Now there you go, "Oddjob".... .. Now you're getting your head
on straight, boy...........
I know I'm gettin' old but I don't remember ever claiming an annual income here. Now, you're a wee bit high in your baseless estimate there but you're
not too far off. But I can assure you it's way more then you can imagine...... |
Maybe I can help refresh your memory. Perhaps you should look at your BK filing where you claimed to make $2,895 per month, which at 40 hours per week
is $16.70 per hour.

Costco in the US as Woosh said the Costco's in Ca vary from store to store I was amazed at the difference between the quality and or quanity of goods
between the two stores Costco Chula Vista and Costco on H street off of the 805 the one off of 805 is far superior to the Chula Vista store

They know. That's why if given the choice, most will endure the hassle to cross the border to shop.

True. I'll get clobbered for this response but: The Costco on Broadway is the closest to the border and has primarily Mexican shoppers and I suppose
mexican-focused purchasers for the that store. I've gone from the front door to the exit ticket checker without speaking a word of English there. The
Costco on East H street is in Rancho del Rey a very upscale mixed area, not frequented by the day-shoppers from TJ. They carry the better quality
items the wealthier Mexicans who live in that area and the predominantly upscale white customers who shop there want. Now I'm gonna run for cover...

Quality comparison is more of a "hands-on" thing. That's hard to portray on TV.
Anyway....I think the magnet that draws the Mexican shopper across the border is product availability and lower prices.
Even today, most of the Kirkland line of goods, with which large savings are realized, are unavailable here at Costco MX.

Wellll being as you started it I was told about the difference by a Mexican friend down here she related that she went shoping with her married
daughter who lives up there,she wanted to go to the Chula Vista store and her daughter wouldn't go her daughter said to her there were to many
Mexicans there.
I like the Rancho Del Ray store better not for the above stated reason but because it is a better store

You can go from front door to exit in any major store, restaurant chain, government agency or hospital in Southern California without
speaking a word of English.

... and I thought I'd be safe just not comparing the two stores customer behavior at the "road shows." In Rancho del Rey store (and most CostCo's)
people casually take an available sample and then wander around to shop until they hit the next one. At the Chula Vista store it is "feed the family"
time and it's hard to get your shopping cart around all the people lined up for those little toaster ovens to pop open.
They all pay their memberships and there is no shame or anything wrong in taking what is offered for free- it's just an interesting observation that
at one store it's a sample thing and the other it's enjoyed as a buffet meal.

Costco's marketing plan includes spontaneous purchasing by the member's. Giving away the samples is part of the marketing program, not to roll
inventory.
The difference between Mexico and USA for the volume is amazing. In Mexico most will pick up 3 or 4 items, the USA is carts full of stuff that
weren't of the shopping list. We used to call Price Club hundred dollar club, hard to get out for less then $100.00.

Doncha get it....
Yes but I could have bought the card cheaper and saved myself $20 regardless.. | Quote: | Originally posted by Oddjob

Hearing some complaints lately about the H Street store. They are moving departments around inside the store and it's hard to find things right now.
I think they added a new walk-through produce section at the back right of the store. Spent some time looking for that Kirkland Diet Iced Green Tea
and even asked a sales associate where it was and he couldn't find it either (was not with the beverages). I like it better when big-box stores
(HomeDepot, CostCo, etc) get merchandising format/layout down pat and keep all their stores pretty much the same- like most chain restaurants do.
Much easier to navigate and a consistent shopping experience.
