I was at Costco on Lawrence yesterday at noon buying 26
pounds of mayonaise and could swear that the entire Bay
Area took a day off work to go shopping. The entire
17 acre parking lot was full.

The California assembly just approved a Bill outlawing
new Costcos, so that Mom and Pop stores (like Safeway and
Lucky) have a better chance of making it.

Personally, I would rather read consumer reports and
buy my vaccuum cleaner from the huge box store rather
than Mom n Pop. I bought my last unit from Mom & Pop,
was lied to, and taken to the cleaners.
