So you're not against the freebie food, simply biased on quality and (ahem) fellow patrons.

You can imply what you want, but there is a difference between eating canapés and drinking wine in a nice shop and stuffing your face with chav bits in a dirty and cold warehouse.

Dear Lord, you don't want to be in the Costco in Markham when a free food booth opens, it's like being on the gangplank for an Air China flight. You're trampled by a stampede of yittering midgets.

I hate Costco with a passion, its a miserable experience. There's no windows for a start and there’s so much stuff there, piled so high you need a ladder to get some of the stuff. And there’s all those gluttonous people with smug looks on their faces filling with those massive shopping carts with five-year supplies of paper towels or artificial sweetener to stuff in their excessively large houses. Then the worst bit is the check out, No proper lines, snarling people pushing carts into each other giving people evils. Then there’s that little bloke by the door that makes you wait while he pretends to count all your stuff in your cart to make sure you haven’t knicked any of it. The whole things a nightmare. I wonder if they've got a Costco in Sudan?
Saying that there is still stuff I like in there so i tend to pick a Monday morning at opening time , grab my tenderloin and chicken breasts and piss off pretty sharpish before the hoardes get in :thumbup: |
Re: Costco
CostCo is pretty awesome, got a membership about a month ago. It is weird having to pay to shop somewhere, the idea itself seems kind of silly, but the membership has paid for itself already in terms of cost savings. There are some things to watch out for, the "Born 3" eggs, despite the name, are not free run/range, and a lot of CostCo's products are processed foods so you have to shop smart not to eat a bunch of chemicals. However I love their Garden Burgers and their frozen produce is very good too. The popular brands of almost every product is available there in bulk at a discount, including obscure stuff like active contact lens solution.
We now always get gas at the CostCo in Bellingham, WA which last time saved me $20 compared to Canadian gas prices. Also got a 24 pack of Corona beer bottles for $24 at the U.S. one, can't really complain about a dollar a beer! |

Agree with pretty much all of that plus the fact that for some reason here people seem to shop Costco in groups of bloody 10 - Turn do go down an aisle and you have a wall of people all with carts and kids heading towards you looking for the next freebie like a bunch of savages .

It's not lawful to sell free range eggs in Ontario. I imagine that's true across Canada.

You can only sell eggs if you know what the chickens ate. That cannot be the case if the chickens are free range (there is a "farm gate" exemption but Costco can't reasonably claim that.)
