Businesses cope in various ways

The widespread power outage has wrought unusual situations in the Quad-Cities. Quad-City Bank & Trust orders 130 dozen Plantation Sensation cookies at a time, but a cookie crisis developed Wednesday. The stockpile was gone and the bakery that made them was without power. The bakery’s power suddenly came back on, and bank customers had cookies before the day was up.
Moline’s Quad-City Bank & Trust branch has been without power, but the teller line has kept going the old-time way with handwritten receipts. Tellers wrote messages, “How can we help you?” for drive-through customers because there was no power for the microphones.
Even past utility execs have not been spared. Stan Bright, former president and CEO of MidAmerican Energy, lives on the East Coast and was in the Quad-Cities for a visit. He stayed at the home of Bill Green, a former vice president of the utility. Ironic that the Green home in Rock Island had lost its power.
