Would you attend this church?
I have a love/dislike (hate’s a strong word) thing going on with Costco. They offer some unique products and services, yet they sometimes seem to have their best interests in mind, not yours, which isn’t always so appealing.
It got me thinking… if Costco was a church, would I want to attend? Consider…
- You have to pay to get in.
- Once inside, there’s usually no one available to assist you or answer any questions you may have.
- It’s not uncommon to see large lineups of people waiting to leave, and you get funneled and crammed through like cattle.
- You have to face another line up on the way out so they can inspect you to ensure you haven’t stolen anything.
In addition to that last bullet point, they used to have a sign posted informing folks the reason they stopped you and checked your items was to make sure you received everything you paid for, so I could have added they insult your intelligence by lying to you. (I think some people were insulted, hence the removal of the sign.)
On the plus side…
- The parking spaces are nice and wide (rare these days).
- It’s spacious inside – you don’t feel cramped (until you leave).
- They usually offer things you can’t find elsewhere.
- The eats are pretty good there too. (That’s just my opinion.)
