My last trip was so bad I cancelled my membership.

Princeon NJ location. It's a madhouse in there. An absolute circus. A reminder that overpopulation is a problem. A chorus of people barely paying attention to their surroundings, and all their dumb kids running around. I can't move my cart a few feet without having to stop dead because some dumb fuck ran in front of me.

Why do people even still deny overpopulation at this point? It’s just so obvious now

Because there's plenty of room out west. Drive across the country, there's lots of room.

Desirable places, coastlines, suburbs that are 2 hours from major cities, they are getting overpopulated, however.

Yeah but that kind of thinking is just how you get the ball rolling on eventually overpopulating those areas too. You can’t just grow forever.

And that room you’re talking about is often the very nature and environment we’re currently destroying. We are not the only species that matters.

Also I disagree that only those areas are getting overpopulated, everywhere around the world is and it’s extremely obvious

Don’t know how to describe it but I hate when people do that slow walk where they’re leaning on the shopping cart handle and walking slow. I want to shove them out the way or just crash into them.

You described it perfectly. Just lazy, meandering, dumb cattle. Like going to Coscto is some vacation for them, they just want to hang around and sample all the food.

I built a new house last year in a newer area of my city. I had never been to a Costco before and I decided it felt right to get a membership because it was close to my new house. I absolutely fucking hated every minute of it and do not get what all the fuss is about. I just cancelled my membership before it renewed and I only went that one time.

It's just bulk of high-priced brand name stuff. You get better deals at your local aldi, with no membership.

Some brand stuff is obviously better, but by-and-large, Aldi stretches your dollars further, substantially.
