As soon as they find that out they'll close down in fear of him coming in with every coupon/discount available ;)

That's what I'm thinking.

A CostCo exec probably lurks on AT and GottaDeal forums and knows I'm their #1 pimp.

Damn - I live 2.6 miles away and didn't even know it.

Wanna swap houses?

Funny thing is, when I lived in Wilsonville, they built a CostCo there. Now, I'm in Hillsboro, and they built a CostCo there. I think I'll start taking offers from people who want a CostCo near them. Pay all my expenses, and I'll move near you. CostCo should soon follow.

I've gotten lost going from Fry's to CostCo in Wilsonville. I went on that back road and forgot to make a turn, ended up like in N Wilsonville or something.

I drove by there twice tonight. The place is FFIZUCKING HUGE. :shocked: The traffic was UNGODLY HORRIBLE. My mother works across the street and it's going to be murder for a week or so to get to work. The place is doing a grand opening ceremony tonight and the traffic was backed up LITERALLY for miles. It's already dark here at 6 or so, so there was a steady stream of non-moving white lights coming toward me on my way home and a sea of red behind me. Once I got past the intersection for the place, I was fine, but before that was a MAD HOUSE trying to get anywhere. I don't know how the hell Hillsboro declined Walmart at a larger intersection because of traffic problems but let Costco settle on this small intersection with no problems. What were they thinking?

It's INSANE.

Traffic is bad all the way back at 194th & Cornell, by the Streets of Tanasbourne. And I was going to go to WinCo later, guess that can wait until WAY later.

no ****** and hillsboro's got to be out of their MIND of they think one single drive way on two sides of the block is going to cut it. You pull off of Cornell onto this tiny ass road to get to the main entrance. Hillsboro's city planners are friggin NUTS!

That's awesome.

I'll definitely have to get a CostCo membership since I'm going to be out there for work now. I've actually never been to one, so that would be cool in and of itself. But I'd like to see what their prices are like too.

It would be nice if there was a Costco closer than NYC.
BJ's Wholesale Club is good but we also have Sams club here. I'd trade those overpriced Sams Clubs for Costcos anyday!
