As vaccines continue to be distributed across the U.S., it seems like things at the wholesale retailer are getting somewhat back to normal.
Fox Business previously reported that Costco is bringing back its food courts and food samples, which had been put on hold during the coronavirus pandemic.
"Increased safety protocols are and will be in place, including all samples prepared behind plexiglass, prepared in smaller batches for better safety control, and distributed to members one at a time," Costco CFO Richard Galanti said last month during an investor call.
