I live in the suburbs at present. Seeing the way people panic-buy when there's any kind of whiff of a shortage (fuel, food when the shops will be completely closed for a day, etc), I'd sooner be prepared than not - I'm not pinning my hopes on there being anything on the shelves beyond day 1 of any emergency.

Maybe even a McDonalds.

Depends where the disaster is. There aren't many cows etc near here for example, but there are quite a few squirrels. And trout in the river - just remembered that. I also forgot about the river as a source of water (suitably purified).
Having to rely on McDonalds sounds like a disaster
