There is another box shop that I have a membership in. They would get more
of our money if they'd do something about the crap you have to go thru to
get out of there; and if you have something to return you don't get a bunch
of nonsense. I will not buy anything there that there would be a
possibility in hell that I would ever have to return it.

Just bought a new Portable DVD player yesterday at Costco. I would never
even be tempted at this other store. I have bought some very nice things at
this 'other store' but I never make a special effort to go there even though
we pay the membership (even at that, we get membership cost back, because we
do buy enough to pay for it.)

My thought always is, why the heck don't you guys get it together, you
almost make it -- but not quite.
