Walmart (Shopping for Ezekial Muffins)

 I like Walmart for shelf goods but I hesitate on some perishables. I guess I don't quite trust that the products get put away in a timely manner. 

However I am visiting my family in VA and finding it hard to get my Ezekiel muffins. I decided, since it was frozen bread I could get it from Walmart.
I located it in the case and this is a picture of what I found! 

There were four more on the shelf, three with pieces of ice inside the package. One at the back seemed normal and I bought that one. I began to wonder what is happening. Why wouldn't an employee see it, how did this happen. All kinds of scenarios played through my mind. 

I had also looked for cream cheese my low fat Philadelphia one, none to be found. The kind young man who worked there said November 7 it should be back in stock. 

IT SCARY WHAT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING IN THE STORES.  

Is it lack of employees? A snowball effect? literally :-))

I was talking with another woman shopper in Walmart, wondering if she was thinking the same as me. She said as long as people don't panic we will be okay! I couldn't agree more. I think people get scared and then they get greedy and start hoarding food or other products which creates more hoarding type buying. 

If we can all have respect for each other I think we can get through any situation that comes along. 

But it requires each of us to be fair and kind to one another.  I know, easy to say, its tough when we are afraid we will be hungry or cant get our favorite foods. 

I wonder, if I knew I couldn't get my muffins, would I have bought the one with the ice on it?

We need to ask ourselves the tough questions?

If our answers don't consider another persons needs then maybe we want to rethink our thinking? 

Louise Hay always said
"when you take from life,  life will take from you; and when you give to life, life will give to you."

I try to practice that in my life each day. Some days I do good and sometimes the self centered child in me takes over and I am not  kind and courteous to other souls on this tough road. 

But each day is a new opportunity to consider another person. That's the best I can do each day. 

What will you do today that will make a difference in someones life?  

Share it on the blog!
Have a kindhearted day!
