Talk about being ambitious I came across this earlier today, Wow.

It appears US voters hated Woke more than they hated Trump.

Costco be so empty tonight you could do back flips in the frozen food sections.
Entire areas where "The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Music" type twrillin' in the meat dept. garned no attention. Proverbial bowling balls in straight down the spice aisle.

Did everyone stay home to watch the USA election results? Well, I thank you for that. :up:
Regardless of who "wins" an election, they always are up against a Silent Elite. Do you believe the extreme poor who voted for Trump ever thought their non-profit support would be slashed right out from under them?

Are we Canadians that pathetic that we stay home to watch an American election that won't be decided until who knows when?
Sad.

:130: Nope, went to a pub in Penticton to meet up with friends. Hockey games on the screens.

The election down there is what it is, can't do anything about it, nore any consequences.

People still shop at Costco? Most things are overpriced there.

You must shop with care everywhere. London Drugs is a bulk buyer, so you'd expect competitive pricing. This is not so at all. Nivea lotion was $13.00 there and at Wally $9.00. That’s quite a markup.

At start of Kovid I went to LD for rubbing alcohol, normally priced around $4.00 suddenly jumped to $9.00
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Well you need to know your prices no matter where you shop but overall we find Costco's pricing better than most places and their return policy is better than all the rest.
If you think 7 years of bad luck for breaking a mirror is bad, try breaking a condom.

Apparently not. Some items in this comparison are almost half than the other stores.

That's the original Reveen's son.
Did you ever see him Gordon? I did, as a kid. The shows were hilarious. I went up on stage and yes, I did remember some of the antics I did.
