Applebees Appetizer posted:Yep, hopefully it goes better here than in Italy, it's a shitshow over there. Even if everything suddenly went back to normal tomorrow, it's going to be 2+ months before grocery stores get back to their normal supply levels. They know they can't dump everything on us in one night; we have to work our normal daily replenishment (which right now is a SHITLOAD; I've pulled two 12 hour days back to back, though one was a bit of time helping frontend with bagging and cart bitch). We have to work with our daily shipments and also work in what we haven't been getting, a pallet or fifty at a time. Otherwise, at least at my store, we'd have to wind up closing the store for close to at least 2 weeks for 24/7 stocking. The only upside at the moment is it's flushing out stock that hasn't been rotated. My employer just dropped a bomb on us too. A couple of days ago they announced all stores in the Houston market would be open 8a-8p - those of us who knew about it figured we'd get it next week. They dropped that company-wide this morning. I sent my boss a text about it asking how my schedule would be affected and let him know I was available for whatever so long as I got at least a day's notice, he said he only found out last night and won't know how it'll affect us for another day. Deli is shutting down completely except to do prepackaged stuff, bakery is doing the very basics, on-site restaurants (which are fully store-owned) are shutting down 100%, pharmacies are open 8a-8p. Everyone affected by any possible hour cuts will be bagging, chasing carts, or getting trained to cashier. I wound up bagging and chasing carts for almost 2 hours after the end of my shift today (voluntarily; I saw how hosed they were and asked frontend if they needed help, and told them up front I was already past the tip on OT, they said they didn't care and clocked me in under their dept ID, so I'll be (possibly NWS just bc of phrasing) "so deep the sack disappeared" in OT a few minutes after clocking in tonight.

 Most of the bread we carry is store-brand. Anything that's not is stocked by vendor reps. Our Bimbo rep (Mrs Bairds along with like 10 other companies) looked like he'd been through a warzone this morning. He owns the route itself as an IC, but the warehouse didn't give him poo poo to replenish anything, so he was having to hand out like... 30 loaves of bread (between the ~10 companies he represents) when we have shelf space for 50+ for ONE brand. Just to make sure he could at least give every store SOMETHING. Frozen?   Produce?  Meat? Holy loving - the only substantial thing left was Beyond Meat. And not much of that. The meat service counter is officially closed for the near future - what you see on the shelf is what you get, period. Just what comes in already wrapped. Canned goods:  Bakery is closed until further notice except for baking popular items every morning (no special orders, no counter service). Deli is only doing prepackaged stuff. Everyone is getting shifted to either stocking or frontend, and our 6am-midnight hours got cut back to 8a-8p as of today. They sent a mass text message to all employees asking anyone who can work in stores to please do so. MomJeans420 posted:That's pretty much what the grocery stores are like around here right now. Except for the ones that closed for a complete lack of food That's why we're changing our hours - there's nothing substantial left after about 6-7pm. We don't even have the cheaper dog foods at this point (we still have Blue Buffalo and Nutro, that's... it... even the drat-good-for-the-money grain free store brand we sell is gone). I was picking up even more OT on frontend chasing carts and bagging, and was gonna ask them about training to cashier. I'm not allergic to 60-80 hour weeks, so long as I get one solid day off a week. The hour change is gonna gently caress that over, but it means less stress for us overnighters to finish early.

I've been surprised no one seems to be stockpiling dog food in our area, I figured I should get a few extra bags to get ahead of everything and the pet store was empty.

Darchangel posted:Nah, almost every alarm uses a relay for starter interrupt. So the actual wire form the alarm is like 18 ga. Point still stands to some extent, though, since there will be a relay with a pair of 10-12 ga. wires on it going into the car’s harness. I like to hide mine when I do an install, make stuff un-obvious, but that depends on quality of install, of course. Mine had the relay internal. Zoom to enhance:  The two short black wires to the white connector were the starter interrupt on mine.  You can see the other ends (with the harness still plugged in) spliced in with the big yellow butt connectors, to the yellow starter wire.

If recovery doesn't confer immunity with this one, I'm honestly not sure I want to stay on this planet because a cold that just goes around and around and around killing 1-20% of the people it infects, forever, sounds like a mighty depressing life.

My area has toilet paper but is out of spam. I wanted spam in my eggs god damnit. We have a flour mill, a bucket of white winter wheat, goats in milk, a cream separator, ducks that should lay any day now, green coffee beans and a roaster, a closet full of honey from my own hives and the pastures are starting to green up. Morels should be available any day now. I could have some kick rear end breakfasts except for the lack of bacon or spam or steak or sausage. tetrapyloctomy posted:It's not certain that infection confers immunity. There have been some cases that may represent re-infection, or possibly the presence of multiple strains. Your a doctor, correct? I had that thought earlier. This isn’t the only Coronavirus that circulates through humans. Most of them just cause colds and immunity only lasts months. Is that generally true?

Entire Ops staff been told WFH effective now for the forseeable future. Not real happy with that personally. But then again I was considering calling because I wasnt feeling 100% - Someone decided they had to come into work two weeks ago even when they were clearly flued up and of course I got that. Nothing bad in my case but still...... Maybe I can line up for toilet paper tomorrow morning because I'm just about out -_-

A friend of my mother in his early 50s was feeling completely normal, then suddenly passed out while on the stairs, fell and smashed his face up, broke his nose, cheekbones and jaw. Got to hospital and he's got the virus. And they can't do too much corrective surgery on him because they're afraid it will weaken him enough for the virus to kill him  What a novel and lovely way for it to get you

I must live in a pretty middle-class area because the shops have bread but they're out of bread flour. The DIY store is also out of food seeds so I guess people are planning ahead a little :haw If they make me work from home (can't see it happening) or just shut the plant I'm going to get so much DIY & gardening done, the only thing I might need and don't have is cement, can't see the being a rush on that unless the trend becomes making your own Anderson shelter.
