I'm cringing just thinking about whether I need that jar of mayonnaise or not. The inhaler is kind of an essential though. I hate outside.

Italy is only allowing shopping in groups of 20.

The media is playing them SHS. By the way toilet paper is not the cure??

They're buying corona in bulk.

One of the Costcos in town got shut down yesterday. Fire marshal deemed there too many people inside

You obviously haven't been to Costco. Last week, an old lady kept bumping my ass with her cart! I had to tell her to stop loudly :|

This looks like my Costco in Canyon Country. I hate everyone.
sfmom20055772
This looks like my Costco too. Do all Costco stores look alike on the outside as well?
FellInLoveWithAGayIceDancer
All signs point to yes.

Funny story my husband is a courier driver. He had to drop off toilet paper at a rich area in Melbourne (Australia). He buzzed the gate 1/?
Anikanje
video thingy and rich lady answers. Tells him to drop the package off at the gate. While he is signing package received, maid walks all 2/?
Anikanje
the way from the house to the gate, fully insulated against the virus to come get package. +-300 AUD for 96 toilet rolls. Maybe not so funny

serious question here, how is it people are this way?

As someone that comes from a poor country, yup. Wait until there's food shortages in the super market and people go a little hungry.

It's true. I've witnessed hatred and racism all under one roof. People will throw you under the bus without fucks.

IDidntDoIt
So I consider myself a semi intelligent person and while grocery shopping I noticed the emptying shelves. My 1st thought was "buy it all 1/2
IDidntDoIt
before it's gone. You'll regret it." and I understood the panic that is occurring in these minds.2/2
WoopDeFrickenDoo
Huh. My thought seeing the empty shelves was "there is going to be another shipment pretty soon"
WoopDeFrickenDoo
And the people buying 10x what they need will have.. 10x more than they need at that point.
PlumbingPredator
Exactly, honestly here in Quebec Canada there was a panic buying for a week, empty shelves, now 2-3 days later shelves are all restocked...
WoopDeFrickenDoo
Right? At some point the hoarders houses will run out of room to stuff toilet paper.

Stopped off at sams club yesterday, the ONLY tp they had is 48pk. I only need like 4 rolls for the week, so i guess I'm good for a while

4 rolls a week? Get some fiber in your diet.

I work at a grocery store and I feel very at risk with the amount of people that I’m around.
FoolishDoughnut
Grocery store workers are starting to unite here (Aus) with their unions/bosses to make a stand against the violence and abuse they get now.
bumblebeerumble
There are 4 cases of corona virus in my city. I went to 3 stores, not one of them had toilet paper. I just wanted a pack cause i am low
JJI7
OK, I understand panic-buying. But why TP? Like in what world are people expecting to need a years supply of TP?
bumblebeerumble
That's what i don't get. Who needs that much
SnailsAgainstTungstenSpheres
There are 0 cases in my city. Just got back from the store and there was no toilet paper or rice? I just can't fathom the stupidity.
bumblebeerumble
How much do these people think they are going to crap? All the spam is gone at some stores who eats spam?
SnailsAgainstTungstenSpheres
I know! Apparently Pasta Roni too. Literally none left. I've lost all the remaining faith I have in humanity.
PickleRiiiiiiiiiiiiick
At least Costco limits the amount of people in the store at a time I guess.
SnowMongoose
No, Costco doesn't. And I say that as an 11 year Costco employee who has worked the entrance door.
ShutTheFrontDoors
And the carts are helping limit how close they can be!

Costco worker here. I was so happy with how my Warehouse Manager has decided to manage things. There's a que outside down the side of 1/

the building with cones 10ft apart. We've put away our food court tables, all orders to go. We have a large white board outside listing 2/

what we're out of. We have every till open and cones 5ft off the back of the conveyor to keep members spread out. Only allowing 200 cards 3/

in the building at a time at the moment. Our sample people have not been let go but are helping with croud flow and cleaning... 4/

Not every store is this smoothly managed, but dang am I happy to work somewhere that's actually giving a shit and trying right now. Fin
NEALSMO
Nope. No limitations on shopping. It’s not considered a “gathering”.
dontworryBhappy
Our Costco had to close yesterday because we were at max capacity. It reopened after enough people left the store. People are going crazy
EveryBodyLovesMe
No, he meant Costco is limiting the people at the door. Not abiding by any other regulations.
SnowMongoose
Sadly, no. Clicker at the door is counting for our records and to plan for number of registers to open. Source: 12 year Costco Employee.
PickleRiiiiiiiiiiiiick
Theyve always limited the amount of shoppers in the store. Thats why they have the clickers by the doors.

The guy is a moron, but the hysteria came from elsewhere, like publicizing mass TP purchases. I still have no idea what that’s about.
Annkas
When my son used to mug like this in photos (10-11 years old) we called it his cheeseburger smile. He grew out of it.
DJ280Z
Cheeseberder in this case
FoolishDoughnut
I was going to ask, “How can he be smiling like that if there isn’t a cheeseburger in sight?” But Trumpy do what Trumpy does.
NewToTheEnterwbs
This fucker and the media caused all this hysteria. They are helping self destruct the country.
DontCareBears
Please.. if anything trump downplayed it..... it was all the fucking media and Facebook shit
AngryGroundhog
How exactly do you think this is going to end?
jsnforce
Probably just back to normal for most. The govt. will need to address our responses for future pandemics
FoolishDoughnut
Calling it a hoax and a third attempt to take him down...well, sure, I guess someone could describe that as “downplaying.”
prolorus
He didn’t “downplay” it. He LIED about it for political reasons and months earlier had disbanded the preparedness team
Housemaster
I get what you're saying, but downplaying it caused uncertainty and prevented helpful information. Distrust can lead to hysteria.
jsnforce
Literally nothing he said would have made people happy.
Housemaster
I understand that someone will always be upset, but it should always be encouraged to tell the truth then deal with whatever PR afterwards.
PugPugPugPug
I think both Trump and the media have handled the incident poorly, just in different ways.
AngryGroundhog
When the final death toll is counted, the people still alive will know which one handled it correctly.
PugPugPugPug
I don’t think it’s a “one” situation.
NewToTheEnterwbs
1I understand what you are thinking but because he had no clue and no effort was applied to communicate let alone to understand it, and once

Today there was only 24packs of tp and i had to buy one, so i looked like an hoarding idiot

That was me! I left my cart to grab my last thing, someone took everything out and left it on the ground to take my cart...mayhem
TheWarHymn
I just wanted some chips and cola.
RxNoob
Yeah I went to costco last week for normal stuff bc I got my member dividend to spend. Parking lot too full and line to get in so I left
AnonymousKneeGirl
There is no “normal” shopping at costco. No one needs to go to Costco for regular items
IceBearisGood
That's why I went to Wal-Mart at 8am. It helped, but not by much
Onlymadethistocommentoneday
They really shouldn't be doing normal shopping when the health boards have asked everyone to limit exposure to people. ??♀️
RogueMachinae
Damn people who just want to eat. Selfish assholes! /s

So they should starve nice

This could literally be any Saturday or Sunday at my Costco, impending apocalyptic global pandemic or not.

I just had to get some diapers yesterday for my boys..... Costco was nuts....with no samples.... Rough trip
shadow351
Checkout line at Sam's club went all the way to the back of the store. I grabbed my 3 weekly items, checked out from the app and walked out
PulpyOJ
I went in yesterday for hummus, spinach, and protein bars. Line was at least 100’ long. The cashiers moved people thru efficiently, though.
PorneliusHubertII
I doubt it. A normal person would see that and leave.
YourFatMother
These people are not normal. This is advanced stupidity.
thefrayedendsofsanity
I sure as hell would
BSwankerson
That was me today with my simple shopping list. Cashier was really nice, felt bad for them having to deal with this ALL day
robsquared
Same. Apparently I missed the rush. But also the milk and toilet paper.
BSwankerson
My gas station had some, just a heads up.
MisterD90
I gave up today trying to do mine, to get the essentials.. All I want was some bread, milk, sandwich stuff, fruit/veg and still people suck
Kunitsu
T~T i just wanted some TP, ramen and some cheap ass mac n cheese.... all of which are just completely gone
AlexSomething
This was me friday morning after work. The prior day, in the evening, our president adressed us on TV: "Try to stay at home if possible" >
AlexSomething
> So of course everyone went to stock up on pasta and toilet paper... I just wanted to buy some fucking bananas... I left.

rodentsofunusualsize
Tried to go to Costco yesterday, cars lined up to get into the parking lot. So so went to a pricier grocery store-no lines, fully stocked
rodentsofunusualsize
Spent maybe 40 bucks more than we normally do for weekly shop, but didn’t have to deal with idiots.
rosieted
Main supermarkets - no rice or cans of beans. Asian supermarkets - stacks of 5 or 10Kg bags, all the canned or dried beans.
Anikanje
Im having a first world problem no pricier shop to shop at.
rodentsofunusualsize
That’s the issue. I recognize that I have the privilege to splurge this week. But it’s people who don’t have access/can’t afford those..
rodentsofunusualsize
Places that are in real trouble. That’s where the hoarders don’t realize who they’re hurting.
Donttouchthatwithoutgloves
Went to 2 Costco's and 15 stores today. Not a toilet paper roll or paper towel in any of them. Got 1 and a half rolls left. Pray for me.
TheDino
Stores here are out of TP as well, so I bought extra baby wipes since I'm almost out of TP. Just can't flush them.
rosieted
I’ve had no trouble until I started looking for a thermometer. Baby due in 9 days I wanted to get one and they’re sold out everywhere.
kesaci
Tried to do normal shopping the other day and the place was packed. Water was mostly home. People can be so selfish
Gababu
my fucked up mentality is that a lot of them were old people that will probably end up in the hospital so that food and tp will be wasted.

Cant you just drink tap water? Why is everyone drinking bottled water? Bottled water is soo bad for the environment anyway

So you just always drink bottled water? Jesus christ ...the world is fucked. Get a filter you heathen
