Seems the panic buying is at Costco. Shop your neighborhood grocery store.

Costco

It was odd to see all those big orange pallet racks completely empty today. No toilet paper. Everyone was grabbing the multi-packs of paper towels I assume as a possible backup plan.

My local supermarket is totally normal so far. Dollar Store has plenty of hand sanitizer.

Costco customer mindset about this whole thing would make a great marketing study. I mean who buys a giant jar of minced garlic anyway? :)

“Seems the panic buying is at Costco.”

Was at Costco Monday. As I reported then, there was no panic, and no stripped shelves, although it was busy and a lot of people seemed to be prepping for extended home vacations.

Is Netflix publicly traded? I might buy in.
