My wife and I also ventured out into the world to shop yesterday (Sunday). Initial plan was to get to Costco about 30 minutes ahead of opening, get a few things there and then supplement by stopping at a grocery store. The line at Cost stretched almost the entire length of the building we sat in the car for a few minutes then decided to abandon that idea and go straight to the store. We have a choice of at least four different brands Dierbergs and Schnucks (two local chains, Dierbergs being the pricier of the two) and then Aldi and WalMart, with both stupid (sorry Super) Centers and Neighborhood Markets. We picked the Neighborhood market. Likewise, it was probably a bit less crowded than a normal Sunday morning, the shelves were mostly stocked, no bagged potatoes, little pre-shredded cheese, Mac-N-Cheese nearly empty, of course little paper products, but we have plenty of those. Folks were mostly accepting and friendly, upbeat is a great word. The workers were sweeping, cleaning, and spritzing the shelves, plenty of checkers. All in all, not a horrible shopping experience in Missouri.
