Yup. Have you ever shopped there? I went there once, it horrible! People lurking around every corner shoving food in your face, being herded like cattle. I shop locally.

Whose side are you two on? Costco is union and the founders are just like Facebook and Twitter. Jewish and Roman Catholic liberals. The companies are run by liberals who want more than just your money. I used to shop with BJ’s and then you know I worked for Walmart but all the big box stores are run by liberals. Vee has the right idea. Take a hint from Vee. Shop locally and support your local economy, if you can. Farmer’s markets are always a good place to start and you can not beat their prices on food. God bless.

@Robert DinseYou got that. lol I am down to eating grits and grains mostly. A few beans too. They don't get much money from me. Now, if I resort to buying my grits from a local mill, they won't get anything anymore. And that is nothing to laugh about because I know of a local mill.

The stores here are still rationing food where I live. The warehouses are running low and are out of a lot or staple stock items. No toilet paper and not even a can of beans may be ordered from online stock warehouses. The local farmers market, where real local produce is sold, will not be subject to rationing like the big box stores or price gouging due to scarcity. Well, before you know it summer will be here and they will be open for you. I just hope I am well enough to go. Right now that is an impossibility.

No cheap products or "food quality" could get me to shop at Costco.

@Robert Dinse I live in Charlotte, North Carolina and I am still am employee of the largest Walmart I know of and I work in the e-commerce dept but I am out because I was injured on the job during the week of the republican convention here. The stock of many staples is out, and that is warehouses that server as distribution points for the whole southeast. I have been told by the higher ups that no companies may continue to operate like they are and you may expect companies to start shutting down soon. BTW Robert, my location noted in my profile and that makes me wonder if my full profile is visible to you. The reason I ask is your post showed up after Vee's and yours was not visible before. Your posts just showed up, though you posted before Vee it was not there before now. God bless.

@Robert Dinse There is much more information there in the left hand column of my profile that is not visible to you, there is a full written "bio" including my location and birthday. I guess that information is only visible while a user is logged into the same diaspora server, but I really don't know. I know I may see other profiles on share.naturalnews.com's diaspora instance, like Vee's profile shows clearly but not if I am not logged in to the same exact diaspora server as the other user. I may access any profile using a user link like: share.naturalnews.com/u/ross substituting the correct users name for the ending but again, unless I am logged in I will miss any profile "bio" data. Off topic: but I may not find my own posts by date or calendar, which such chronological search functions do not exist, nor may I search for any posts by using "keywords" or may I expect any answers to any boolean equations but I may only search for user supplied hashtags or for users by their username. That's all I know Robert. I guess the communication between Friendica and Diaspora servers, precludes any user biographical information from users profiles and is simply spooled or updated solely by means of atom or rss data feeds. Thanks !
