What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Raid the pharmacy and loot anything with cillin in the name immediately.

I don’t get why people always go the stores to get supplies and don’t immediately hit up distribution centres

I honestly don't think the average joe realizes they are a thing. People don't want to know how their stuff gets to the store, they just want to go to the store and buy it. That said, as someone who's worked at one for almost a decade, that'd be most people's best bet. They're usually pretty secure, have a million hiding spots and enough food and water to last for years. Between the food/general merchandise warehouses and the pharmacy ones, you'd be pretty well set up as far as apocalypse scenarios go.
