Park Slope Food Co-Op Already In State Of Sandy "Insanity"

The denizens of Park Slope know that every hurricane survival kit is incomplete and downright DANGEROUS without raw pate "seed cheese," which is apparently why the Park Slope Food Co-Op was packed to the gills with responsible adults this morning. According to the grousing on Twitter, things have not improved, and there's currently a queue to even get in the door.

Behold what Mother Nature hath wrought. It's like the DMV, if the DMV were a Kafkaesque nightmare with 78% cacao chocolate bars.

It's 8:20am and the @foodcoop is already a shitshow. Is there something going on...?

Stocking up at @foodcoop. Thought I was smart getting here early. Thought wrong. In a wrap around line next to the mushrooms #HurricaneSandy

Insanity @foodcoop. Friend was told to go upstairs, get a number & wait in this room to be called down to shop #Sandy twitter.com/sarablask/stat…

Chaos in Park Slope. The @foodcoop is so crowded that they have had to close to shoppers for at least an hour. #Sandy

An employee of the Co-Op could not confirm the hour-long closure, and said that they would be open until their usual hour of 7:30 p.m. But by then all the Grana Padano will be long gone, man.
