Half speed or less describes Costco to a T. People walk in the door with their basket and just STOP and look around in wonder. A line of people forms trying to get into the store. I'm a regular shopper and know what I want and want to get it and get out.Just got back because I buy their flavored water for $0.78. A woman shouted, "Where's the bread!? Before I could answer, she wheeled off, "Oh you don't work here."
Oddly, it was deserted and have never seen it like that. If I had gone to the Costco, there would have been long lines and people dressed for the beach, moving at half speed or less. It seems as if people are society en masse is movin' on up, as far as where they shop.
