Wal-Mart has just lost a customer. I’m not standing around outside to wait my turn. There are other stores.

My guess is that part of the reason for this policy at Walmart & Target is that they are general merchandise stores with clothes, toys, electronics, etc. and entire families were streaming in with the kids in tow for entertainment.

Around here (Central FL) I have seen none of that in Publix, HD, Lowes, etc. I also saw where Costco was onlying allowing 2 people per membership card, so that kinda validates my assumption.

Never did I think I would see this in America. People wrapped in masks shuffling quietly and nervously in place in a long line just to go into a store to buy a few things that their government says they're "allowed" to buy. A scene right out of a B-movie filmed in some Asian hell-hole like Wuhan or Suk-Muk-Dik, but instead it is becoming typical of conditions in Anytown, USA

So although the severe restrictions to our liberty serve a short-term -- and acknowledged necessary and important purpose to spread out the rate of infection so as not to overload our medical facilities, setting aside for a moment the devestating effects these restrictions are having on our economy and on society the price we'll pay -- which has been given little attention until the past day or two -- is that these draconian measures will have little effect on the total number of infections.

Medical professionals are now saying that this Chinese virus will run its course no matter what we do to "flatten the curve" which means, in basic mathematical terms, that while the rate of infection has slowed (a very good thing) the area under the "infection curve" is not expected to change; it will just spread out over a significantly longer time (a very bad thing).

Costco has done similar and while I haven’t quit them altogether I’ve changed from every two weeks to every three weeks and I may crank it down further.

I am not into waiting in line to get in anywhere.

Use their online ordering and pick up at the designated spots, just drive up and get it loaded for you.

The other day there was a drenching chilly
rain which I bet was more deleterious to
these lemmings than the Chinese Virus
