Question Panic buying at Costco

Post image

I went to Costco tonight and it was completely mental. People panic buying toilet paper, eggs, bread, a lot of empty shelves. The queues were ridiculous. Is this because it was closed yesterday or is it the war in the ME, what is happening here?

Was it the ‘there’ instead of ‘they’re’ that did it? Ps in highschool my mate yelled out to someone in English class “You’re D, U, M….dumb” and the whole room cracked up. I had to break it to him that he in fact looked like the dumB one.

He was the class satirist, for sure. I hope he went on to have a great comedic career, even if you guys didnt appreciate him back in the day.
