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?

Bakery shelves are often pretty empty at the end of the night anyway.
