Let’s assume no zombies or other supernatural occurrences, but could be plenty of people being shitty, consequences thereof, or natural disasters

Edit: to expand on this, presumably if society has temporarily or permanently collapsed there would be issues with things like deliveries, security, digital transactions, utility service etc. Feel free to use whichever scenario seems most likely to you, I’m asking more because I was thinking how screwed I’d be if I was just out of food after say, seven days.

    That’s called using EBT.
    Living in a fixed income.

    The disaster hit us a long time ago.

      Well if some disaster hit society presumably there won’t be orderly collection of food stamps, and also maybe grocery stores won’t be open or stocked.

      Also: thinking about food security doesn’t have to be a gun prepper’s wet dream, it could be a thought experiment about mutual aid, sustainable farming or otherwise improving the world we’ve got.
