You should see what happens if the delivery is late at one of your local
supermarkets. I've seen it happen a couple of times locally: some
breakdown and there's no bread. You can keep enough stock to cover such
odd days, but it was about half the daily bread supply for the town.

yes, when you look at how much reserve stock is available in some towns, two
or three days cut off with snow would be a major issue
