Valentine's Day in Costco (formerly Price Club) . . lots of last minute shopping?!?!
NAH! This is just a typical Saturday afternoon!
Just thought I'd do something other than candy & flowers
I've got MY valentine EVERY Day =D

Does look like "ours" too. Did you buzz up to Arlington for this shot?! Very typical of our checkout "lanes." Are you really this tall or did you hold the camera over your head? My groceries arrived Saturday morning. Home delivery and internet grocery shopping are great when you don't have a car.

LOL - ours too. Great shot Pete!

Looks exactly like our local Costco.

My work takes me into Costco. Never seen it quite as busy as this! Good photo

Costco is an awesome place! Wonder what everyone is doing out this morning! By the way, exams aren't over yet, but I'm taking a break while we have a long weekend!

Malls - I like them emptier - so the queues will be shorter - but where is the picture of your new car?

Almost as many people as in Best Buy today. What a zoo.

Costco is a zoo. On the other hand, when I had two in diapers and one on formula, it saved a good $150 a month. Two little boys, dirtying the diapers...we're talking volume here.

Yea, I agree with Ray. Costco frightens and confuses me!! But where else can you buy a 10 pound container of Nutmeg, I ask!!
Guest 15-Feb-2004 01:49
Does not look like fun to me!

I Love to hate Costco.

Very interesting shot of contempory life! Now I remember why I prefer to order things over the internet...

Never been in Costco, although I think there are a few in the UK. The place looks awful and functional, but you have captured that feeling here. I think shopping should be a pleasant experience, as its an important part of your life. I prefer to shell out the extra pennies and get a small degree of comfort from this necessity.
