Last-minute shoppers in Texas raided the largest grocery chain in the state Thursday, spurring long lines and chaos over coronavirus panic buy items including toilet paper, frozen goods and hand sanitizer.

After a spokesperson for Texas-based grocer H-E-B announced they were “limiting product purchases to protect the supply chain,” all hell seemed to break loose.

Long lines awaited customers who seemingly never expected the panic buys to affect the Lone Star State.

Came to get some groceries and the lines at my @HEB are jammed! Cannot believe the rush at 11am on a Thursday!!! Almost all of the 20 lanes are open. pic.twitter.com/CpfeWPghJs

“I’m usually [an] HEB guy, but there was just too much damn pandemonium in that spot today,” one man said.

Embattled Texans documented their stories on Twitter:

This is the most insane thing I've ever seen. Just went to HEB to get frozen food and pasta just to be safe. A woman tried to steal a jar of sauce out of my cart! Way crazier than any pre-hurricane or pre-snowstorm shopping I've ever seen. Wow. pic.twitter.com/s5lxP7kPn3 — Jilly (@ThoughtsByJilly) March 12, 2020

I was embarrassed to tell the cashier at HEB I’m doomsday prepping so I said I have 6 siblings — Sarah Moore (@SarahMooooore) March 12, 2020

If anyone wants to light a candle for heb workers now would be a good time to do so — .:gina:. (@gina_abigail) March 12, 2020

My dad sent me this pic of the toilet paper aisle at the HEB in New Braunfels last night. Has toilet paper become some underground currency that I don’t know about!? This is seriously ridiculous 😑 pic.twitter.com/6NsXuRhlLY — Alex Stockwell (@alexrstockwell) March 12, 2020

PSA: please for the love of god be nice to grocery store workers during this time, I work at HEB and a man told my customer that he hopes she dies from the virus because shes old……this was all over an argument I had with him on the store limit for water… — sarah (@Sarahsly_stop) March 12, 2020

Bad news: Frozen veggies are sold out. Good news: There’s one package of lavender-scented TP left, if that’s your thing. #groceryapocalypse #Austin #HEB pic.twitter.com/i2C9VhMn6U — Carrie Murchison (@langdonmurch) March 12, 2020

The lines at the Saratoga HEB. People are buying water, paper towels and frozen groceries. Feels like hurricane-preparing weather. @callerdotcom pic.twitter.com/FSQYSoQ3dY — annierice_photo (@annierice_photo) March 12, 2020

I went to @HEB and I. Can’t. Wrap. My. Head. Around. This! People are acting like the world is ending or the power is about to go out or it’s a major hurricane coming. Just wash your hands and don’t touch your face and you’ll be fine. 😞 pic.twitter.com/rfz5hQusKu — This is MY Story! (@cosmicsailor1) March 12, 2020
