People are freaking out here also. Are you in the Ohio area? Our lines didn't look like this, but our pharmacy drive thru always had multiple cars in it, and if people were in our pharmacy line they came in droves.
It was like that at my store a month ago when we had predictions of heavy ice. We ordered a double truck and I put it all OUT that day..... the truck was around 600 - 700 pc.

Same in Southern WV. They call for a couple inches on tv, by the time customers tell us, it gets turned into a foot and they freak out and buy up all the store.
It's a lot like the ice storm we had here in early December. The store was cleaned out of many items like hot cocoa and broth.
Oh that ice storm! What fun that was. The store I'm at had lines that extended from the front of the store all the way back to the dairy department at the back end of the store. A co-manager joked a few days after how he was on a register all day and the store manager was his bag boy for about four hours. Fun stuff. At least we could actually walk through receiving for a change since no trucks could get through and we sold out of a lot of stuff.
SE Michigan here. I'm not a cashier or courtesy clerk and boy did I count my blessings today. I came in at 4:30pm and the line was literally 1/3 into the store from where the registers started. I walked the store after my shift was over at 9:00pm and we are 100% out of all eggs, bread, and (most) meat. Most milk is gone. There is NO produce in the backroom except for apples from what I heard! Out of grapes, celery, bananas, watermelon, oranges, parsley...
Well, I went shopping this morning (mistake) and I stood in line for a half an hour, as the checkout lines were across the store, back into dairy, and around the corner all the way to the meat department.
Faster checkout with Kroger? Not when you have 10 inches of snow coming.
I went into work then after that, and it died down eventually, but i was so glad to not be a cashier today.

Hmm...you just described exactly what happened at my store. Down to the line wrapping all the way to the meat dept.
I started pulling people from lines that had smaller orders and we were checking people out at the pharmacy. Our Will Call bins look empty, and our drive through was hopping. I'm exhausted.
The store did over $200k in sales in less than an 8 hour time period, excluding fuel. Fuel center was packed too. Madlinger wants the store back in top top shape by 8am, with no holes. LOL I'm so glad I don't work out there in the store. What a nightmare. Keep me in my pharmacy.
We had 45 minute wait time today lines backed up to pharmacy to down around the freezer and back to the dairy.... So much for making it green this week on que LOL!!!!!

Maybe we're in the same store after all? But I think all of them were like that yesterday.
I haven't heard what our sales were but I know we made budget by like noon or 2 yesterday.
And Madlinger's freaking insane to even expect that, our bread aisle looked empty today too. It takes more than 12 hours to recover from a day like that... It wasn't too bad in the bakery last night but I thought that pharmacy had it the easiest (but i didn't see what the drive thru looked like)
I've never been late a single day or called off a single day since I've started working at Kroger. Today was my first exception. I couldn't even make it out of my driveway let alone out onto the road D=
What sucks is I could really use the money since I've spent a lot since the holidays, but, I'll just have to live with it.
