Truckloads of stock are still getting to grocery stores and other retailers. But, Michiganders are clearing the shelves of certain items.
The Michigan Retailers Association said since the governor lifted weight restrictions for trucks carrying essential supplies, stores are getting more stock on more trucks. The organization’s spokesperson, Meegan Holland, said people can stop hoarding.
“People are panicking and they don't need to because trucks are hauling essential goods to the stores.”
Some shoppers said things are getting better. Melissa Melick was pushing a cart out of a Wal-Mart in Adrian Tuesday morning.
“It’s restocked more than it was last time I was here. There was nothing –nothing- three days ago.”
Stores are still short of hand sanitizers, pasta, poultry, and toilet paper.
