Weird. We live <1/4 mile from a WF. Houston was completely normal, basically no panic buying until Thu night (local schools announced 2 week closure Thu night), then all hell broke loose. We were in Whole Foods Thu evening. It was low on stock, and out of any ground meat except 3# of ground veal and some breakfast sausage, but otherwise they had a little bit over everything. We were there yesterday (for just a couple of items) and they had at least a little bit of everything (more than Thu night). Today the missus got a yen for something that we didn't have in the house. I told her I'd go see if they had it. She thought of about half a dozen things to pick up. I was able to get everything. They did only have 3 bags of rice. I grabbed one and another guy grabbed one right before me, so when I left they only had one left.

Still, they are doing really well as far as not running completely out of things. I think it's because of where we are. I think we have an Amazon warehouse in Houston, and there are 10 WF in Houston (including one "Whole Foods 365"), so I suspect we've got a warehouse in the area ready to restock the 10 local stores.
