All those people that panic and screw up traffic and hurt everybody else's chance to buy anything by over buying, should not be allowed to return a damn thing.

In my opinion, these panic buyers should be forced to keep whatever they bought.



I agree.  There should be an all sales final on all disaster preparedness stuff bought in a panic the days before (i.e. generators, butane etc etc).  Might teach those people to be prepared for next time, rather than having them return it and just repeat the cycle.

SHTF when we get hit with a tsunami, try gettin things within 6 hours or less. Why return it when they will end up using it away? How much for a generator cost now? Just lookin into chainsaw, alot of trees in my area, learn from this storm that I dont think off

Unless you have really big trees; a large axe works pretty well.

When I was a kid we had stuff blow down all the time from hurricanes; machete is really what you need for the small stuff.

Got a call today from a friend who's working in the Puna jungle trying to get some water lines in to some areas with no water. He said that their union is planning a fund raiser to help those whose homes were damaged. I said great, but how about the union setting up a few areas where they can set up to serve food and refreshments to all those Helco/Heco, County & State crews, and volunteers that are working long hours and under dangerous conditions to get to those people. They could use it just about now.

It was no refund, no exchange on hurricane items at Marukai.
