> The bakery muffins really are smaller now than I remember them being as a kid

Costco bakery muffins are HUGE. If they're smaller now than they used to be, I'd argue maybe that's a good thing.

> They’re always in far-off places

My Costco is only about 1 1/2 miles away. Literally walked there for lunch once.

> the building, an aircraft hangar–size warehouse spectacle operated very much in line with casino design: a place with no outside source of light

Odd, the author mentions living in Portland, and every Costco in the Portland metro area has skylights.

> They’re always in far-off places

That's yet another thinly disguised case of punching down: the author wants you to know that they are not the type of person who lives close to a Costco, typically in the suburbs. This author's attitude is so tiresome.
