I am not a member of Costco, but have gone there with friends on many occasions. First, I do not agree I need to pay money for shopping at a store. Do we pay a membership fee at the grocery store, Macy’s, at some restaurant, auto parts store, etc? Of course not. Second, being stopped at the exit door to prove I have paid for all my items with their receipt in-handand after I went through their check stand with them ringing up the items; ah, no. Third, when I want to purchase a package of muffins that are packaged as 6 muffins/box, why do I have to purchase 2 boxes? Now, I need to freeze some so they don’t get moldy before being consumed. Why do I need to purchase three or four large glass bottles of pasta sauce when I only need one? Fourth, why are they moving grocery items to different locations all the time? If I go to my supermarket for canned baked beans and those items are always in the same aisle all the time. Not Costco. When I asked that question to a CC employee, he said they want me to browse the store. 
I don’t want to browse, I want to buy and get out. That’s 5 reasons; again, the top reason — don’t agree I need to pay the boss to shop in their store.
