> You shift into Costco mode somewhere at the ten-minute driving mark. They’re always in far-off places, and so the last ten or twenty minutes of the drive feel like a rush

Or you just order from Costco as one more store on Instacart or similar, and don't make it part of your identity.

I have memories of a Costco similar to the author's, but I have no desire to ever go to a store again if I can help it.
