Costco is a pain in the butt

I joined Costco because their ads suggested that i coukld save lots of money.

This has not turned out to be the case. They just don't sell much of anything I need. I don't need 48 rolls of paper towels or 40 bananas, and many of their food brands are much more expensive than what is available in Publix and other supermarkets, where they don't make you buy humongous quantities of stuff either.

last time I want there to buy some white T-shirts and a bucket of Meow mix. They had decided not to sell the Meow Mix anymore and had not a single white man's T-shirt in any size.

The checkout lines were 20 people long, but only two registers were open.

And, yes, after waiting interminably to check out behind fifteen women, each who seemed to be stocking provisions for her own private Bahama for the entire year, having some clown insisting on checking my receipt for the one inkjet cart I bought was too much, so I put in in my pocket, and was not asked to show anything. My theory is that if I paid for it, there isn't a damned thing they can do to me., except piss me off.

My membership was wasted. I should have pissed it away on Lotto tickets. I could have bought gas for less, but my cars are both Diesels.
