Zombie Apocolypse
 
As we were doing our Cat Rescue volunteering tonight it occurred to me.

In the event of a zombie apocalypse a PetCo is a far better choice than Walmart to stock up on supplies.

Hear me out.

EVERYONE is going to try and raid the supermarkets.

A brick n mortar pet store is chock full of high protein provisions that have a long shelf life in a variety of flavors.

Plenty of things to make weapons out of, choker chains come to mind.

It'll have an in house Veterinarians office stocked with meds and other first aid supplies.

Hell, if you barricade it and take over you'd even have a built in supply of fish for fresh sushi whenever you wanted.

Honestly the most in demand item will be canning lids. Jars last forever. Lids don't


aren't those that stick around in metro areas die first??

I can do you one better - find out if Amazon has a fulfillment center in your area. Warehouse full of *everything* - clothes, non-perishable food, tools, camping gear, books on every subject, you name it. You could restart civilization from one. Unlike Wal-mart or PetCo they're non-retail, so they're typically just a big anonymous building in a cheap industrial area. Ours is 3 miles away, next to a contractor's building supply place.

Getting to the remote bunker is going to be the biggest problem

Worried About Doomsday? You Can Rent This Bunker for $1000 Per Year

Its rent is cheaper than a New York apartment, and it's fortified against the apocalypse.

To ease the minds of the more affluent among us who share these concerns, Vivos Shelter Networks has transformed a former military fortress in South Dakota into a complex of 575 bunkers, which it is leasing for customers to outfit into luxurious shelters against the end of the world. The company promises: “The Vivos global network of hardened, deep underground, survival shelters is being built to survive virtually all future catastrophes and disasters.”
The pet store, kitty litter in a bucket - instant toilet anywhere.

Does the pet store sell toilet paper?

Toilet paper will trade like gold after the apocalypse.

Relax! You can still loot the local FedEx/UPS facility, which will have all the same stuff. The rule of the Zombie Apocalypse is "Never steal retail."

Living out on a well stocked, prepped farm in nowhereville, I consider Zombies to be the hungry city dwellers who are meandering around with outstretched hands, looking for their next meal/score.

These are the people who have nothing in the cupboards, or in the freezer at home, and after a few days, start looting/assaulting for survival.

Have you ever walpked through the treat aisle? Pig snouts, deer antlers, duck feet, dehydrated beef trachea. Everything you need for a voodoo ritual.

GH85Carrera 10-14-2018 09:00 AM

Uh, you do know zombies are just make believe. They are a impossible thing

The problem with an Amazon fulfillment centre is it'll be the first place the hundreds possibly thousands of people who work the 24/7 shifts will go.

And they will have a leg up on you because they know where everything is.

Yet several of the world's major religions are heavily reliant on them.

Quote:

A zombie (Haitian French: zombi, Haitian Creole: zonbi) is a fictional undead being created through the reanimation of a human corpse. ..................

The English word "zombie" is first recorded in 1819, in a history of Brazil by the poet Robert Southey, in the form of "zombi".[3] The Oxford English Dictionary gives the origin of the word as West African, and compares it to the Kongo words nzambi (god) and zumbi (fetish). A Kimbundu to Portuguese dictionary from 1903 defines the related word nzumbi as soul,[4] while a later Kimbundu-Portuguese dictionary defines it as being a "spirit that is supposed to wander the earth to torment the living."[5]
