The only naughty store I've shopped at is Costco, and I've tried to limit it.
Yeah, me, too. Unfortunately, there is no replacement to COSTCO, either at Christmas time or year 'round.
I am irritated that they are among the most ardent financial contributors to the DNC and all things "progressive," however. I've tried expressing the simplest of constructive criticisms to their so-called Customer Service, but their nasty responses are ghastly (so abandoned even trying to do so).
Their checkers are as ill mannered and inconsiderate as no where else I've ever encountered, and yet, there I am every month, paying many hundreds of dollars for staples and such.
I really wish there was an alternative to COSTCO, but even trying Sam's Club left me wanting.
I started to say "Merry Christmas" to a Supervisor at COSTCO just a few days ago when last I was there -- they'd overcharged me for, of all things, Christmas Cards I'd just purchased and I had to get this Supervisor to refund the difference (cashier wouldn't/couldn't) -- and at the start of the words, he glared a very ugly glare my way and I just mumbled, "happy holidays" and left feeling badly.
COSTCO is going to eventually lose it's high place among shoppers given how it's become mostly the Berkeley of warehouses, and the ONLY thing that keeps me shopping there is that there are no alternatives to what they provide: decent-to-great goods in bulk at warehouse prices.
