Very excited about this, hope it's decent coke not cut with bullshit
That is just scary. I also can't imagine it being "affordable" long term or even up front.
There are people who would pay above market value for the area to live above a Costco. So maybe the initial plan is to make less than they could on the housing because the people living there are going to buy everything they consume from Costco, but at some point, they'll realize they can actually charge a premium for those shit holes and that's what they'll do.
So, I went to Costco yesterday.... left empty handed. Was going for my quarterly paper product run and noticed the parking lot was a little more full than usual. But I find a decent spot without too much trouble. Go to get a cart...there are no carts. Just 4 Indian dudes waiting where they are suppose to be. Then some carts come (maybe 12 of them) When they show up, Indians just descend on them like wolves with zero fucks given about who was waiting. Literally shoving past each other! I got a cart by the hardest. I go in and it doesnt seem too crazy. I make my way to the back and grab a few bottle of the Kirkland Pinot Gris (GREAT for the price!!!) and start making my way to the back corner where all the paper products are....only to see the line went all the way to the back, and then wrapped around the exterior aisle nearly to the front of the store. At which point I just left the cart and walked out.
No fucking way am I going to spend that kind of time in a line and not ride a bomb ass rollercoaster.

Yes most do. But only 4-8 of them. But the problem is that people shopping at Costco often have full carts. Its not like Wally where the person ahead of you is just getting a redbull and some scotch tape. Self checkout at Costco actually slows things down....which is why there are often employees at the self check to help you scan.
Careful now, no one's supposed to know the reality of how horrible Costco actually is!!

I've gotten 2 Costco hot dogs in 2025, and I have to say the ratio for Pepsi has been improved. Thanks Trump!
I have two Costcos 20 minutes away from me in opposite directions. One of them is a mobbed nightmare most of the time. The other one isn't too bad most of the time. YMMV I guess.

IMO There's only one certain time I'll ever go to Costco and it's after 7:30PM......typically way more chill and though lines at the check stand nothing like you described. I'm a lot like you I literally draw the line at lines. If a place is just so busy you can't even get your shit GTFO and find something else.
The price of goods versus the cost of going batshit insane around people = leave and just find somewhere convenient

Anyone notice the cashiers are pretty cute. Like 80% of them are small young perky females. Occasionally you get an old lady. But most are pretty tight.
I did buy some bagels and they got stale and moldy after a week. They were growing hair lol. Ya for bread I probably avoid costco because unless your gonna eat 12 bagels In a week it will go bad

Costco is GOAT.
I buy my chicken, broccoli and rice there. Grab a hot dog or pizza slice on the way out.
Costco water is cheap too so I grab 6 cases of it.

I guess the deal was they could keep their DEI as long as they brought back Coke.

Yep, I was mentioning that one day a few months back. Some guy who worked there was telling me that even a cashier or even the person standing at the door using the clicker to count people can all get up to $30/hour after being there for years and years. And they raised it to $31 recently he claimed.
Also after 5 years, you get bonuses. Even as a low-level employee who never moves up to management. And those bonuses, according to him, are $2800 twice per year. So if anyone wants to spend a couple decades being a cashier, pick that shitty ass store!

I just went to a Costco business center near work and what an experience. USDA prime whole NY strip for 9 bucks a pound. Going on Saturday to pick that up to butcher and freeze. Also they have cowboy ribeyes for 10 per pound.
It's like I've been going to some gay European Costco my whole life when this American ass Costco was just down the street the whole time!
