Costco warns customers over delays on essential household item

Costco Wholesale is issuing a warning to customers that have purchased toilet paper and other common household items online, saying they may face delays in receiving their orders.

I guess toilet paper consumption goes up when people work from home.

Clickbait or not, I have noticed getting staple items from Kroger is still tough. They have not had Kroger brand aspirin for months. Their online inventory and actual inventory is not well coordinated.

The subject *is* clickbait. That doesn't mean the content isn't valid. FWIW, whenever I post on TUG and I notice it's a clickbait-ish title, I change it to be more relevant.

I was at our local Costco today and they were out of Charmin but had a few Kirkland brand. They were definitely low in stock. I didn't buy any, but maybe I should have. It's time to buy a bidet.

I went to pick up some TP for my mother. The Costco 5 miles away had nothing, including no paper towels. The Costco 10 miles away had full shelves of Charmin and Kirkland plus paper towels etc. The guy at the first one said the shipment deliveries have been erratic with sometimes a full order and sometimes only partial. He said they would likely be fully stocked the next day or two.

Maybe people who bought TP last year had a little bit more foresight than previously thought

Last week, we were in Myrtle Beach. That Costco was limiting TP and paper towel purchases to one each. Supplies seemed low on these items.
