A bigger problem is that Costco?s primary market of upper middle-class suburbanites is aging out, and their kids are moving into smaller city dwellings, often without cars.
The same efficient marketplace that led to its success is killing the sales and middle management jobs it needs to keep selling.

:wtf:

Several opinion based statements in this article, and this is just one analyst opinion which they are entitled to. I am not allowed to give out information, yet....not the first analyst to give an unfavorable report through out the years......

I absolutely love Costco. That said, today at the checkout the gal said it was company policy to not allow more than one transaction unless I was a business level customer.

I know it is not the poor cashiers fault but I had two items. Flowers for my inlaws, the other was office supplies that I needed to expense. I am not allowed to turn in receipts with personal items.

I've done this multiple times at Costco in the past. (Almost every time that I am there.) It has never been a problem in the past.

Oh well, it is still BY FAR my favorite store and I've bought a few big ticket items there as well.

Keep up the great work Betone!

Well kind of. I do absolutely love my inlaws. I hit the lottery there. But today is their anniversary and I knew my wife was headed to Costco today for flowers. I had to go get the office supplies anyway. So I figured I could save her a trip.
