executed once they turned 60
Admittedly, I generally shop at Costco during what some people call the “working hours” so the aisles at those times are filled with a grayer shopper and tourists, but all this talk about the disintegration of our honored kupuna (which again admittedly, I brought up) should be ignored. There is no connection between Costco and all this ageist discriminatory banter about a specific group of people being a burden on society. Costco should not be used as a targeted proving ground for baseless theories by younger people looking to play the blame game. When I grew up I paid $.25 for a cup of coffee. Not $6.00. I saw Joni Mitchell for $3.00. Grateful Dead $3.00. Genesis with ONE HUNDRED 747 JET LANDING LIGHTS and a laser show, $3.00. Not $hundreds for a concert. That’s why I could afford to buy a house, plain and simple. (Oh and influencers! Don’t get me started on influencers! For what? “I looked at 20,000 shirts on Amazon and picked out the 10 best FOR YOU.” No you didn’t. I read the small print. With my handheld magnifying glass that I received as a FREE thank you gift for joining AARP. “A commission will be paid….” I don’t need to hire someone to pick out a shirt for me. If I want a shirt I drive to Hilo, to Liberty House. Because the quality and style of their shirts will never go out of fashion.)
“Welcome to Costco. I love you.”
I love you too Costco. I just wish we could become even closer. In Hilo?
