Here's the latest list of Florida grocery chains and department stores offering an hour for seniors to get in before the crowds arrive. Certain items are still hard to find like toilet paper, milk, bread and eggs. But at least it'll be a bit easier for them to get what they need.
If I could make one suggestion though, my grandmother is in her 90s and as much as I appreciate these retailers doing this, online shopping is a much better choice. She's in Maine and I'm here in Florida. I can just as easily do her shopping for her and have it delivered just as if I was sitting right next to her.
