    Im not familiar with demoulas, is that a regional chain? How many stores in the chain that need extra stock because of the run on supplies? A truck being a day late isn't a big surprise in these situations. They only had x number of trucks, warehouse space, and employees now trying to do twice the work due to a sudden surge in sales volume.

    Organized? Like all countries we have x number of citizens abroad at any given time. The only difference is they all wanted to come home at the same time. What else could they do? Close down the airport to everyone else except those returning from over seas?

    They could have kept them seperate.
    On the planes or in segregated area's off the airport.
    Not put them together in one big line .
