Costco, maybe dated, possibly revealing?

Some of these discontinued items I understand. Others might be bending a knee to the bunny huggers and woke mafia. Maybe nothing more than corporate submission to the "new normal"?
Arrivederci gigi

Oh yeah, they seem to have become pretty "woke". We were really disappointed to see that happening. Our membership expired, and we are good with that.
Haven’t been to a Costco since n over a year. I agreed to leave because they insisted I wear a mask when there was no government dictate.
Won’t be going back.

I may have been in once some years ago as a "guest" and see no need to go back
Costco large/ bulk quanity no longer makes sense for us
Give us Winco
I can't disagree Joe. We buy certain items there still. Water, paper products, some frozen foods, juices, pickled veggies, mama lil's peppers (yum!), liquor,etc. The majority of our day to day grocery shopping is done at Winco.
Costco is great. Gas alone makes it worth the trip.
If people wish to spite their own wallet because Costco quit selling sheet cakes and polish sausages, they are free to do so.
I have a family of 5 with 3 boys.
I go there almost every Friday.
Winco, we love it when we can get to a Winco.
I've never been inside a Costco, or a Winco, and it's been over 30 years since I've been in a Sam's Club.
I have a serious problem paying some company to take my money, if some are happy doing so...so be it, it's just not in my DNA to do so, I'd rather the local Mom & Pop get it 😊

Back when boys were playing Youth Soccer we helped good friend make the "Sam's Club run" for the concession stand.
Should have calculated how many million calories we hauled back each trip ;)
Haven't been back since.
Been going to Costco (Price Club) since Sol Price owned it, off of Morena Blvd.
Now the nearest Costco is just 2 blocks away, and the car wash is the cheapest in town.
To bad they only sell the the bad gas with the corn liquor added.

We've had no "problems" with Cosco and use it very often.
We go every few weeks. Not sure I buy it, but I did read that they sell over 1/4 of the US alcohol. The Kirkland brand scotch ( is very good when you find it. Good wine prices too.
Wife buys stuff too! Lol
I didnt much care for the blended scotch. The blanco tequila is good as is the canadian whiskey and their spiced rum puts sailor Jerry's and captain Morgan's to shame IMO. Especially at less than $25 a 1/2 gal.
That's my story, also. I detest having to buy a membership just to shop in a store.
All three vehicles have V8 motors. 10, 14, and 19 mpg. By getting gas there we save the annual membership fee early in the year and the rest is gravy.
I still shop there. I just walk past the mask police with no mask and tell them they're being dumb and they let me in because I'm a paid member and there isn't a single thing they can do to force me out anyway.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And the Mask Police will go to jail.
