Geez, who doesn't carry a knife?At the height of the Ammo Famine, when the very first supply began dribbling into the stores, I was at Spurtsman's Whorehouse when a pallet jack brought a pallet onto the sales floor (stacked about 4 feet high, and shrink-wrapped).
About 5 or 6 customers saw it when I did, and being a handloader with good reserves, I was able to politely observe (struggling to maintain composure) when the pallet (and attached employee) got rushed.
Two analogies come to mind for what I saw:
Alerting a scattered flock of chickens that it's feeding time, and...
The time-worn comedy skit or cartoon (and reality) of female behavior at a fashion store closeout sale.
One guy close to my age started arguing with the employee that he needed to cut the shrink wrap immediately away from his caliber that was halfway down in the stack, so he could "be on my way".
