But no line today (although there were one or two people waiting when I left).
My two takeaways: The prices have gone up overall, although not for everything, and a couple of my favorite products are no longer available.

My Mom is excited to go shopping tomorrow for the first time in well over a year as well. I have no problem with it because at the time she is going, it's pretty much dead there except for the employees. I do get the thing about the products no longer available. Even produce - the only red potatoes I can get are these tiny ones. At least the price for Spam luncheon meat came down. My brother has wanted more forever, but most places either didn't have it or the price was more than I would pay.
