You better eat your Wheaties! Yesterday around 4:30 early evening I went to Walmart in Collinsville and I can honestly say, I have never witnessed anything like it before.
It was as crowded as Christmas, times 50. By the time I left the store there wasn't a shopping cart left. I over heard a conversation between a couple of employees about how a fight broke out over the last shopping cart.
The check out lanes were lined up so deep, that the end of some of the lines were back as far as actually being in the clothing department.
It was absolutely nuts! We usually do our grocery shopping on a Friday or Saturday night, but much later in the evening. At the time we left for the store I heard we may get some snow, but I had no idea they were calling for such a storm.
People are out and about not in the best of moods, pushing and shoving and all manners and common courtesy are non existent.
