I just went to Costco to take back some halibut that I bought for dinner that smelled a bit strong and I standing there waiting at the return desk and I see every buggy that comes by holding paper towels and toilet paper. Then I realize that there must be three to four times the customers that are normally in here. What is provoking the public to start this panic buying again, the tropical storm in the gulf, the time change, the blue moon, what the hell is going on. The election is a two week out and I can't imagine needing more TP based on whoever wins. Can someone please explain this phenomenon to me.

The number of reported chinavirus cases is on a pretty hard trend upwards nationwide. Guess people are freaking out about that.

The one in Montgomery has a huge supply of toilet paper in. But I don’t understand the panic buying again. I just wish I could find some Lysol spray because staying in hotels weekly I go through it.

I've yet to see a single can of lysol or similar on a shelf since March. I'm not getting up at the crack of dawn to fight the crowd at Wal-marks to get 2 cans.

I haven't used a drop of hand sanitizer or one single shot of lysol through the whole plandemic.
I've stayed in several hotels, been to grocery stores, hospitals, doctor offices, etc. People are way too panicky.

I'm still upset that acid rain never worked out. I got a dang truckload of lead ponchos sitting in storage.

Costco will take anything back. They have great customer service in their stores.

I obviously have a great immune system. I use the Lysol to spray the chase loungers. I don’t care anything about setting where somebody’s cod sack or nasty snatch has been.

Never had to take anything back to Costco before, because i'm not a member and never will be. But i have got home with steaks (once with porks chops) before that smelled very bad once they were separated, so i took them back.

Yup, they will stamp a new sell by date on it and sell it.

Because I paid $40 plus for it and I have thrown it away the past two times but I said not this time. The clerk told me that I was not the first one to bring some back today. I didnt pay attention to the date to sell on the label which was one day after I bought it. I went and got some more and they had removed all the old dated fish and replaced it with new ones.
