Early signs of a recession 😞

It’s hard not to notice the many empty shelves as I stroll through the grocery store. Feels a bit like the early subtleties of a subdued dystopian movie.

I usually order grocery pick-up, but had to pop in to grab some stuff that I assumed was missing from my order because.. well.. sometimes staff just don’t feel like searching for your item. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Nope..
The disconnect gave me a moment of pause. If I hadn’t topped out of the car I would’ve gone about my evening oblivious to the state of things. Made me think about other buffers we have in place as a society to shield ourselves from day to day awareness that things are not ‘fine’ heh.
