Costco Love

Today at work, a man and a woman walked into our office holding a box of cookies. I knew right away it had to be a trick. As it turned out, they work for Sam’s Club and were going around to businesses trying to get them to buy a Sam’s Club business card.

They told me all the reasons we should get a Sam’s Club membership, and they all involved Costco. They are $15 cheaper per year than Costco, they are open 3 more hours every day, and their office supplies are cheaper than Costco’s.

I told them I would pass the information and catalog along to our office manager, who was out of the office. They left me with the box of cookies and went on their way.

And I’m sorry, Sam’s Club people, but no matter how many hours you are open in a day, or how cheap your membership is, I will never think you are better than Costco. And I made that judgment based solely on the chocolate chip cookie(s) I ate today. Costco’s cookies are amazing. They can pass for homemade. And you, Sam’s Club cookie, might as well be from Albertson’s. You heard me–Albertson’s. The grossest store bought cookies known to man.

You see, you need to consider important things like cookie taste when faced with life changing decisions such as this one.
