Me: I bet you've seen a lot of strange purchases as everyone gets impulse buys* and comfort food.
Checker: Exactly.
Me: Does the store have a generator?
Checker: No. We lost power Saturday at [time] and it was out until [time]. Then it went out at around 10 last night and didn't come on until after 3 this morning!
That last outage is the same as my last outage, meaning the problem must've been upstream. By itself it wasn't a huge thing but for me, topping a five powerless day ordeal it was a nasty thing.
* Tim's Cascade Potato Chips - not sure why I bought them. It was like they were a cruise ship captain and my cart was a lifeboat: they just fell in.
I bought spinach, romaine, steak (I'm starved for red meat), Triscuits, milk, sliced toast bread of unremarkable variety, plain German biscuits, yoghurt, gorgonzola, brie... Tim's Cascade Potato Chips...

during our hurricane/floods in august, the local store power went out (along with everyone's) and they just told everyone "free food - come get it - tell everyone"
the fire dept took most of the meat and held a huge community dinner - grilled it all.
then after that the national guard showed up and it was MREs.
