 Maybe Costco could stage ball games to make the food more palatable?

 When I've been there (not for a couple of years, so my info. might be out of 
 date) I figured that so long as I was paying for overpriced food I might 
 as well use the Saag's stand, which had pretty good dogs. 
  
 As to the comment about the variability of Kirkland's food products, 
 isn't that reason enough to object to them?  (Not that it matters a 
 great deal to me -- I rarely feel a need to eat while at Costco, unless 
 I'm in a long wait for tire replacement.)
