Retail Watchers

Wendy's is taking beef off the menu in some restaurants in California, South Carolina, and Kentucky.

McDonald's is limiting some beef, but has not taken all beef off the menu yet.

I tried the app at several nearby locations and they are now totally out of burger patties. There is no beef at all. I only see chicken.

Wendy's is not serving most salads, no wraps, no double or triple patties, and lots of items are out of stock. Why can't you just put another patty on the burger? This is rationing.

The menu has tons of items crossed off. Is salad some kind of coronavirus risk. Do they make the salad in store?

Costco is returning to regular hours and limiting meat to 3 items per person. The limited hours forced everyone to crowd the stores during limited hours. The return to regular hours may relieve the crowding better.

I used to shun allergy medications, but I have found Allegra to be amazing. It is like not even havin...

Whole Foods is giving out free masks to customers. The masks arrive this week. The company strongly believes that masks do prevent the spread of the disease even among those who show no symptoms. If everyone were to wear masks many deaths could be prevented. It baffles me why people don't want to we...

Restaurants need to be flexible. They need to serve first responders and truck drivers. I am sure that they can do a phone order and then an employee could bring it out to the parking lot. In many cases, these restaurants should open the dine in area for take out orders or pick up. They are losing t...

The drug supplier for my pharmacy ran out as soon as the news hit. It was wise to stock up. Unfortunately, those who desperately need it may be out of luck. There are other medications for acid reflux that may work even better and are still in stock. However, if Pepcid is a treatment for COVID 19, p...
