Old People Hour FOREVER!!

[susandennis]

For several reasons, my last trip to Costco was horrible.

Today was a whole new world.

I got there and waited in an orderly queue with a total of 11 other people. In the shade with a breeze. They opened 5 minutes early. No one was in a rush. The greeter said she love my mask (Mariners mask), I put my brave on and headed for the ice cream. I shared an aisle one time, the rest of the time, the store was mine.

I got ice cream and egg cookies and eye vitamins and drugs. I checked myself out. A nice lady taped my receipt to the front of my cart for the door checker and I was done. 1200 steps.

I'd be fine if they made old people hour a permanent thing.

I honestly think they should keep it. There is no reason not to take care of each other

i sent 'em a 'feedback' about it this morning - so i'm sure they will :)

The hour for seniors should be a normal thing. My mom has used it a few times and she said it was really nice.

I am not old enough for oldies hour here - it is for the over 70s. But I have found supermarket shopping in general is so much less hassle under the social distancing rules - occasionally I have to queue for a few minutes to get in, but otherwise there are quiet aisles and never more than one or two people ahead of me for the checkout - all of us carefully standing on our own marks.

I am hoping that only shopping once a week at most becomes the norm; I am going to try to stick to it. And I think having oldies hour regularly should also stay.

You, youngster, you!

I haven't been to a regular grocery store in months so I don't know how they are here. As long as the one good store here has free pick up, I'll probably stick to that.

But... Trader Joe's is different. I'm tempted. They have old people hours...

I'm glad it was such a nice experience. I think it would be nice if they keep doing it. I was in a regular grocery store Saturday for the first time in a few months and people were so obnoxious, I have no desire to go back anytime soon.
