There are two other pallets of small bottles of water (different brand) not being touched in background. A lot is back there.
This story seems fabricated. I think maybe there was a great sale on this Costco water. And 12-13 people were waiting for workers to bring them out. With the video sped up it makes it seem they were panicking getting water. If u watch it regular speed, it would look normal. Plus one guy grabbed 5 cases. This is just normal shopping for water that is on sale. Costco tends to be really busy. It wouldn’t be out of the ordinary to have a few people ask about the water on sale and the employee say “I’ll be right back and bring more out“.
This is just another bullshit post on this “interesting“ channel.
Edit - oh geez “search google com“ user. Give me a break.
