Also worth remembering the privilege it takes to enter a Costco - you need to buy their stupid membership card, and now scan it every time you enter. Never sat right with me.

    Can't even share one card between all your buddies anymore since the scanners show the picture of the card holder. Total shit

    Being in Blue Man Group costume 24/7:

    Pros:

    • Saves on shampoo and conditioner

    • Being able to share a Costco member card

    • SPF 30+ so sun safe

    • Conversation starter

    Cons:

    • Being blue (da ba dee da ba di)

    • Time spent doing paint could be used for posting

    4 pros vs 2 cons, I rest my case.

    It's a capitalist solution to a capitalist problem - the problem of accessing the wholesale pipeline. It's obviously not this anymore anyway, but that's what the membership is for. You're buying at the "convenience store" level, but without the volume that's what the membership makes up for. Using Costco as your distributer is still a thing in rural areas, esp in Washington. Last time I was near Mt. Rainer there was a convenience store in the town that was clearly breaking up Costco packs, but they were like 1 of 3 places you could actually buy stuff.
