OT: COVID 19 - Continued

Been going to Costco since the pandemic began. I'm surprised there aren't more outbreaks stemming from them tbh

This was the most eye opening. I couldn't believe people could look what happens there and then act like anything else is an issue.

They started bringing back the free samples recently, kinda gutsy imo. But they have it behind a shield I guess.

Right there with you on their bulk meat purchases. You can get like nearly 5 lbs of USDA Choice Steak for under 30$ And I fill up there on premium gas for my Lexus at like 18-22$ per half tank

They really have not though. It is a display behind glass with someone to tell you about it. They do not give out any samples. That would be beyond irresponsible.

On another note, the FDA approved the vaccine officially a couple of hours ago.

Only the CDC now has to approve, likely tomorrow, and we will have shots in arms, likely by Monday.

Hmm I see (bold) people eating samples at my local store maybe it's different by region

You see social distancing at grocery stores? Oh come on.

I’m in fairly rural western North Carolina and I do. There’s the odd asshole who goes the wrong way, but for the most part people are keeping their distance. Could be that the population in this area skews senior citizen, but I have yet to see free-for-alls in grocery stores here.

For some reason I always thought you were a Canadian living guy.....
