Went to Costco today and it was amazing. EVERY lane was open, zero wait. Got some frozen beef and chicken plus some other random crap then pepperoni and sausage pizza from the food court on the way out. It was probably the most painless Costco trip ever.

Made a trip to the Co.

- No TP, paper towels, or baby wipes (these don't disinfect. Read the label.)
- No hand soap or cleaning supplies. Simple green is available, and plenty of shower soap and shampoo.
- No fresh meat or frozen vegetables. Plenty of frozen meat and fresh vegetables. Seafood all around.
- No white bread, sliced bread, or other processed breads. Full bakery section full of baguettes, croissants, bagels, cakes, pies, and all other manner of regular fresh baked goods.
- Rotisserie chickens available.
- Saw someone buying 200 lb of flour. I hope they own a bakery.
- The lady checking out at the register next to me ask the cashier if Costco opened early for executive members. She was not happy to hear that they did not and that Costco treats all of their members equally.

Are there rotisseries lately at Costco? Not that it's the same thing, just curious. I'm not stepping foot into Costco until all this poo poo is done but my local grocery store has a shitload of rotisserie chickens.

Went Friday ("yesterday") in Van Nuys which is north LA , got there 30 mins before opening, line moved enough that I got in around opening. Got TP and they probably ran out not long after I did. PT followed suit shortly afterward. Plenty of water seems like. Lot of people grabbing them chickens but after the initial zerg rush it seemed to even out


astral posted:

I went today (southern California): no paper products in sight but they had ridiculous amounts of bottled water. Frozen food area was half wasteland and half full stock.

Easiest Costco parking I've ever seen and no line to get in. Store was about as busy as normal, though not much in the way of a line at checkout. A friendly man behind me in the checkout line shared his open mouth coughs with my cart and conveyor belt of goods though, so that was nice.

Can confirm rotisserie chickens, limit 1 though.

get there before opening. You don't have to camp out (please dont loving do that) just get there at a reasonably early time.

China doesn't have Costco as far as I'm aware. There was one in Hong Kong and a reseller to buy Costco stuff on Taobao when I lived there. We did have something called Metro, which is basically German Costco. You're right Costco food in Korea is the same as the US, the only concession to local tastes is the pump bottle of corn syrup to put on your pizza/hot dogs.

E: Looks like they just opened the first Costco in Shanghai last fall. I now remember seeing these videos of people fighting over things at it, forgot that was Costco. lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UfO4gpML4g
