The "new speak", a pound of coffee is actually 12 ounces, LOL !

Heard of any incentives for new members like B.J.' s offered when they opened ? Perhaps only offering special breaks to those in immediate Clermont area ?

Not true. All TP has always been at most, 4" wide. Costo's Charmin brand is 4 1/2" wide. I've been purchasing this Charmin at Costco for at least fifteen years, maybe more. That extra 1/2" keeps the TP from sliding side to side on the TP holder. I've been very spoiled all these years.

They don't have to.

Incorrect. You can get a $30 gift card for new membership sign up.
