Costco Lines Are Outta Control!

Description (Dublin Core)

When the pandemic hit, and even just before, people ran to the stores and cleared out all the cleaning supplies, bottled water, hand sanitizer, canned food, rice and beans, rubbing alcohol, toilet paper, and paper towels. Costco is a big membership warehouse store with large quantities and good prices, so people flocked there. This video is typical of all of Southern California's Costco lines. The lines circled around the entire 150,000 square foot store! We watched the news footage in amazement. Shot by journalist @mrmarkpotts for the LA Times.
I cut off the last few minutes and sped it up to 250%, but it took him 7 minutes to walk down the line.
The apocalypse was surely nigh!
