To no one in particular: my Costco run was surprisingly stress free and there was plenty of toilet paper. Went around 5PM.

Felt bad for the workers in general and the cashiers in particular. On my way in, one guy asked one employee if he had to wear a mask, despite the fact it’s been hammered home time and again by Gov. Murphy and every news outlet in NJ. The woman calmly said “Yes”. I don’t know how she didn’t strangle him with a family pack of Kirkland dish rags right then and there.

The cashier stations have all been fitted with giant plexiglass shields. Just a grim reminder of what we’re dealing with.
