They wrap around the building. First hour on Thursday and Friday had 800+ people, they had cops guarding the shitpaper and stopping fights.
In the middle of the day when we're getting trucks (we night crew people are used to 2-3 a day, mostly after the store closes, but we've been getting 5-7 and have no choice but to take them when the store is open and run product out to keep the receiving dock clear), people will go to the back of the store to see if it had any paper on it. According to the boys in cart crew, those people are just waiting in the parking lot for those trucks to show up.
If there is paper on it, they form a mob at the dock and we have a team back there unwrapping pallets and handing them off to prevent riots. After the initial pallets get unloaded, it's easy to get people to line up until the next one comes off the truck: https://imgur.com/a/AN1O5EO
That's just what was left after 20 people tore the initial pallet apart in under 30 seconds, and the line grew bigger after I stopped recording. Word that we had paper spread through the warehouse faster than the virus.
I'm worried about the employee shopping day. They're going to open up two hours early for employees only, but penetrating the line and getting through the parking lot with our paper might be dangerous.

Lol, almost every Costco is the same. Some have lines going out into the street instead of wrapping around the building though.
How long are the lines outside the store? I've seen some pretty crazy videos
