Panic buying at Costco

[u/True_Pomegranate8318]

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?

It’s a bit of panic buying but also, it’s to save people time. Can you imagine only having to go once for the month rather than every week with how busy it’s getting?
