Maybe not so much anymore. I previously thought integrity was taught but I'm beginning to think it is genetic. We have become more hesitant about buying things from Costco. We don't want jewelry some other moocher has worn unless it's tagged as used and a 1/3 of the price. We don't want area rugs or mattresses from there because who knows how the homes of these "return slobs" look like or if they have bedbugs. We don't want 3 months old TV's that have been used by product thieves. One can put lipstick and fancy clothes on a pig, but it is still a pig. An honest, under 5-7 day return is acceptable, the rest turns us off. May as well shop a flea market at that point.
