I don't get the point you're making here. How does that show us that Costco shoppers are fatter than everywhere else and all riding around on scooters because they are too heavy to walk?
That was Tommy's point. My aggravation has less to do with the size of the people and more to do with the lollygagging nature of other patrons who make it difficult to maneuver.
Also not a fan of long lines to pay.
But to say there are no scooters nor fat people at Costco is pretty silly. They're at Costco just like they are everywhere else. Are there more at Walmart? Sure, but there's also no cover charge at Walmart and while I'm not sure about this, I would bet there are many more Walmart stores in America.
I am member of Costco. I will go to to Costco. I just find it to be a hassle compared to other shopping experiences.
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.
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.
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.
