Yah it was a hit, I recommend. So fast and easy. I was thinkin bout how to just replicate it, would have to pre-cook the pasta and italian sausage but it wouldn't be too bad, could prep a bunch ahead of time and warm up what's needed.

It's a nice treat for the wife and I. It's just what we need after a full day of this bullshit life of ours.

True, true

Costco run today in Columbus, OH. Had lots of everything as long as it was not Corona adjacent. No wipes, tp, bleach or paper towels. My wife didn't let me buy a bidet and its about to be real lovely around here.

I went to Costco and had to wait an hour to get TP and they said no wipes or bleach or anything and so I didn't look, then when I got home everyone was posting on local Facebook that they got wipes and Lysol spray. At least I got my tp and mayonnaise.

Makes sense, I've heard that a lot of them are getting pretty empty by late afternoon. Sucks for the employees losing hours, but they are probably happy to not be working 60 hour weeks anymore.

I'm glad a lot of them got backdated hazard pay bumps. I braved the opening horde because we legit had one pack of tp left and I tried to thank every employee I came across. I got there at 8:35 and they were pretty well organized. I can tell the folks manning the Paper Products area were frazzled at the rush and were probably sick of the daily zombie rush.

I'm sure they spend a bunch of time sanitizing all the surfaces or installing the plexiglass germ guards at the tills, too

They had the plastic shields at the registers today, those weren't there on Monday. Meat dept. was pretty fully stocked, saw a lot more seafood and poultry than in the past few weeks. Myself, I picked up a pork belly to make some pork burnt ends on the new traegar.

Just curious, are you folks who are finding TP/corona-adjacent things in non-urban areas or are y'all just lucky?

A coworker's mom supposedly managed to find a huge bottle of hand sanitizer at church near Fremont or San Jose, CA this week. I personally think it was a mirage and will have vanished back into the ether by now.

this was 100 years ago before the lockdown but I went to downtown LA (ralph's was still 24 hour so you could be in there when they restocked) and they had a bunch

I think it helped that it's a commuter job city (and super car parking unfriendly) as opposed to the more suburban areas where every soccer mom and their minivan goes

Lucky? I was in the center of the Valley (between the 405 and the 170/5) getting car poo poo done and I got out in time to think "well, better go line up and see about toilet paper and diapers".

I think it helps that there are 3 CostCo's in the valley within 20 minutes of each other and one Business Center as well.

While I was in line I hard one of the ChurchStaff mention that the Target down the block has been stocked full of Coronagoods every morning so I hit that up afterwards to get baby wipes, and they were almost out of TP, and all out of disinfectant wipes.

The non-member will show the cashier the gift card and say they are not a member. The cashier will request a supervisor and call it as a "99". The super will punch in their code and the non-member will swipe the gift card and then pay the remainder with whatever cash, debit, or credit card that Costco normally accepts. The cashiers, I’m sure, are asked not to be judge mental, but they sometimes can be.

Down to my last two rolls of TP, I had been waiting for some kind of lapse in weird hoarding tendencies but every night when I checked Costco (I live across the street) there's always a sign saying they are out. Employees just say to call in the morning since they don't know when resupply will be happening. My mom is literally mailing me some toilet paper (from CA to OH) because she keeps going during senior hours and buying toilet paper whenever she sees it there. Holy poo poo, what is wrong with old people.

Much like land, they aren't making any more bottlecaps (except for the sarsaparilla soda in New Vegas but I don't know if they're punching their own or what, it would be a mint otherwise.)

Wife thinks buying a bidet is gross. We have plenty of TP for now, but given the situation, is it really such a bad idea to buy one, not open it, then return it if I never end up needing it? Even if they end up disallowing bidet returns like they have with other things it seems like a non-crazy insurance policy.

Why not buy it and use it, yourself. That at least cuts down your usage by a quarter.

At this point we almost need the old fuckers to do this. They're the only ones who get the chance to loving buy and hoard it.

Costco needs to limit the TP and poo poo to literally one per card per week.
