Can we please give a hand to the private sector and capitalism.

Under some pretty shitty conditions my local Safeway, Whole Foods and Costco have been doing a hell of job keeping their stores open and stocked. Whole Foods and Safeway's home deliver is now moving back closer to normal instead of the 5 day window that it was last week.

I was at Costco yesterday and but for the paper products, toilet paper and paper towels they were fully stocked and open for business. Costco just announced a $2.00 an hour raise for any employee that works the duration from the beginning of March to the middle of April.

3M is now working round the clock and churning out millions of the 95 masks. Hell I just had to call a plumber to come out and do some work at my house and the guy showed up in less than a fucking hour.

America and capitalism fuck yeah!!!

Can you imagine if the government was in charge of keeping the stores open and stocked.

    I'll be checking in on Joe Albertson tomorrow. The last two weeks the people at our store have been awesome. I've even been nice to them and help bag. You can tell they were frazzled so I had friendly words of encouragement.

    In real life I can be a nice guy. Honest

    Morale at the Safeway has been pretty bad and their employees are rightfully scared but they still did their jobs and it's not as if the guys stocking the shelves are making big dough.

    People want to work. We are trying to get back to work since we service a vital sector that needs vital carpet and paint but there are too many moving parts and vendors so far to get everyone to agree to show up. Nobody wants to force anyone which is fine with me. I have serious liability concerns at the moment since they are trying to make the GC responsible to sanitize every night.

    I suspect it may not be as easy to restart the engine as hoped

    But seriously we'd be fucked without them.

    I helped bag my own groceries last Sunday. The poor checkers seem pretty beat to shit right now.

    I'm helping!!

    Saw an article this morning. Truckers are working harder and longer than ever and are dealing with a lack of greasy spoon eateries that are open

    No word on the truck stop blow jobs

    We need our truckers!

    How you doing on flooring supplies? Product getting shipped?

    Just bought some Mohawk product yesterday. Haven't heard the expected ETA but hoping within the next 3 weeks.

    Nothing new in the pipeline at the moment

    Not dialed in to flooring anymore. That's the subs problem now
