Growing up on the East coast, whenever the weatherman warned of a nor’easter sweeping through, shelves at grocery stores were quickly stripped by consumers prepping to hole up for the weekend.
Now that I live in Southern California, I no longer have to worry about several feet of snow getting dumped on my block overnight. What I have found this week is that when heavy storm systems bring rain to the region, consumers act much the same here. I swung by a Von’s mid-afternoon today and found the shelves bare for much of the produce staples (bananas, anyone?) and bakery items. Seems like rain brings out the nesting tendency is SoCal residents.
