- Description
- Brian Bradley headed to Ancaster, Ont., Costco location with his mother to check out the safety measures put in place. Limited number of shoppers within the store, a steadily growing line-up of people (all provided with wipes to cleans hands and cart handles), and the orderly fashion of the store made for a safe and efficient shopping experience. There were no food hoarders or "hustlers" buying everything available as he had experienced in the previous week when coronavirus and closure fears soared.
Some paper items (toilet paper, Lysol wipes, gloves, handsoap, Tylenol) were out of stock, which was very common in the early pandemic days as shoppers hoarded supplies and "hustlers" swept shelves clean of supplies for resale at increased prices. - Publisher
