EVERY COSTCO around here could use a few less visitors!! I don't even understand how they keep items in stock there.

It took me 20 minutes just to return my vehicle battery core for a whooping $15

I mean I don't wish that on them but that place is always packed around here.

I recently had a freaking reserved appointment time at a Costco tire center to fix a nail I picked up. I still had to wait 2 hours, despite the appointment.

A tire patch kit is less than $10. You could have fixed that in your driveway in a few minutes.

It’s free at Costco, covered by the warranty on the tires they sell. I also just knew the tire had a slow leak, and didn’t know it was a nail until they finished the repair. If they weren’t so busy they would have finished before I finished my shopping.

I feel like they almost understand the role of immigrant labor and cheap imported goods in devaluing domestic labor, but they're misdirecting their anger towards victims of Human Trafficking Lite™ and overseas slave labor instead of towards the corporations that don't want to pay full price for domestic labor.

Nah, grifting others is their lifeblood.
Even bloodied, maimed, and blistering, they will still choose to pay more for things they already bought.

Costco exists in North America.
