Hello,

I’m glad someone else also finds Costco interesting at a cultural level!
I’ve written a critical essay on Costco, which will be published on a blog, and I wanted to ask if I could use one or two of your photos – they’re much better than what’s typically on the web and they would be useful to illustrate what Costco is for a reader who’s never been there. Thanks…

Hi Yoshi!
I’ll post the link of the photos in a sec! You stopped Twittering?

excellent post! there’s been all this love of the actual building, but i find it completely undermined by the OTT function of it all.

and part of me loves the idea of a flat market, where a diamond ring exists in the same place as 1kg tub of vegemite. but part of me thinks it’s all just a bit crass. i can’t explain it any more than that.

thanks for saving me the trip – turns out a costco is a costco is a costco the world over.

I could do with a bucket of vegemite or two, actually.
