IF....if....if my title fits, only then are YOU the problem.
It's a catchy title though, correct?
Yet I'm totally serious and somewhat annoyed with what I witnessed first hand this morning. It was indeed just like what I'd heard from others and on the news.
In life I typically buy one package of 40 count bottled water at Costco. We don't drink it at home but none of the three of us are home for lunch Mon. - Fri. so we take it with us on work days. Historically when our household supply gets down to 10 or less I go to Costco and buy more. That's where we are at as a household today, so knowing that people are crazy worried, I went to Costco 40 minutes before they opened and was maybe the 35th person standing in line outside the store.
Sure enough, after I obtained my one package of bottled water(Costco's brand was not available so I got Poland Spring 40 count) I saw people buying the maximum amount Costco was allowing per customer. FIVE. The quick and easy math is five 40 count packs comes to 200 bottled waters. Almost everyone was buying themselves five 40 count packages..... enough water to last until August!
THEY are the problem. If you are doing that then you are the problem too.
STOP IT!
If people just proceeded with their normal purchasing habits as per usual, there would be no need for me to get in a line to enter the store 40 minutes before its posted opening time.
Seriously people, calm down!
