2. A nightmare? It's a dream.

Yes the price controled stores provided by the government sell out quickly. But she could always shop at the capatalist stores that overcharge for everything. It's like using the military commissary. You make a major food buy at the commissary and yes many of the good deals sell out very quickly. There are plenty of empty shelves at the commissary especially at the end of the week and the lines were huge. But if you really want or need something you can buy at the regular grocery stores that cost more.

It's great that the government provides an alternative to the overpriced grocery stores. Too bad capatalism can't compete.
