Costco in Canberra, really?!!?!?

Ok so I managed to get through the secret chambers of Costco today.

The only reason is because my dad has a card (which he paid $60 for) and in my opinion, waste of money.

Unless you have a family of eight, i see no reason why Canberra should now become another state of the US of A.

Hersey Syrup, 2kgs of Philly cheese, 1 kg apple pie, 48 rolls of toilet paper, a $500 bottle of cognac, an extra large pizza, jeans, diamonds... i can keeping going but this is some of what I saw... and quite frankly, I don't understand why we have a Costco.

The worst part of it all is when my dad went to buy something he used his card, and for me, I decided to pay my part separately (strawberries) but because I wasn't on the fancy shmazy card I couldn't pay separately.

Huh?

I am paying you for goods but can't pay for it separately? My dad is paid $60 for a bloody card to shop at your establishment?

My response to Costco, the customer is making you money, and you want them to pay on top of their groceries, the privlege of walking through a giant shed.

Imagine Woolies, Coles or Aldi making you pay for a card to walk inside a shop to buy theirm marked up to the hilt, goods?! Bugger off!

I say, bugger off to Costco.

Americans likes their bulk, Australians their quality. I didn't see anything of quality, just quantity today.

It was first visit and my last.
