Sanitizer update

Posted on March 6, 2020March 13, 2020 by Wegmaniacal

Undoubtedly, you’re tired of photos of empty shelves, but worries over coronavirus have taken us to a new level.

Wegmans and other stores, long emptied of Purell and other hand sanitizers, are now selling out of the ingredients of homemade potions.

You can make your own sanitizer by mixing rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) and an emollient such as aloe vera. But we’ve sold out of rubbing alcohol as well.

What’s next? Turpentine?

About This Site

Upstate New Yorkers love their Wegmans, with a bond that newer customers in other parts of the East are discovering. As a customer and former employee, I share the obsession.

I launched Wegmaniacal in December 2019, to examine the cultlike following the company has developed since its founding in Rochester more than a century ago.

The site stagnated when I left Wegmans and returned to other endeavors. But with rising grocery prices, lowering environmental regulation, and pharmaceutical challenges, it’s time to resume writing here.

Much of what I have to say is positive. Nevertheless, the company is family owned and most of its operations are conducted in private. As a longtime journalist, I’ll also delve into topics Danny Wegman would prefer to keep behind closed doors.
