when you consider the setup and infrastructure going to and fro the mega warehouse of dry and perishable goods, also considering the required equipment, (a sedan, or large car) - It begins to become apparent the genesis of costco largely rises out of Americas car culture and suburbia.

Alternatively elsewhere, small shops, many locally owned, butchers, vendors convenience stores replace the existence of 'costco'

In these facts, I dont know if its necessarily a bad thing, but there is something empty, soulless and anti social about it.

Maybe a few grape tomatoes for thought between the world salad of this article, "cognitive pattern. It is a jarring thoughtscape, remarkably compelling and nondiscursive and utterly hard to shake." - That is what the author too is getting at?
