        I live in a big city. Walmarts everywhere. But for whatever reason Costcos were only built on the other side of town. Same with Ikea and Five Guys. I’ve never been to those. They’re here but it’d be going way out of my way to hunt these places down.

          When asked if you travel you mention they’re clear… on the other side of your city. I guess that’s a no. Being 50+, I’d suggest seeing some of the world (or at least some other cities in your own country) before the end. Live a little.

          Respectfully and curiously: How did you explore digitally, and end up here, on Lemmy, of all places, but haven’t ever seen a Costco?

            If I understand you correctly, I’ve seen Costco in Idiocracy and on the internet and have looked at them via Google Street view. But I’ve never seen one with my own eyes in the real world.

                Hahahaaaaah.

                Walmart tried to come here and lost. Das war sooo Scheiße.

                We’re Walmart AND Costco Free. No Carrefour, either.

                Where do you live? The nearest one to me is 10 miles away. Within that radius there’s like at least a dozen Walmart one of which is within walking distance.

                  I doubt there are a dozen Walmarts in 10 miles. Also 10 miles is an insanely small radius.

                    I just looked at their store locator. There’s 8 within 10 miles of me. Two of which I frequent. On the west side of town, there’s more than a dozen within that radius. That’s where most of the Costcos are too.

                  Respectfully, if u live with in 10 miles of a Costco, please go buy a hotdog and join the cult. Walmart/Sam’s just doesn’t hold a candle.
