Register staff
It seems to happen every Thanksgiving — someone forgot to buy half and half to make whipped cream for the pumpkin pie, the sour cream is out of date for the mashed potatoes, or, heaven forbid, no one made a side dish.
Many grocery stores in the Des Moines area plan to be closed for the holiday or open for limited hours so staff can have their own meal with friends or family.
