Hannaford To Go "paused" :(


Quote:

News for Hannaford To Go shoppers:

As of Thursday, March 19, we have paused the Hannaford To Go online shopping service temporarily to redirect those associates to restocking store shelves as quickly as possible for all customers. Service will resume at the end of March. This action is one of many difficult decisions being made, amid unprecedented demand for product, to focus associates on replenishing items in our supermarkets as quickly as possible and supporting customers throughout the store in meeting their most-important needs. We will update you here, and by email should there be any changes or if service can be restored earlier.

Have the day off today so I decided to take advantage of the Epping Market Basket " 5:30 to 7:00 am senior shopping hours", hoping that the store was stocked overnight. Got there at 6:15 to find the parking lot full...lines of seniors pushing their carts , but not a roll of tp in the store. Stopped at Walmart and waited for the 7am opening. I made a beeline for the tp shelves only to find them empty as well. As I walked back to the front of the store, I noticed they had cases of paper goods lined up...scored an 18 pack of Angel Soft and a 10 pack of Bounty! First time in recorded history my wife didn't say " why did you buy THAT brand...I hope they were on sale!!" Life is good...

Same situation at the Londonderry Market Basket early this morning. Paper goods gone, and bread shelves nearly empty, but were being restocked as we passed by. Courteous atmosphere prevailed. ❤️

Still no TP around here in Mass that I've found - ridiculous. No... Not out yet... :rolleye2:

joey2665 03-19-2020 08:31 AM

How much toilet paper does everyone need. Average person uses 1 roll per week. It’s insanity. I could understand water, essential food, milk etc but TP 🤦*♂️

I went out for my lottery tickets yesterday. The store wasn't very crowded. It looked normal for pre-dinner shopping.

Remember to keep up with your regular shopping so if you have to quarantine you will still have a stockpile.

Still no TP? Buy some extra wash-cloths. Folks used to wash diapers. Use the hottest water and dry in the hot setting. (Probably more comfortable to use them wet...)

Safeway here in CA..
 
..is looking to hire 2,000 workers to restock shelves.

We are actually using less TP.
When building an addition recently to add a 1st floor master suite bed/bath/open closet area to our 1 bath home, when purchasing new toilets for both new and old baths, I optioned for bidet toilet seats for both. What a great addition to our daily “routines”!
Having experienced a recent surgery that caused difficulty in this “department” I looked ahead to the coming years and thought this would be a good idea.
I had no idea how good these would work...needless to say, the bidet seats are wonderful and everyone that visits and uses the facility says the same...in addition I ordered ADA compliant toilets ( higher than normal seat height) and we love them.
Surprisingly well made and everything included to convert any seat to a bidet seat...$100
If anyone would like the manufacture and supplier, PM me.

.... keeping six feet apart in super market store!
 
What they do in a Danish super market .... good idea? ..... how to keep people six feet away from one another while waiting in check-out line at a grocery store in Denmark ..... http://www.twitter.com/ziyatong/stat...475334/photo/1 ..... stand on floor, circle spots .... like musical chairs, or something!

...... holy smokes ..... 'people spots' ...... seeing this really sends a message!

Thank you to everyone who provided updates on the store situation. Mine:

Tilton Market Basket, March 18, 7:30 pm Not many people in the store. No disinfectant wipes for the carts at the entrance so I advise bringing your own wipes and hand sanitizer. Beef and chicken cases mostly empty. No canned tomatoes, almost no frozen vegetables, zero toilet paper or napkins. Good stock of dairy. I was able to get a full basket of food but not everything I needed.

WOW! Any short term rental (like 10-15 minutes), just to try it out)? :D

Hope this helps
 
While no rubbing alcohol in the area it seems, use Hydrogen Peroxide. Dollar Store had some, per a friend who bought a few bottles yesterday.

Plenty of mouthwash around and it has 41% alcohol. While may not be AS effective, it's better than nothing and easy to find. Plenty in stock at Wal-Mart. And minty fresh hands, to boot!

Paper towels and tissues and napkins seem to be available at most places and a good backup. Of course, don't flush - after use keep them in a plastic grocery bag and toss in garbage when full. My in-laws have done this for years as they continue to nurse their septic system.

Gilford Wal-Mart restocked the baby/personal wipes (3-packs) as of yesterday.

Oh, and our oldest was here from Portland early this week and we told her to NOT FLUSH ANYTHING OTHER THAN TP. Wouldn't that be interesting if everyone in the city flushed what they shouldn't flush (napkins, paper towels, tissues) and a huge backup resulted? Thankfully she is on the 3rd floor...

Someone who is a plumber needs to do a post on this. Really important mention about this on TV last evening.

Not a short term rental. Look at it as a pay toilet, like in the good old days. Out on a date, and she says "I need to use the bathroom, have you got a dime? " "Nope , duck under or climb over! "

Plenty at the hardware store. You have to dilute it yourself.

Isopropyl is isopropyl.

Funny how there has been this incredible run on toilet paper, but no mention of tools used to hide the evidence.

I have been a bit obsessed with the whole situation, but I honestly don’t see the problem. I can see face masks, but why toilet paper?

There are many substitutes for things that are currently out of stock...nobody HAS to buy bottled water, we can get that out of our taps. Nobody HAS to eat pasta...plenty of other foods to eat. Toilet paper is a different situation...hoarders who are buying it up are causing us non-hoarders to go on these scavenger hunts. I could easily get by on a roll per week, but that doesn't go for the rest of the house, so we have to "s*** or get off the pot" and make these early morning runs to ensure our families have what they need. It'll pass, but for now you have to play the game...

One must be sure that the TC (toilet critter) is not a porcupine.

Newbiesaukee 03-20-2020 02:36 PM

At Heaths around 11:30 am today. Not particularly busy, well stocked (except for TP) and short checkout lines. No wipes for the carts. Not bad at all.

How do you keep 6 feet away from the cashiers? Self check out maybe if available but I usually have one item that does not work. To say nothing of the cashiers who have no control over their own safety. Masks on the cashiers might protect the clients to some extent...less helpful for cashiers themselves.

Have not used elder hours even though I could.

This is a real question, not a criticism of anyone; it does seem high risk for the cashiers.
