Depends Shortage Grips DC
A veteran of the Washington convenience store circuit, Alexi Ulyokov knows his business well enough to stock accordingly whenever a holiday rolls over the Capitol city. After years of running the Federal 40’s & Filtered Butts Bodega on 15th Street, he has never had problems with running out of stock.

“It started with the Ben Gay, then eczema cream, then Viagra prescriptions. I’m used to this, right? Washington crowd, older. But then I notice the Depends was flying off the shelves,” Alexi said. “I try calling around, getting more, but everybody’s seeing a run on the things. By Saturday, I’m out.”
