Costco takes the customer is always right and can always return something they are unhappy with approach. Half eaten package of broccoli that you let go bad in the fridge? Returned. Christmas tree on December 26th? Returned (although I think they stopped this one recently). At one time they even allowed no limit to the return of electronics, but that is now limited to 90 days.
Outside of this hoarding pandemic you can return a half used package of toilet paper.
I'd certainly hope so, but I've seen, pictures mind you not in person, people bring back cases of rotten meat because their freezer died and xmas trees that are completely dead, dry, and brown. So...

So I wouldn't put it past someone shudder saving their used TP...

For the last couple of weeks, we've been trying to keep to one store visit a week on good general principles, as that seems to have been the rule in other places successfully containing the outbreak.
Costco has the most efficient packaging and least cost for the fresh grocery items we need to get regularly. It's obvious larger households have already been making the same calculation.
When we visited early in the morning this past weekend, everyone made a beeline for the restocked toilet paper. It was gone quickly with maybe twenty families in the store, again emphasizing the impression of shortage.
But now, there's a state emergency order mandating that everyone should only shop weekly. I don't know how Costco's supply chain is going to handle that.
I would like to see them donate it to those in need...but given the type of people that do the mass-hoarding of TP it's unlikely they would consider donating. :-/

It would really help if they sold toilet paper in quantities smaller than packs of twenty rolls.
Indeed. Their full name is even Costco Wholesale. They sell to consumers but businesses are their intended market.

It's really only the unused half they'll take back though, isn't it. ;)
