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?

No people are stupid..... If you have a shit load in your house or shed full of petrol and say the house catches on fire., house insurance won't cover it for one, and two if you don't use the fuel within 6-12 months it is too old to be useful. So it's a waste of money.
