First it was toilet paper, now eggs

MONTCLAIR, Calif. (Gray News) – A viral video on TikTok shows customers at a Costco store stockpiling dozens of eggs into their carts amid the nationwide egg shortage.

The woman who took the video said it happened the morning of Jan. 29 at a Costco store in California. She said all the eggs were gone within 10 minutes of the store opening.

  2. A chicken sneezes and they decide to euthanize the whole flock.
    Stupid.
    Either the chicken dies or it doesn't.
    Breed the ones that survive for a virus resistant flock. Problem solved.

    1. One guy in Louisiana (not even a farmer) found dead birds in his yard, and an unelected asswipe dictated the killing of millions of chikins. If i remember correctly, said asswipe was just handed over to JAG...

  3. Saw the same damn thing at Costco with pumpkin pies at Thanksgiving. Two women (Is it them Yogi? It's always them Boo Boo) grabbed someone else's warehouse cart and loaded up all the pies as fast as Costco bakers unloaded them.

  4. Wait for the wailing when they figure out the eggs don't keep as long as toilet paper.

  5. The prices are so high some people are plucking a couple of eggs out of the carton, putting them in their pockets, go about doing the rest of the shopping and walking out of the store.

  6. I know in Canada, Costco eggs used to be great. They were far cheaper than other places and always a great size. That changed 3-4 years ago, at least in my observation. I've been buying mine at one of the local discount stores mainly and I've been much happier.

    Like all things Costco, you just have to pay attention and know what's a good deal and what isn't.

    1. I was in BJs about two weeks ago on a mission from my wife. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of buying a 24-pack of single-ply. Now she's punishing me by making me use it in 'my' downstairs bathroom. I still had half a roll of single ply left over from the Covid crisis of 2022. It was left on our front porch by a couple who are our friends as a joke. Whenever I'd run out of the good stuff, I'd grab it until I could start a new roll. It's thin as an onion skin and about 3,000 yards long. I have no idea how I'm going to use up 24 rolls of this. It'll probably end up in my will to the kids.
