I do not understand why people aren’t satisfied with the uppermost (open) case of whatever when there’s a large stack (and, let’s face it–everything is stacked at Costco). I watch them struggle to lift 4 or 5 cases so they can pick one box of raisins from the 5th level down. I get if there was one left on top that was crushed or some other moron opened…but, really?
The other one is the family of 5 that walk next to each other (think front line of an NFL team) while pushing the cart as slowly as possible down the ‘wrong’ side of the aisle.
The annoying behavior that bothers me most isn’t unique to Costco:
People not masking as if there isn’t a pandemic going on.
I only expect people to mask if they’re feeling unwell.
You are extremely naive about how COVID manifests and is transmitted.
I’m all for people masking when necessary ….but it’s kind of over. Yeah new strain and all that…but…yeah. It’s over.
It really, really isn’t. There’s a whole new strain making hospitalizations tick up. Every reinfection increases the chance of Long COVID. Vaccination does not protect from reinfection.
Yeah, I still mask-up indoors in public places…

Ok, but there is still a pandemic. It’s not a global emergency anymore, but COVID is not endemic yet. Even once it is, if you are feeling unwell you should stay home and if going out is absolutely required you should wear a mask. That’s just the responsible thing to do and a change in COVID status won’t change that.
I’m not going to judge anyone who still masks up. Everyone has their reasons but even in my area, where we were masking up long after the rest of country stopped, it’s rare to see someone masking except on public transport.
Ok? Does that change anything I said?
