Yeah I heard from a friend at one that the line was to the back of the store.

They got lucky. The line in Barrie started at computers, went back to meat, then a u-turn and back to the cashiers at the front.
Getting crazy now. Wife was saying that there were cops at one of the Costco’s to prevent mayhem.
And apparently someone pulled a gun in Loblaws downtown in a fight....

My wife got some staples and options for a few meals today...only moderately insane she said.
A trip to a little rural store in buttfuck somewhere may be in order this weekend. If not to actually hopefully find some damned toilet paper, but also to just remove ourselves from the stupidity that is about 50% of the population right now.
Sometimes I just want to live somewhere like this with no stupid people.
On another note...I had to laugh today. Some facilities are now instituting forms and questionnaires before admitting you to certain larger plants and factories....because, you know...nobody would EVER lie on a piece of paper the rent-a-cop security guard hands you at the gate.
Anyhow, one place I went to today was all about the paperwork. Wanted all sorts of personal info (most of which I refused to provide...sorry, you do NOT need my DL# or my personal cellphone number) and had a big form with all sorts of checkboxes about travel history, any symptoms you may be experiencing, if you've been sick, blah blah blah. So freakin worried about things. Then....they hand me a selection of filthy specialty PPE they require for said facility (all of which is unnecessary overkill compared to the PPE I normally wear as part of my work day) and send me into the facility.
They're so worried about disease transmission but insist on their "special" PPE that hasn't probably been cleaned since 1984. And which really could be done away with honestly in the short term.
It's like this everywhere. So much kneejerk going on without much thought to the actual bigger picture that it's almost laughable.

Mine is currently doing the same. Not surprised.
Not that it matters.
You do know that is 2 different fiction books. Not the same book as represented.
It sort of matters. Getting a date right is only remotely interesting if you are also correct about something harder to blindly guess.

I've got two or three boxes of gloves in the garage that occasionally get used for mechanicing. Probably three or four tubes of lysol wipes too as I bought them but found them not great to use so they got relegated to baby wipes for dirty equipment.
Anybody else see the article about the enterprising wanker in BC that bought $70K worth of Lysol wipes (clearing out most costcos in BC) and sold them on Amazon to clear $30K. I blame costco for letting that stupidity happen. Not only did they let him clear out an entire store, he needs a Costco account, if should be pretty easy to see that he is going from store to store doing the same thing.
Well at least someone is making money over this. Are normal people actually buying Haz-mat suits or is this government stupidity and excess at its finest and they are filling warehouses full of things that will never be used?This stuff is just getting crazy.
Due to an unprecedented spike in order volume and inquiries, our lead times on shipping, along with the time it takes us to respond to your questions has increased. The current estimated lead time is eight to ten weeks specifically on the HAZ-SUIT
Hazmat Suits - Biohazard and Radiation | HAZ-SUIT | MIRA Safety
The HAZ-SUIT is a HAZMAT suit that provides protection for a wide range of chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear agents. Available in youth sizes. Learn more.www.mirasafety.com
EDIT:
Not sure if the reviews are fake or just racist. This thing is basically a glorified garbage bag. The mask is sold separately.
"Perfect coronavirus protection
Wore this on the plane in my last work trip. Some asian kids were coughing at me but I felt 100% safe. It's been 14 days and I don't feel sick so it looks like this does the trick."
had no clue, i found it amusing
They are disinfecting streets with a handheld weed sprayer? That seems like a useless make work project. Probably takes more years of life off the poor guy with the wand than it saves.
