I like the Costco phenomenon; that despite showing up five minutes before it opens on a friday, the place is still crowded. There is still someone buying a cartload of nothing but toothpaste. There will always be several people buying a mystery-meat-dog + gallon of cola. There is always someone hell bent on running me down in an undesigned parking lot. Someone will undoubtedly block an aisle with their lack of self awareness.

I love the Costco experience. I'll never have to buy aluminum foil again. I will always rest easy that Josh has jalapenos somewhere in his home. And whenever I need reassurance that I am not ready to raise children, all I need do is take my monthly trip to the Costco (or any big box retail store, for that matter).
