I've played betting games on this guy. John owes me a frozen ice cream treat AND a hot dog combo, I've won so many times. Great post! You're linked!

But going on a weekend, makes me hate humanity. Worst one ever is in South San Francisco. I have bruises from being in there on Sunday. The sea of asshats pretty much cured me from every stepping foot in that one again. I adore Costco. But going on a weekend, makes me hate humanity. Worst one ever is in South San Francisco.

I never go alone either. The Lion and I have a fairly good system. I stand off to the side protecting the cart, while he swoops through an area, and loads up what he can in his arms. Then we move to the next section and repeat. My biggest peeve is the free food offerings. Dear god, do people not eat at home first? Or is it just because it's free they all have to try it. Why oh why do they put the free food carts at the end of aisles so that you have to plow through all those sharks in the throes of a feeding frenzy? Seriously, nobody actually buys the food being hawked, so why eat insist on stopping to eat that 1 cm square of processed fake food? You absolutely nailed it! I never go alone either.

You need to write a book about the Costco Etiquette...it could turn into the new sex and the city for the Costco set. Thanks for the laugh. Mo…I am dying reading this.

Those who value their sanity and civility should not go there. Those with nothing to lose, do. Rational human beings who are interested in preserving that which is best of our humanity should make a point of never shopping in big box stores for they are inhuman; they cater to and/or turn us into greedy consumer-machines; they are a blight on our urban infrastructure; they maim and destroy not only wildlife, but also small business -- the heart and soul of the country. Where do their deeply discounted goods come from? How many third world people are exploited so we can save 35 cents on shoes? Who's cashing in? But, neh... that's just my opinion.
