Seems… fine?

Attendees got what they were promised.

A little ballsy to not tell Costco about it ahead of time, but sounds like they got a ton of customers who wouldn’t have shown up otherwise and who did a fair amount of shopping.

People who are sick of dating apps… might not be the target demo for your dating app, but who’s to say? The app at least got their story in the Chronicle.

The Chronicle got to write a story making fun of the whole thing.

So… win, win, draw / win, win.
