Panic spreading faster than coronavirus in Rawlins
Stores in Rawlins were hit hard, and abruptly, by area residents stocking up on cleaning supplies, disinfectants, hand sanitizer and, for some reason, toilet paper.
Over at City Market, employees are limiting the purchase of these items as they work to restock some of their shelves Wednesday morning.
One worker told Bigfoot 99 it was business as usual over the weekend, but then “something changed, and everyone came in and bought everything.”
As a result of the panic-purchasing, City Market is restricting the purchase of all sanitizing, cold and flu products to five items per customer.
At Walmart, toilet paper shelves remain barren.
