    Well don't forget about your hotels especially the nicer ones...they always have a stockade of food. The fresh items may not last long but they will have a pretty good stash of canned items. That would be good for people in cities
    What about a cruise ship? People near coastlines/marinas might be able to use them.

    Ok i will play. May i suggest Grain elevators, as well as rail cars with grain cars attached. Also ports of call on east and west coast where these cars are heading. Railroads in general can be a vast source of goods and fuel for diesels.

    Railroad cars carry fuel, raw supplies COAL chemicals, fertilizer. Man, the RR is a good idea.

    Yep and seeing as how i know a bit dealing with them, due to a previous job, i got a bit of insight on em. Railroads can also be a good path to travel so ya dont have to hit the highways if your careful.

    LOTS of businesses have break rooms/customer waiting areas. and i would say 98% have some sort of snack/pop machine in them. May not be a super healthy food source, but it is calories.

    Another place that comes to mind, sporting goods and backpacking stores. Most all of them carry freeze dried foods, stoves, fuel, tents, sleeping bags, etc. Sporting stores will probably get hit hard, backpacking stores a lot less IMO.

    Factories where products are made, like canning factories for fruit/veggies. Automotive factories for vhicles and parts and tools...even some fuel. Airports, and airplanes there may still have luggage and vehicles and fuel to use. Also most have concessions/resturants in them. Portapotty rental places have TP, and even the porta potty itself is useful as is a vac truck to clean it out and haul away the waste might make ur septic last longer.
