Costco

Funny, it's not gallons of tuna, it's a package of many little cans! I love eating tuna, so it's one of the things I do get there. Organic carrot juice, Odwalla Orange juice, my yummy Pop chips, bbq. I do get gas there. I hate that $.45 surcharge for using my debit card, and then another $.25 charge from the debit card! None of that at Costco, plus the gas is less. I have a 'new' one just down the country road about 6 miles, and it's large, not crowded (except on weekends, but even then not as bad as other more urban ones) AND it's in a new complex with Michaels for my craft supplies, and a super Target. Now if only Trader Joes would move into my neighborhood!!

I like them for frozen fish and turkey and veggie burgers. I like just grabbing a protein out of the freezer, and they have some great varieties with real flavorful options. (just had a salmon burger for dinner - major yum!)

And, how's this for customer service. I bought a very expensive camera there in 2001. It broke in 2004, but by the time I got around to wanting to fix it, the company was bankrupt (Konica Minolta.) I no longer had the box or receipt.

I was interested in a GPS unit and had a question about their warranties. They said that for almost everything, their warranty is for the life of the product, but now, not for cameras and other select electronics. As an aside, she said unless it was purchased before 2007. I asked what happens if it was purchased before 2007. She said they'll take it back. I told her I had a camera that doesn't work that I bought back in 01, and she said I should definitely return it.

So, I just returned my broken camera for a full refund, no questions asked. I'm a fan for life.

That is why costco changed their electronics/camera policy to 6 months. People were buying cameras, returning them a year later, and buying the next greatest model... Same with flat screen tv's... The internet bargain forums were full of people bragging about what they'd done.

Well, now I feel bad. But, it was an expensive camera, and an hour before I was about to start a two week hike through the Grand Canyon with it, it just stopped working. Luckily, my BF had his (the exact same model that we still both use) so the trip wasn't ruined.

Oh, don't feel bad! You only did it once and the employee completely told you to do it.
