Even the gas is expensive. Especially if you consider idling in line for 30 minutes.
Depends when and where you go. If I see long lines for gas, I go elsewhere or come back later. Today I was through in about 5 minutes. Sometimes I get right in. And our Costco is super busy.
I guess Costco is trying to keep us bargain hunters from crowding the stores for the holidays.
Make sense - they get plenty of daily traffic just from any regular day. Having bargain shoppers litter the store would decrease profits by making it more crowded/difficult for the regulars.
Costco has a strong emphasis on only marking up their products 15% on average. If you're complaining about the prices, it's because it has actually gone up.
This year was shaping out to be the best BF with all the access inventory and glut in certain sectors. However, everyone is tightening their belts now due to macro and micro factors.
Shouldn't that have resulted in even better deals to entice reluctant customers?

Costco "sales" are a thing of the past. It's getting to the point where they cobble together some "stuff" just to fill out a brochure.
Apparently, Scrooge now owns Costco.

It's free enterprise and the sheeple keep voting for it - so stop whining.
