1. It's a fucking word, nothing more. If people think it's obscene, that's because |
|
they are dirty-minded.
Yeah, it may be rude, but I'm with the "kids" on this one. This is NOTHING but a power struggle.

3. Im interested in the Costco commentary |
|
I understand that Costco has a unionized workforce ?
I also understand they pay their employees quite well ....
I'm less interested in such 'guerilla sales tactics' than I am concerned about the fate of working families ....

4. I'm never setting foot in there again. |
|
That's how they afford to pay their workers so well - accosting the customers in person to pressure them into buying a $100 membership.

5. I've shopped at Costco for years. |
|
I have never been approached or asked to upgrade my membership, even once. As for tracking your purchases, every, and I mean EVERY store where you use a card does it. Grocery store, pharmacy, Best Buy, whoever.

8. They're phasic about it. They do campaigns a few times a year. |
|
What they do is, when you're waiting in line, they bring a manager over with the scanner to scan your goods and your card (which they'll always do when they're backed up). After scanning, you'll hear a pitch that begins with "I've noticed you still have a card. I guarantee there's either a spiff for every upgrade or some type of contest (or both).
Sams has a similar deal where the upgraded membership also gets you a slew of discounts on things you may or may not ever use.

10. But they flashed my total purchases for the past year in public view, and they |
|
kept persisting, like a telemarketer, even after I told them "no" three times to the woman's face.

6. If the Dems do it, it's bad, but |
|
It's OK if you're a Republican.
