I bring news from Costco.
I went tonight after work. I noticed the parking lot was under half full. I filled up with gas, with no line at all. $1.69!!
The main entrance had walls of shopping carts used to make a barrier and a single point entry. Shoppers were asked to come in one at a time, an associate would hand you a paper towel, another would spray the shopping cart handle with a disinfecting spray. You could use the paper towel to wipe it down, or I guess let it air dry.
They had signs all over about keeping 6 feet from others for social distancing. They removed the first wall of goods to give more space for the cashier lines. They had every other line closed and yellow tape on the ground in 6 foot increments.
Basically they were pretty well stocked. A few items were gone. No TP (they said they get it in the morning, and by the night it's gone. No Paper Towels. No napkins. A metric ton of bottled water. Still out of most disinfectant. They had the big clorox spray with the 2 gallon refill package. And they had some clorox wipes. Luckily, they were hidden under the cardboard, and I got one of the last few left. The kirkland brand disinfecting wipes were long gone. I prefer those.
The soft soap refills were gone still, but I got a 4 pack of the special hand soap. They were hidden near the check out lines where the meds are.
Lots of food and bread were there. Not picked bare like before. Customers were limited to one package of eggs and one gallon of milk. Lots of gluten free bread, which is great for my wife. Got two packages, since that brand lasts for like 3 months.
Cashiers have clear plastic shields at the register to better protect them from having people cough or sneeze at them. Even though my cashier said, it makes it really hard to hear, especially if people are wearing masks.
I bet the weekend will be stupid, but a week night was a breeze. I've never been in such an empty Costco.
I was able to get ground beef, they had the premade food too, but I didn't get any. They had the 10lb pound bags of potatoes, big bags of onions, etc.
