Coronavirus Causing Local Panic Buying

Ran out of food today minus one small potato, two bananas, and some protein powder. Luckily there are rarely lines at Seven Eleven and they have plenty of alcohol, noodles, chocolate, chips and condoms...basically everything one needs in life. Nevas Pizza in Valencia is decent as well.

I wish someone would start a service in the area where you give them your grocery list or other shopping lists, they would go buy it and then deliver it to your door. I used a similar service once called "Wife" but that was quite expensive, there were a lot of strings attached and it was impossible to keep my personal information safeguarded from the service provider. Luckily I was able to cancel my membership to that one (and it had one hell of a cancellation fee). While it did have a few addition perks and was quite convenient for awhile, I definitely don't plan on being a repeat customer.

 

They only deliver Greenwich to Valencia for some odd reason (no thanks on that one). No businesses currently works with them on their pick-up service for Valencia either. Maybe if I change my location to Dumaguete I can use the pick-up service and order in advance.

 

Panic may come in many forms of behavioral change. Today I was in a business where when you enter you must take a number card......mine was #22. A Lady had the number #21. As she and many waited her 2 (yes 2 ) cell phones kept sounding off and right when number #20 was being served, she bolted from her seat and left the business as some other matter needed her at once. As silly as that seems, she than tossed her #21 card onto a chair while leaving, I LOL'D as around 6 persons went diving onto the seat to get the card to bump them up to the #21 spot. Well HELLO!!!! I was clearly to all of them to have #22 and in fact the next Patron (despite the card ) whom should have been served. When #21 was called, up jumps the Filipina version of Oprah to assume my position. I sat and just laughed. Every single person there looked at me waiting for a reaction to the line jumping but I only smiled. The employee at the counter even knew what had un-folded but just made due ( understandingly ) Guess it all amounted to setting a good example for us Foreigners whom more often get noticed for bad raps..........Cheers!
