Costco completely out of divination supplies, thanks to artist

I love this woman and I want to have her babies.

But seriously thanks for adding a little bizarre joy to our otherwise humdrum lives. This is the definition of the happy mutant.

You will just have to do your own ‘art project’.

:smiley: I hope not. I only wanted to point where the two readings of this come from. I, for one, just don’t see how this is clever. Those who think it’s funny seem to…

I would start looking around for the dimensional portal.

I hear you, but isn’t this more of a shot at the thoughtless people who are panic buying ridiculous quantities of bottled water, latex gloves, and hand sanitizer at Costco with no concern for others who might need also some of those items? I’m not ragging on you. I was apalled at the Costco near my house yesterday. Some of the people were being complete jerks-- at least two different families, while I was there had multiple carts, each loaded with 4 - 5 cases of bottled water and numerous boxes of latex gloves 8 -10 boxed, crammed into the open spaces in the cart. Just really bad, “me first” behavior.

I agree that taking down signs that are intentionally lightly taped isn’t that big a deal, especially if they have to go restock those shelves anyway (though it still feels kind of arrogant to make that decision for them without their consent). My concern is more the inevitable angry nutjob customers that are confused and offended by finding art installations where they were hoping to find coronavirus panic room supplies, because they will most definitely vent their rage at innocent employees.

True, but the same doesn’t apply to the Kirkland batteries.

I didn’t find the joke that funny the first time, and I certainly didn’t find it funny the 5th time.

It’s a dollar an inch.

Or other stuff:

I was sent to a Costco to see if people are stocking up (even though health officials say it’s not necessary) in case COVID-19 gets more serious here. This guy came out of the store with 16 boxes of condoms and a big jar of coconut oil. We all have priorities. pic.twitter.com/C3edUsgZzH

I thought the signs were real. I could completely see people seeking out magic supplies during the current Covid-19 crisis. Somebody has to try something. It’s not like the US government is taking it seriously.

Preppers who failed to pre-prep.

Once would have been the charm (sorry I did not intend the pun).

…already work at Costco. :slight_smile:

Can’t disagree with this.

My first thought as well.

I love harmless bits of culture jamming like this.
