Not a concern I necessarily share.

Costco will never be fuller than full, and it was as full (or as close to it) on Wednesday as it is ever going to get. Nor was traffic really any heavier in any significant sense. I think Wednesday is the benchmark for low-season activity, both in the store and on the streets/roads coming and going.

Snowbird season? More traffic, of course, but comparatively probably no worse than any other snowbird season. Also, snowbirds, short-term renters, airb&b'ers, etc. are not really the type to buy Charmin by the case or most any other item in bulk, so I doubt that they will add that much more to the number of people shopping at Costco.

Of course, there are the chickens...
