Monday, 21 August the US will have a total solar eclipse across the entire country x- nothing really to be concerned about but one store owner is getting extra stock and will have tucks with dry goods on standby - the news anchor is telling people to stock up on fuel before the time.

Even in situations where there is no real danger if fear sets in and people start stockpiling it can lead to a long-term shortage of goods.

"We'll have to get a bunch of barbecue chips, because these would be the first to go. Not just the barbecue ones. These chips are what people come to get first. Once all those people get here, if they really come, we won't be able to move. We will be where we're at, and that's just the way it is."

Interesting to see where people place their priorities... lol

We only see two things in people, what we want to see and what they want to show us. -Dexter Morgan

It is a wacky story.

Well chips don't need cooking. People buy snacks for short term events/happenings and family reunions or parties. When every thing in the US comes to a standstill during the eclipse... hey can eat chips.
