How H-E-B is handling panic-buying by shoppers

The grocery chain is shifting its store hours to ensure shelves remain stocked with the essential supplies.

People are not thinking of their fellow man just themselves this is a shame leave some of those like the elderly who are unable to get supplies for their homes.

News media played a big part in panic buying.

I like that the management does this. Coming from an out of state observer. Makes me wanna move to TX all the sooner or once this pandemic ends.

Yeah I'm sure if I go at 8am the whole store will already be packed with hoarders and they will have taken everything by 8:30am or be fighting over it. This is why I have stayed away and will try to do curbside if possible.

If you did not prep weeks back to avoid this madness then it is you that is creating this. To think everyone in those lines think the other is crazy and hoarding when they themselves are the problem. They are all acting like victims when in fact they should be saying “how dumb of me for not thinking ahead”.
It’s sad knowing these parents didn’t think ahead for their own kids and the elderly.

Stop the panic buying, instill limits on amounts

Translation: If you're elderly or handicapped and can't get in line before the rooster crows, you're out of luck.

i work at heb, please understand that we have limited items and it's not our fault

[ricklopez]

Ha so much for that. I got told to stay home because our original $103, 000 truck for Produce got shorted by $70, 000. So theres a lot of product that's going to be missing.

full shelves in the mornings, but empty shelves by night...

[eds_perspective]

The only way to keep items on store shelves is by using surge pricing AKA "price gouging". The idiots in the government won't allow it though cause muh feelings.

[annajeehee]

Heb CEO’s you need to restrict how many stuff can each person buy like target

[masguapoako]

I made a video of an alternative to toilet paper, hopefully it helps from people hoarding them

[jewel]

My neighbor lives alone in our senior high rise . She just unloaded her Lexus full of toilet paper so much so she was dropping and kept having to pick up. My POINT is it is 4am. Where did she get this???

We work with the public because heb follows the 6 foot rule! Heb has people stand in line closer than 6 feet and heb plus shertz had a customer infected in the store that I work at! Shertz texas heb plus! Two cases of Corona virus have been announced by the governor of Guadalupe county. Be safe I think the only way to stay safe is to be alone.

Are they throwing food away yet? It should be a fine...food expires...

[tonytorres]

More than fear stupidity in people acts are going to kill us, even in this circumstances we are mediocres in our social answers.

[juliantorrez]

Just wait until everything goes to normal all prices of goods will be going up because of supply and demand also the cost of production and is because of panic buying WAKE UP PEOPLE
