Ate a dog on Friday. It definitely had seeds on the bun. Guess I've just never noticed all these years. I kinda feel like if you can actually taste sesame seeds on a sandwich/hot dog, then that means it was so flavorless to be not worth eating in the first place

Looking back on the photos I have of my Costco food, can confirm sesame seeds.

Sesame seeds are more about texture and the pops you get chewing them than actual flavour. I love a seeded bun personally.

I went to two locations this week, one Thursday after work, the other Saturday morning. Neither looked any different from normal, and didn't seem that busy. The water and paper products were lighter on Saturday, but not out.

The weird thing was Wednesday, my local Walmart was out of all bleach products. Both Costcos had plenty though.

I love a seed bun, but the two new Jersey locations I worship at don't put their dogs on them. I would have noticed.

Ate a hotdog in Michigan a few days ago, paying close attention to the bun.

Seedless, as usual. Which is good, I don't like sesame seeds.

Maybe I'm clueless but I don't know anyone who's panicking at all about this. Local store was about the same as can be expected on a Sunday. I picked up a pair of those Adirondack chairs. They're very well made and hopefully last a long time.

And a Prime 18 lb Brisket that I'm smoking for St Patrick's Day feast. Expensive day but worth it.

At the suggestion of someone earlier in the thread, I ran into town to get some extra pet food since I'm down to maybe half a bag each of cat and dog food. The store in town was jam packed, easily 50-100% more traffic than normal even for sunday. It was a madhouse and I decided not to get a dog. I ran some other errands in town (needed to hit the butcher for some skirt steak and wanted to run through Menards for some stuff) and then went to the "out of town" one on my way home and grabbed a dog there. That one was practically empty, although I did get there like 15 minutes before they closed.

Both stores were out of Kirkland toilet paper and it looked like people were taking paper towels instead :lol: The out of town store had maybe a half pallet of Charmin' left. Water was getting hit hard but both stores still had maybe a half dozen pallets out.

Pet food makes sense to me, it's largely made in china and if supply chains get disrupted it's good to have a couple months stocked up. I don't really get what the draw for water and toilet paper are though? It's not an earthquake or hurricane where water supply is going to be hosed up, even if you have to hole up in your house there's still probably gonna be water service (if you're city water) and electric (if you're well water). I guess if you are low on toilet paper then by all means stock up but I don't see a specific need in this situation. And I don't get why you'd buy water at all.

Menards is sold out of hand sanitizer and masks but that's nothing new, those supply chains have been turbofucked for a month or two now.

Only thing empty here was Kirkland water, but its hard to tell if its abnormal. Sundays usually mean like 2.5 pallets on the floor, and by 5:30 they're empty or close to it normally. Everything else was normal levels. Store was a bit more crowded than normal.

Yeah I don't get the TP thing either. Or the prepping. But to be honest, it kind of got to me for a second when I saw the latest CNN clickbait headline and I kind of contemplated grabbing stocking up on something...then I came to my senses and realized there's 89 cases of Coronavirus in the US. We're 327+ million people. Lol we're fine

I think the reason for TP is not having to rush to the store if you think the Joneses might be infected.

Also, if you end up working from home for a length of time, presumably you go through it faster.

Alternately, TPing their trees while they're sick and can't stop you.

You joke (maybe?) but my visit to Costco on Saturday had people open mouth coughing and sneezing without covering their face holes and people would rush to get the gently caress away from them

I think a lot of news articles just reuse emergency planning articles from earthquakes etc because I have seen a few talking about stocking up on bottled water, which wouldn’t be an issue in a quarantine.

They also had stuff on propane cook surfaces etc too, it’s definitely a mad clickbait rush.

No it's real. I work at Costco and the last two days we've totally sold out of water bottles. And I live no where near reported cases

Oh I know people are loading up on water bottles but it’s probably a lot to do with these articles and it just becomes a group reinforced behaviour ie I see others loading up on water therefore I must load up too!!

fwiw i got dragged to costco (mishwaka, in) last saturday afternoon for pizza (i usually go on weekdays 1-2 hrs before close to avoid the crowds) and it was packed. I've never seen the parking lot so full, we literally had to park all the way at the end of the lot. It was nuts inside. Didn't pay particular attention to what people were stocking up, but definitely a lot busier than a usual weekend that isn't a holiday or has some Notre Dame game going.

So back story: Our store had just opened and we were signing up for accounts on Day 1. I, as a joke, filled out my name as Ticklebuns to make my wife laugh. She did not. But the manager of the this particular Costco thought it was hilarious and granted me the name Ticklebuns on my card. So now, I get asked every time I go through check out. Worth it.
