Meat is the new toilette paper. I went to Costco this AM as part of a routine to pick up food items. Costco has done an excellent job of controlling the entrance to the store and the number of customers in the store reasonable to meet CDC social distancing guidelines. This AM the parking lot was crowded 15 minutes after opening. There was no line and I just walked in. The store looked like the old days.
The meat department was somewhere between a scrum and a mass start race sprint. Now to be fair, everyone had masks on. I feel so much better with a cloth mask on and a mini bottle of hand sanitizer in my pocket.
Costco ordinarily has a lot of meat but today it was looking sparse. I did get everything I wanted but it was clear that within a couple of hours, everything would be gone. It will take awhile for people to fill their freezers with meat.
Stay safe and be well.
