Irene is ensuring that New York retailers are meeting their month-end quotas by gracing us with her presence this weekend. I ran a few errands after work and couldn't believe the lines! First I waited 25 minutes in a line at the drugstore where people were stocking up on water, first aid kits, and snacks and then stopped by my grocery store to pick up a few items for dinner and waited a whopping 30 minutes in line (the 10 items or less line no less). As packed as that grocery store gets, I've never waited more than 5 minutes in line! Both stores were more packed than I'd ever seen them and people are definitely heeding the city/media's advice to get prepared.
Hoping that Irene decides to change her plans for the weekend!
there was a line to get into whole foods!
