Our Costco’s are full of welfare folks. They bring all of their kids and grand parents, and a person should forget about trying to get a sample.
When I was a kid, you had to be 10 years old to even go into the Commissary with my parents.
One of the few good things about Covid lockdowns was Costco limited a visit to 2 people per family.
The Costco nearest us went full mask-Nazi during the Covid hysteria, so we didn't go there for well over a year, until they gave up the mask nonsense. We survived somehow.
