3. Yeah right. Costgo is exactly like Russia. Don't be daft. And it is not as if they are the first

membership warehouse store. The concept has been around a long time. They have good prices that are competitive with Walmart even with the membership factored in and they treat their workers way better than Walmart does.
5. I have no idea but it is not as if there aren't other places to get gas. Costgo almost always has
lines even without an emergency because of significantly lower prices so I would not think it would be the first choice anyway if there were a real shortage. When there is a real shortage people tend to go for shorter lines rather than saving a few bucks. Least I would. My time is worth more than waiting in line for a half hour to save a couple of bucks or less on a fill up (figuring 20 gallons x 10 cents a gallon - about the maximum cheaper that Costgo is in our area). Besides, is it fair to the members to waive the membership requirement if it means the members will have to wait longer and Costgo is going to run out of gas more quickly? I don't think so. Furthermore anyone can sign up to be a member on the spot by going into the store and paying the membership fee.
6. No long line at my costco in south metra Atlanta - NO GAS !!
The knee jerks that live around here bought out every 5 gallon gas can they could get and hoarded the gas. I believe there's only one Marathon in the whole north end of this county with gas and that's premium.
