I think if you go shopping on the weekends it will seem just as packed as always. Might be a perception thing.
I prefer to do my shopping during the week when I telecommute (nice to get out of the house). Last Wed. Costco was practically empty, never in my life seen it that quiet. Maybe 1 out 3 registers was open with 1-2 folks in line. Most people were only buying essentials.
