[QUOTE="Steely, post: 182611, member: 3301"] Or, is it a glimpse of American life through rose colored glasses? How realistic is the image Costco portrays on a Sat morning? Couples hand in hand, buying wines, cheeses, and appetizers for their get together in the evening, or burgers for their neighborhood cook out. Couples combing the book section talking about titles they love, kids giggling that they love their daddies, or begging their daddy to push them down the aisle. A husband trying to help his wife find the feta cheese, which they are apparently out of. So much love, happiness, respect. So many happy families. Meanwhile I also cannot find the feta, but have no one to ask but the deli guy. I busted my lip open on the cart trying to hoist the 30lb dog food into the cart, which produced instant tears. And I couldn't help but notice that I happened to be the only single person except the older lady handing out samples. How well does this snapshot of life represent the world we live in? [/QUOTE]
