CALIFORNIA - HOAXBUSTERS:
This letter was allegedly given (handed to them by manager) to one of our guys who part-times at Costco, LaHabra (LA county, CA). This person said that they were told not to be on the road after 7pm. (DH says he was also told this by a cart guy DH knows, at the Lake Elsinore store, Riverside Co., CA)
Is this legitimate or hoax?

Employees,
We are asked to get all employees a letter to carry with them in their vehicle. To allow them to drive to and from work. This letter and your name badge is to be carried in your vehicle in case you are stopped by Law Enforcement or National Guard.
We will start issuing these letters on 3/24/00 in the Admin Office. Please pick up your letter as soon as possible. We want to make sure you have it immediately.
Thank you,
Costco Management
legitimate or hoax?
“legitimate or hoax?”
Sounds Legitimate. Here in South Carolina my cousin was told he would get a letter for in case he was stop going back and forth to work. This when they do the stay at home order.
He is the maintenance manager of a senior living place.
My wife received a similar letter from CVS (N CT)—sounds legit.
It’s legit, my husband and his employees will have similar letters.
Legitimate. My wife works at a distribution center and she got hers and passed out the letters to her staff on both shifts. She had a long day that day.
