Get people out faster, so they can get in faster.

Quite honestly we just need more locations, but with land value being what it is and our low margins, its not feasible yet.
Just stop the Asian from buying everything in bulk and you solve your issue. When you have people buying out a feel cart of makeup (I mean like every single bottle) you have an issue coz no else can buy them. Same with diapers, baby formula, chocolate. Just put a limit on it. It sucks whenever I shop at Costco and see a person literally taking everything for that one item.
