Today's Costco trip [View all]
Haven't been since the lockdown started in March, and we had a long list of basics that needed refilling, so we went to the Redwood City, CA, Costco. We got there around 10:30 (they don't seem to have their senior hours anymore, at least they're not listed on the web site) and there was a line of about 40 people (at least it was in the shade), all of whom were spacing themselves out and wearing masks. People were let in in small bunches. Inside, people mostly continued to observe a reasonable distance from other shoppers. I did see 2 people not wearing masks, but they looked to be under 10. Most shoppers seemed to have a list.
Meat selection was spotty: no packs of chicken thighs or wings, but we were able to find some normal-sized chickens. The fish selection looked good, not as much meat as previous visits. They did have a greater variety of produce in small-family quantities for a change. There was no shortage of toilet paper or other paper goods.
Overall, it was a more pleasant shopping experience than Costco usually is. I'm still puzzling about the shopper who had an entire cart full of cans of instant lemonade mix - and a bag of lemons.
