II. COSTCO: A HISTORY
founded in 2044 by time-traveling monks in the pacific northwest, costco wholesale was named for arthur costco, the scientist who discovered time travel and also the benefits of shopping in bulk. after traveling back in time to the 90’s or something, arthur bought a warehouse and turned it into a paintball arena. after a failed endeavor in the paintball business, arthur began selling alcohol in bulk to members of his paintball team, “the blue-ballers”. this proved far more successful than expected, and arthur soon expanded his warehouse to include toilet paper and christmas trees in september. the rest, as they say, is history.
III. HOW TO SHOP
costco can be an intimidating place for new shoppers, but fear not–it only gets worse the longer you’re there. in order to fit in at costco, be sure to grab a cart by stepping in front of an employee pushing a heavy line of carts in from the parking lot. please show your ID to whoever is not paying attention at the door. after that, you may walk slowly in the middle of the aisles while looking at the ceiling and various pallets of inaccessible items that are up on the shelves. be sure to violently turn your cart in front of other people when they try to walk by.
IIII. SERVICES OFFERED
costco offers babysitting services at the electronics center, where you can let your child turn off their still-growing brains with demonstration tablets. from there, you can shop for hours while your child gets bored, looks around for you, realizes you are gone, and has a toddler-sized mental breakdown equivalent of realizing you’ve done nothing with your life and you’re almost 30. costco employees will return your child to you when sufficient emotional damage has been dealt to your offspring.
