They won't check IDs but seniors are the only ones likely to be up at that hour anyway!! ;-) Our supermarket was out of all meat, all milk, all toilet paper, all bananas, all potatoes, all lettuce, all rice, all produce. It's a good thing we are following a plant-based diet and have over a year's worth of canned goods in the basement!! I will miss bananas and salad, though.
