it's kind of genius when you think about it.... People wait on these long gas lines there to save a whopping $2-3, park their car and then hand Costco $200 in groceries and Made in China crap.
By the way, I'm guilty of being dump Costco prey too but its the $1.50 berry sundae and not the $2 gas savings. But it makes you wonder what it costs Costco to run so many gas stations at what sounds like break even. The little gas station guys retail operating an Exxon station or Shell must really hate Costco.
