I actually discussed this with someone just a few days ago again the whole thing out there when the waitress says, "Would you like a coke?" And the reply, "Yeah, sure. I'll have a Pepsi."
Too funny. Don't know why that's a thing, or was when I was a kid. Definitely a regional thing. Didn't know they did that in the South, too.

I am nothing if not a product of So Cal and the South. So, yes, every soft drink is a coke. If they ask if Pepsi is okay, I will usually say, "No" and opt for a Pepsi-product - usually Mountain Dew (Originated with Moon shiners in Knoxville, TN).
As for the meat at Costco, I only know this: I worked with a guy - a very serious and solid guy. His father-in-law was a meat purveyor. He told me that there are true differences in meat, Prime vs. Choice, 5-star vs 1-star, etc. He told me 5-star meat goes to white-linen table cloth dining establishments. 4-star goes to less so. 3-star goes to chains like Chili's and Applebee's and most grocery stores. 2-star goes to discount grocery stores (like Food4Less). 1-star goes to prisons and institutional customers. Then he said to me, "Do you know who else gets 5-star meat?" He then told me it was Costco that also got 5-star meat.
In my experience, it is very high quality. I also have been going to Costco since it was a Price Club (before it was Price-Costco).
