    My late Brother started his career with Costco in the mid eighties. He had a number of Medical issues in the 90's and 2000's. The Costco company was so good to him (and my family)
    He would succumb to cancer in 2009 and worked up to the last few months after diagnosis. The Costco people showed so much care and concern which made our lives significantly easier to deal with the loss.
    I will always value this Company for the Love extended during that time.

      If you watch the movie about the Boston bomber victim who had his legs blown off (Stronger starring Jake Gyllenhaal)...The victim was a Costco worker and they showed in the movie how his manager and Costco was there to make things easier for Mr. Bauman (don't look up pics of his photos from the Boston bombing unless you want to see hanging sinew and bone).

    And the best thing about Costco isn't the Hotdogs, or the food in general... It's the randomness of where the items are. It gets your brain active and keeps you mobile, while also intentionally drawing your attention to things you haven't heard, saw, or thought about and can get you to by it because of it's quality, and cost.

If Bunnings was more corporate feeling, many people wouldn't want to give their business and it wouldn't be as iconic

    Costco membership pays off very quickly if you have a car. The basic membership costs $60. At a regular gas station, a full tank for my car is about $60, but at Costco it’s 40$. After three pumps (three weeks on average), the membership price is paid by price difference. Also, if you get Costco credit card, you would earn a 4% cash back for gas purchases.

    You can actually get in to costco without a membership if you're buying liquor or using the pharmacy.

Only reason to take advantage of this would be to use the food court though since you need a membership to pay for anything else
