that they would have any protocols different than the corporate directives.

And yes, he was someone his manager should be proud to have on staff.

You mentioned the bread section being "nearly wiped out." Silver Gaia Mar 2020 #10

I think it's being hoarded like Toilet Paper, frankly. A HERETIC I AM Mar 2020 #11

I would think that, too, but bread is a perishable item. Silver Gaia Mar 2020 #17

The same with eggs. SergeStorms Mar 2020 #22

Eggs last longer than you may think shanti Mar 2020 #26

In many countries eggs aren't refrigerated. central scrutinizer Mar 2020 #28

In those countries they aren't washed prior to sale dhol82 Mar 2020 #49

Google "preserving eggs with mineral oil". You can then keep them in the fridge for up to a year.nt zackymilly Mar 2020 #38

Eggs can last a year and you can freeze them (best to scramble and freeze or crack an freeze) n/t. airplaneman Mar 2020 #44

A way to improve your bread machine bread - bake it in the oven! csziggy Mar 2020 #92

I used to do that with my bread machine. After it broke I bought a Bosch stand mixer Luciferous Mar 2020 #99

I went to a stand mixer when I found a vintage Kitchen Aid on Craigs List csziggy Mar 2020 #100

A lot of times you can find barely used bread machines for little money at the thrift store Luciferous Mar 2020 #101
