Coronavirus alert! Looks like someone rang the doomsday bell and South London has descended on Costco Croydon. Had to park right at the road side entrance and took a trolley to the main entrance because judging by the number of cars and people there weren’t likely to be any available. There was a team member sanitising the push bar as you entered which was much appreciated.

No sugar, no flour, no pasta and nowhere to park. Judging by other people’s trollies no loo roll either. In fact no room to reverse your car back out to exit the car park. Utter chaos.

Not even at Christmas did the lines to check out extend so far down each aisle.

Where has the Keep Calm spirit gone?
