alt Hacker NewsCostco has become negative value for me compared to Amazon Fresh.
Amazon saves SO much time. Costco is SO slow, a preposterously slow experience. Minutes of ordering and unpacking Amazon Fresh takes hours for Costco. And the food is fresher.
It is dark patterns in retail embodied.
I hate their social media advertising. That is, they pay to tip the scales on algorithmic recommenders, they don't pay influencers or ads.
They really are the thing that Pixar mocks them to be.
Everyone has to stop going there and just buy this shit online.

Online shopping is a pox upon society
Why would I buy something from Amazon when it's twice the cost of the same thing at Costco? I literally make up the cost of my yearly membership in 2 months of shopping there compared to any other grocery store.
