#3 This person said people are actually bringing suitcases to the mart
A glimpse of what panic-buying in #nyc looks like at #TraderJoes . 😬 thought I’d do my biweekly shop today instead of Sunday (should have come yesterday). some people are bringing actual suitcases into the store, but there aren’t many items left. 😕 pic.twitter.com/FWFL13hlO3

#4 This person said people were buying 4 of everything and their carts were overflowing
Never seen #TraderJoes this busy 15 minutes after opening. People are buying 4 of everything, carts overflowing, pandemonium. #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/TgsCb3RKx5

#5 People have lost their minds!
#TraderJoes in downtown Manhattan, on 6th Ave & Spring St. Ppl have lost their goddamn minds. I’ve never seen anything like this. #Covid_19 #CoronavirusPandemic #panicbuying #apocalypse2020 #NYC #masshysteria #GodHelpUs #coronavirus pic.twitter.com/PUwXQVuqyd

#10 There is something called a pandemic is going on
Overheard at #traderjoes today. Woman: “Why is there a line? There’s never a line at this time?” Worker: “M’am, not sure if you heard, theres something called a #pandemic going on.” 😐 #SocialDistancing

#11 Not sure this is something bringing out the best in people
As soon as the doors opened at Trader Joes in SoHo at 8am. Have never seen anything like this. Not sure this is bringing out the best in ppl. pic.twitter.com/URplG4tRjz

#17 The only 'funny' thing in this situation
When all of the #Covid_19 #CoronavirusPandemic craziness is over, at least #TraderJoes will have some good data on what they should cut from their product line. If it can’t sell during an end of the world semi-panic, it probably doesn’t need to take up shelf space pic.twitter.com/Fadkhtc6LJ

#18 The product that no one wants
I guess #TraderJoes might wanna re-evaluate this product 😄 pic.twitter.com/c0HgW53ToR

#19 A chance for consumers to see which product is not sold
Food stores/brands should take this as an opportunity to see what consumers choose last even preparing for self-quarantine... looking at you hot dogs 👀 #TraderJoes #CoronavirusPandemic pic.twitter.com/EtTGuqIpzb

#20 Only gluten-free white bread left in the aisle
Virtually nothing left but gluten-free white bread at #TraderJoes.

The best part was when the checkout guy asked me if I found everything I wanted. I laughed and he said sorry, that's just a reflex. pic.twitter.com/ElOTo0i6eR
#21 Thankfully people have some sense left in them
Somehow reassuring in the midst of #coronavirus shopping frenzy to know that people still have the sense *not* to buy #chocolatehummus and buffalo hummus. #traderjoes #dc pic.twitter.com/fLvuUFWz3Y
