Recently, prices in the United States have skyrocketed, and violent incidents of "zero-dollar shopping" have surged. Due to the global pandemic, many workers were infected with coronavirus or temporarily laid off, leaving a lack of staff to help with discharging and shipping good after they arrived at the port in a timely manner. Containers piled up at various ports, but store shelves were bare.

A netizen commented, "Wonder if we will end up with empty supermarkets and mass robberies at the port, like an upgraded version of 'zero-dollar shopping'?"
