I saw a lot of worried faces today in the line at the grocery store. People talking about how they can't afford to buy all the things they 'wanted' or things of that nature.
We went out to dinner last night. It was the first time in three months where we actually sat down and had dinner in a restraunt that didn't have a drive through. The wait staff were all discussing gas prices and how they were truely concerned for their jobs. I over heard this because they were congregating around the front of the restaurant and our booth was the first one up close. They didn't know I was listening in, but the concern was too deep to keep the discussion down. When the nice kid served our meal, she said in a rather broken voice that "If you need anything, you can see were not crowded so just say if you need anything."
At work,people who never had a cause for concern have started to discuss how much it costs every day to get to work and back. Some of the guys have a $20 round trip every day. This literally comes to working the first hour plus just to get to work.
I am not sure where this is going, but when I was at the grocery, I literally had tears welling up because I am so distressed that things are going to get so much worse, it might be the downfall of so many people.
I guess time will tell on how bad things will get.
