Food Limits and Empty Shelves

Description

Photos from my trip to two grocery stores on Friday. Title basically says it all. Even as far away as we are people are worried and have been stocking up a bit. Some shelves are empty because food is being diverted to up north, which I think is just fine. Other kinds of food have store-imposed buying limits, which isn't a bad idea but I wonder if those signs don't worry people and cause them to buy more. No limits on my Western staples of cereal, granola and pasta so I'm fine. Bought a 10k bag of rice last Wednesday before the quake just because we were out.

Toilet paper flew off the shelves - I heard from someone that during the last big disaster (Kobe earthquake maybe) the was a shortage of toilet paper so maybe that's why people ran for it this time. Again we bought some last Wednesday but now I'm thinking WHY DID I SEND MY FRIENDS THAT HELLO KITTY TP! Ha ha~

Top Left: Curry and rice toppings, 5 and 10 item limits (Noo! Not my curry)
Bottom Left: Empty Rice Shelf (Jeanne is ok)
Top Right: Earthquake explanation
Middle Right: Limit of 6 bottles of mineral water per customer (filled up empty bottles just in case)
Bottom Right: Various refrigerated products for recipes (Never buy this stuff don't ask me ^^; )

Quality turned out terrible; I miss having photoshop.
