I states food for restocking. And I could not get an answer on if the bills need to be special marked or not.

Can not be a mixed load of food and something else. Paper and other products need to be marked.

You'd think they'd have the sense of mind to adapt to the current circumstances. I guess I hoped for too much, as our shelves are bare everyday and I wanted to help.
