Trenace Patterson, of Myrtle Beach, was standing in an empty spot where ******* paper usually sat stacked high with only a box of paper towels in her cart. She came to the store to buy staple items because she’s worried the port strike will cause shortages.

Sam’s Club in Myrtle Beach was packed Wednesday morning with people buying grocery staples. Some were buying supplies to send to areas devastated by Hurricane Helene while others were stocking up after hearing about the dock strike.

One employee said paper products and water ran out Tuesday morning by 9:30 a.m. People had bought palettes of ******* paper and other supplies, leaving sections of the store empty even after resupplies.

The Myrtle Beach Walmart located at 541 Seaboard St. was not as busy Wednesday as Sam’s Club, but people are buying ******* paper, water and paper towels.

Customers are grabbing packs of water as soon as it was stocked, and there were very few packages of ******* paper left. Several people were walking around with carts full of the now-scarce items.

Mohamed Abbas said he heard that ******* paper and water would be impacted by recent events and decided to buy supplies for him and his friends.
