| - Going there on Saturday evening is like paying a bad karma. First you need to chase and conquer a parking spot as closest to the entrance as possible (for sure you'll acquire a lot of unnecessary products "just because you are already in there"... and you wouldn't want to go back just for one thing...).
The next step has to be with finding where you put the membership card, after all, you don't want to piss the crow behind you who is making line just for going in... (do they give away free stuff, or what is the magic in there???).
You definitely can't go there if you are in a hurry or if you are hungry; you would hate to be attracted for one of those huge pieces of junk food and forget why you first went there...
I think that in this gray and sad warehouse is where I've seen the biggest and most heterogeneous crowd without being Holidays. Which doesn't make sense because lets face it: The ambiance is hideous... Is like if they were torturing your senses because you are "saving" money!!!
After surviving 2 of the coldest winters recorded in Canada during the last 25 years, I completely understand the importance of having supplies during that season. However, during Summer, we should avoid buying bulk produce and try to support local products from Farmer's Markets.
Plus, as consumers, we should make conscious choices about what we are really eating. Would you keep buying Salmon, even when you know it's been genetically alterated?? Would you eat a "FRankenfish"???
Are you going to keep buying those frozen crab legs even when it's known the specie is endangered?
I found a really interesting study made by Greenpeace org in 2013, in where Costco doesn't look good at all... The animal products they sell in bulk should meet ethical and ecological standards...
A paragraph of the study by GreenPeace:
[..."One of the most critical components of a responsible and ethical seafood operation is also one of the simplest: stopping the sale of unsustainable seafood. The Greenpeace seafood red list for the United States includes 22 different species due to concerns such as poor stock health, bycatch issues, and habitat destruction. Additionally, certain species--such as orange roughy, hoki, and shark--are considered to be more problematic than others due to intrinsic challenges, such as physiology, life history, and key ecosystem services. Red list inventory leaders include some of the most successful grocers in the
United States, such as Trader Joe's, Aldi, and Costco..'"]
So, summarizing, I don't like their practices...
