They'll get a lot of sales because of people over reacting to the virus.

Sell while the gittins' good. Panic is starting and sellers know when to take advantage of it. Better than sending everyone all around the store ... set it where they can get it.

Everyone is cashing in on the ignorance, misinformation and foolishness circulating around. Do people ever ask themselves "if it was EASY as that, would we be in the situation we are in?"

Good for them! I think it makes perfect business sense.If people "feel" safer, they are more inclined to shop there. I think it's great that they are addressing the concerns of an increasingly worried public.

I always carry hand sanitizer and disposable packs of antiseptic wipes in my handbag to use when needed, and I feel that suffices, but I have a friend that has stopped shopping in stores altogether, and that's sad, but I completely understand the basis of her fear.

We will soon have a shortage of products because people are in a panick and are causing the shortage. Nothing new.

I snagged the last bottle of hand sanitizer at my grocery store.

And...whispering...a bag of Cadbury's mini eggs.

I have seen wipes and other cleaning stuff at the front of every store I have been in...except Walmart that isn’t smart enough....they do have Purell wipes to clean the handles of your shopping cart, though.

So, the sanitizer is to get rid of the evidence of the eggs @tansy ? Hmmm..... LOL

It’s good to see people making an effort, anyway....because it is still flu season, and the flu has already killed far more than the coronavirus

Re: Lowes

lovesrecess — Fri, 28 Feb 2020 21:43:28 GMT

I wonder how much they have jacked up the prices on cleaning supplies?

People are going to be very surprised when they learn hand sanitizer and many disinfectants are ineffective against the coronavirus.

They're just going to strike while the iron is hot. It's good business sense to make as much profit as possible, when the economy is facing uncertainty.

Besides, they know that if they don't sell these coveted items, others will. And, these items will give some people peace of mind. It can be a win-win situation.

I DO object, when I see retailers selling emergency type of items, at jacked-up cost. Now that IS taking advantage and needs to be prohibited.

I thought you were going to say the bulbs for planting were there. Our local news is telling everyone paper goods are going to be in a shortage. Empty shelves ahead for us all.

Did you ever walk into Lowes or Home Depot when snow is predicted? Shovels and salt as soon as you walk in.
