How is the overall shopper health and fitness? I've seen some bad stuff at Walgreen's.

I have no real qualms with IKEA, but someone on Twitter pointed out that all thier products sound like rejected Pokemon names
Also last time I went there I spent 3 hours picking out an entertainment center and almost murdered my wife, but the horse meatballs are tasty so it balanced out

It's like the KMart of the drugstore world...Walgreens is much nicer
Walgreens
CVS
Rite-Aid
nobody said there are "no fat people at Costco". pretty sure the ridiculous statement that Costco shoppers (including women and children) average 250 pounds and are heavier than shoppers at every other retailer is what started this whole conversation.

is it a living room, a courting parlor, a solarium, a study, a library, we just don't know. Why the cryptic designation?

shopping at Costco on the weekend is almost always a mistake.
if you go often enough, you can be in and out in less than an hour during a weekday evening. even better to go close to closing time as it's usually pretty empty with no lines.
I go there to buy a gallon of milk and some eggs when we are out. takes about 15 minutes tops.

Never go on Super Bowl Sunday. (duh)shopping at Costco on the weekend is almost always a mistake.

On the other hand, we went about a week before Christmas and it was a piece of cake.
Because we arrived about 6:30 PM on a Friday night. Great social life, huh?

. if I don't have the GF in tow (who is apparently genetically predisposed to touch every single item in their generally abysmal clothing selection...every time), I can usually hit the meats, veggies, and a food aisle or two (spices, condiments, etc) and be in line within 10 mins max. Like you said, outside peak times lines aren't bad.Did she smell like eggs?

To be fair to Tommy, his Costco (I'm assuming SE 84th?) isn't exactly in the heartland of physical fitness.
The one close to me isn't littered with fat people, but it is heavily populated by a certain ethnic classification of humans who fairly or unfairly have a stigma of being rather poor drivers. That stereotype tends to extend to their shopping cart behavior, which makes it rather difficult navigate at times. In addition, the general lack of awareness about personal space which some people tend to cherish is on full display at this particular Costco, which can be a tad obnoxious. I've been in mosh pits with less human contact.
I live across the street from a CVS. Super convenient if I need something fast, but I can't imagine shopping there on any kind of regular basis. All of the food items on the shelf are typically past their expiration date. There's no employees around and all the registers are self-checkout, so it's pretty fun when you're waiting in line behind someone who can't figure out how to use it. The markup on just about everything they carry is through the roof too.
Drug stores are pretty much the worst.

I've never been a huge fan of Costco or Sam's. The slightly lower prices on some things don't justify making a special trip when there are 2 grocery stores 1/4 mile away.

It's where I buy most of my beer and wine. Their prices and selection are ideal for me. I also get nice parking spot, know all the employees and never ever have to wait in any kind of long line. I'm in and out of there quickly and with the comfort knowing I saved money on my booze purchase.

But they're so nice to me there. And the grocery store checkout people basically spit on me and wipe their genitals on my grocery bags.

I like to take the kid to costco on weeknights when I need something (usually MEATS). He eats all of the samples and its like hey, free dinner for him.
Lines always seem long but move super fast imo.

Costco liquor store is cheap and super fast (separate) too. But, not many coolers...I think its just delicious Surly.

thank you. and yes to the bolded.
if you're not familiar with Portland, where GM lives is basically filled with either vietnamese, chinese, japanese, thai, indian or pakistanis that mostly work for Intel or they own their own donut/noodle shops and don't pay taxes. we call that "the westside"
where I live, "the eastside" is where all the meth, all the crack, all the hookers and all the fat people live. There is no middle class, you're either stupid rich and fat, or mind numbingly poor and fat, or about to starve to death rail thin (those people don't go to costco). If you like fat hookers on meth in the costco parking lot where you can ride your rascal up and have a transaction, the eastside is for you.

The Vons by my house is right across from a "Seniors Only" neighborhood (aka No Blood Alley). At least twice a month I am ask by some customer (who probably remembers when you got your vittles at the mercantile) to help them get something off of a shelf that's like 5 feet off the ground.

I actually go to Winco for my produce these days. Prices are out of this world and selection is pretty good, but shopping there can make Costco look like Club Med.

I like Costco, but I don't love the Costco experience. Going there makes me stabby sometimes. Too many morons who would rather kill you to get the last sample than have to wait 45 seconds for the next round of chimichangas to come out of the toaster oven.

This comment: If I asked a bartender for an old fashioned and they handed me a pint glass full of bourbon I wouldn't even be mad.
