Fuck Costco. And I mean that sincerely, fuck Costco. Any business model that is based on the need for its customers to pay a yearly fee just to get into the store can go fuck itself. I've never signed up for Costco and never will. However, I've had various family members and friends with memberships, and I've gone with them to the Costco stores. I've bought some things at Costco that were good deals using their membership cards. But pay to get into the stores myself? That I will never do.
