I figured we could share what we're finding at the stores. I would imagine all the panic buyers have done their hoarding, and now everyone else is back to their normal day to day business.
I just left Costco in Katy (3/16) and the store was busy, but there was no lines to go in.
A Costco team member was using bleach wipes to wipe down the carts before you got them.
Meat and Produce departments were stocked. Milk was limited to 2 gallons per member. The 24 pack of eggs was 1 per member. They had plenty of milk and eggs.
Pet food was stocked up.
They had cleaning supplies but no wipes, no bleach.
No bottled water but the person working there said they had sold out of the daily delivery. Had plenty of soft drinks, flavored water, beer and wine.
They had lots of tissue paper, but not toilet paper.
Plenty of dry goods, crackers, etc.
Frozen foods looked well stocked, plenty of stuff in the cases.
All checkout lanes were open and it was busy like you'd find on a Saturday.
I used self checkout and the store manager was helping everyone move through the self checkout quickly. I thanked him for keeping things going. He advised that Costco was nowhere near running out of stock, its just coordinating logistics and putting stuff on the floor without being mobbed by shoppers.
The main thing I noticed, is that almost everyone there was buying their normal shopping. There was no obvious hoarding or panic buying that we keep hearing about.
