Panic buying is rampant now that there is another super typhoon just days after one has devastated the country.

I was supposed to go a nearby supermarket to get some additional provisions on top of what hubby got last night but I changed my mind.

The mom of a student just came there and said people are in a panic to get their hands on the grocery items. Carts and baskets are being waited upon to be emptied at the cashiers’ posts. Hoarding, yes probably, but we can’t blame them.

I am sure barcode scanner technicians are on a standby just in case something wrong happens as the cashiers ring away the times to be bought to avoid any further inconveniences.

I decided to try it out at a small store that we frequent on our way home. No lines to speak of although the items on sale are very limited but I don’t really mind as long as we have the important items we need to survive a typhoon for a day or two.I hope.

As for me, I can only panic without the buying. Heh.
