As I recall the story, their computers showed that the stores RAN OUT of
Strawberry PopTarts and beer. People did stock up on necessities, but the
computer had already accounted for bottled water, milk, Pampers, etc., but
somehow overlooked other necessities (like PopTarts and beer).
Meanwhile, additional fleets of 18-wheelers were dispatched to rush
emergency supplies of 'Tarts and Suds (that would be a swell name for a
tavern), to the afflicted areas.
I guess that's one of the nice things about Walmart: they're so large they
can instantly move over 200 tons of Poptarts to the devastated areas when
it
takes FEMA months to deliver a trailer.
