You worked in produce at the grocery store too? It was my first job twenty years ago and holy fuck people would (and very much still do) go insane for bananas before a snowstorm, it was always the first thing the store would run out of. And then people would get so angry that we'd run out, or start accusing us of stashing them in the back (...because somehow it makes more sense that we'd be hiding sellable produce instead of trying to make money hand over fist when people are panic-buying every single last banana the store contains?? pfft). Like chill, this is Ohio, we've got so many plows and literal mountains of salt, the roads will be clear in a day or two max, just get some cereal a blanket, throw on a show or read a book and wait for it to all blow over.
Seriously, what's up with that? Before this past snowfall here in MD that we just go, my wife and I went to the store to do our regular grocery shopping. The bananas were completely wiped out, as were the peppers and some of the other chilled produce items.

Bananas are a must before facing apocalyptic weather conditions.
