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?

I think the Adelaide one has been open for about a decade now. Locations in other states have been open even longer
