Grocery stores like Kroger and Publix adjusted their hours, closing early in order to get staff safely home during the worst of the ice and snow. However, several staff members still could not safely get into work for the shifts.
News 2 visited several grocery stores in Nashville throughout the week and consistently found packed parking lots, lines wrapped around isles, and emptying shelves.

It wasn't nearly that bad here in Lafayette, 40 miles NE of Nashville.
I did most of my shopping for persihables as soon as I saw the extended forecast for ice and snow in my area. We got iced in for several days and it was Friday afternoon before I was able to make it out due to the fact that the road into town was nothing but a solid sheet of ice.
I wouldn't have gone then but I was out of bacon and you know how that shit goes.
Our Walmart was surprisingly well stocked. About the only things they were short on was the main essentials such as dairy, bread, meats and being Tennessee, Mountain Dew. I picked up what I needed and they had, then went to the Piggly Wiggly for the rest of the stuff. That store was completely stocked and I made it back home with everything that was on my list.
