A Costco Half-Full Kind of Guy

The bread racks were empty. No gluten this week!

The Friday local news was rife with reports of warehouse stores being so crowded that shoppers weren't allowed into a store until someone exited. We're well into the second week of the Fear of Running Out (FORO).

A half an hour before closing last night it was easy to find parking at the Foster City Costco. A couple of items on the list--chicken (all assortments) and onions (5- or 10-lb. bags)--were totally gone.

However, there were plenty of other alternatives; organic mushrooms, organic broccoli, and flank steak will be on the menu this week. We'll have to make do with what is available, just like my parents and grandparents did. To them even a half-full Costco would be a cornucopia.
