It's a regular market that serves the neighborhood. The old fashion kind. It's not a "super" market and variety is comparitively limited (you won't find organic milk) but the produce is first rate, the meat OK but limited.

Got iy. Low volume, getting by on customer loyalty. But it once was a 'supermarket,' in it's day.

Costco does the same thing,......AND they only use nitrogen to inflate the tires.

Best part is you can get a premium hot dog and soda for $1.50 while you wait.

From what I hear Costco pays their employees a decent wage and treats them good. Thats the kind of person you don't mind trusting to put your tires and wheels on right, as opposed to some poor schmuck that gets minimum wage and treated like shit.

As for Pete, he can continue to save a nickel and roll the dice.

In fact, I'd be disappointed if he doesn't.

I buy all my tires at Costco. I am actually thinking about checking out their vehicle program next year. I need a new truck.

I have a nephew in the Tacoma area who has worked for Costco for years and been treated very well.

When Florence's Impala needed new tires I took it to Goodyear. I also took a list of DOT codes so that I would know where the tires were made. Put on four Triple Treads 80,000 mile warranty 'cause she is the only wife I have, or want. Made right here in the US of A

I have bought several vehicles through Costco. I have never comparison shopped actually but it's usually $xxx over invoice and that's good enough for me. Fast and easy shopping with all arrangements done over the phone as to what and how much.

We olde farts been members since they were 'Price Club' and we still do most of our shopping there. Just voting with our wallets.
