The Anti-Costco Movement

I would like to start a new movement against Costco. And by that I mean starting my own chain of stores where everything and anything comes in miniature sizes. For example, you would be able to buy toothpaste in half the size of a normal one.

One must wonder, if you see a lot of really fat people, I mean a fat family of five with a fat mom and a fat dad and three fat kids, walking around Costco's aisles, then you must think twice about shopping there.

No?

Yet many people go for the marvelous free food samples and as Firoozeh Dumas points out in her books, some actually eat lunch there. Well, a Costco employee called Ms. Dumas after reading that part of the book and said the annual membership fee that you pay for, that is for the samples.

Nothing is free in this America, let me reiterate the good old cliche.

Happy 4th.
