Costco's famous "trick" of hot dog and soda for $1.50 has been a success, with wide-spread acclaim. Also, their freshly broiled checken for $4.99 is a winner.

I don't mind the mixed and unlabeled isles so much, but enjoy visiting Costo as a social event, with lots of kids riding in carts, electric carts for handicapped, and people watching. Cost of Costco does include a $60 membership card to get that 3% discount. Price of gas at Costco is okay.

Even if you ignore the 4% rebate.

The drawback is that you have to get there before the store opens unless
you want to wait in a long line. Something I hope people don't learn
(they seem to be unaware of it so far): The hoses are long enough
(unlike Arco) that you can use the LEFT lane and still have the nozzle
reach your orifice.
