It was not very busy but they made us file in through in a line. They were handing out toilet paper to the ones who wanted it and only one per customer. There were only ten Charmin bags left so my friend and I were lucky.
They had paper towels in the back. I have never seen that many paper towels in my life.
Costco has done well at trying to keep things stocked, organized, and clean. They are also working at preventing hoarders. They have a list of things that you can not bring back to keep people from buying then bringing it back when they can not sell it for outrageous prices.
The employees were very upbeat and friendly.

Grocery shopping is still permitted even during shelter-in-place orders. For a reason.

(2,375 posts)I wasn't even greedy. I only bought 1/6th of what they had in stock. It gets delivered tomorrow. Woohoo!
We ran out today at work, and people were panicking, threatening to stay home, etc. I begged, pleaded, etc. and hit the mother lode. Now some of these same people are complaining that maybe I bought too much. Some people will never be satisfied.
Oh, we have 400 employees.
It will get used, shortage or not.

(13,582 posts)Don't worry, I didn't hoard. It's the usual Kirkland 30 pack I always buy and I got it 12 days before the hoards came. I was just thinking today I should take a six pack around with me in case I run into a friend that needs some. But I'm not seeing anyone except at the grocery store and blood center when I donate.

(11,769 posts)leaving the TP for my sisters. I'm using my white towel sets and lots of other whites, so I can bleach daily. Including the little whit cotton robe I usually use for our hot tub. I'm using that for my face drying, letting it dry for 6 hours in between using and then doing a bleach load every evening with my whites.
