Costco Today-- Tell me what you've seen in your area.

For years I do an early morning Costco run on Sunday. I am always in a group of early birds who are there for the ten am opening.

Generally, the early bird crowd is about 10 people and we stand around chatting till the door is opened. Most of us are regulars.

Today I arrived at my usual time- 9:50- and there was a solid line of people with carts. Within the next ten minutes more showed up. The mood was tense, no one was speaking and everyone had a cart Ready to go. It was strangely reminiscent of the few times I did black Friday.

If I had to guess, I'd say there were at least 50-70 people. They had to let us in on both sides. I've never seen anything like this in all the years I've been shopping at Costco, and I've been a member for over ten years. I've been shopping at this one for six years.

Up until now, everyone I encountered in stores seemed relaxed, I noticed a few bare shelves, but it was the weekend and that happens sometimes in my community at the beginning of the month.

I live in Baton Rouge, LA. I did notice a few out in the open large scale preps being done.

Luckily for me, today is my last day.

Hope you guys are ready too. If people here are getting anxious, I can only imagine it's really about to hit the fan.

Anyone notice anything in your area?
