While putting myself through college and for a while after college, I spent six years working at a grocery distribution center for a regional supermarket chain here in eastern Pennsylvania. I cannot express strongly enough how quickly I learned to hate snowstorms and the media fueled panic that people would trapped in their houses for weeks without milk, bread and eggs.
On the day before a snowstorm, the size of store orders to the warehouse dairy for milk and eggs would instantly triple or quadruple. Things would be so overwhelming on the day before a snowstorm that managers and buyers who I had never in my life seen on the warehouse floor would take off their ties and dress shirts and come into the 36-degree dairy cooler to pick orders of milk, juice and eggs.
