The wife found an odd ad for Perkins today. They, like a lot of eating places, are doing "curbside pickup" of meals a person has called in. But, here's the odd twist on things, this Perkins is also offering selling bulk supplies of various meats (not juts pork!!), some processed veggies, and even paper towels and TP!! I wonder if this particular franchisee going down and they're liquidating their stock or at least rotating stuff that will soon "expire"...?

Update. The wife called the number. It appears that there is only 1 Perkins left still open in our metro and they're doing this offer. I think they're moving/rotating stock for probably the other store in the franchise. She going to make some purchases tomorrow...

Subway here was selling lunch meat in pound and a half packages.
Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Makes sense that they woul flip stuff they're not using, to folks that need it. Don't know if I need it but if its a good deal, I'll buy it...

so many people eat out so much that a crazy portion of our food goes directly into commercial packaging and for commercial use
if they can't let people into the store , and they ahve stores without easy to do pickup closed yes sell all the supplies.
think about how many people use the toilet on company time every day and now they are not at work that is still in the supply chain or sitting in a store room.
we are wiping with Gas station type TP the big commercial rolls right now , wife orders this stuff for the co-op gas station , so when the grocery had no TP she ordered us a case of the commercial stuff they use at the gas station. it is not the greatest TP but it works and a roll seems to be lasting around 6 days so with 11 of those left we should be good for 10 weeks
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
