Recycling at Costco

Hattie_post_grayEver wonder why all those odd-shaped boxes are piled up next to the wall on the other side of the checkout stands at your Costco “club” (how come I never see boxes that shape anywhere else)?

Well, I finally figured it out; finally saw through the scheme. It’s their way of recycling. Sure, under the guise of reducing prices, give all those boxes to your customers—who you don’t give bags to even though they pay membership fees—and let them throw them away.

I’m gonna have to check on this, but I bet there are none of those big metal garbage bins behind the club either, cause they don’t have any trash. We take it all home. •

A Solution for This Country

“I want to see us begin again. Let’s get out of these wars and come on back here. Take all the money we are spending elsewhere, trying to control other places, and start to rebuild the structure. Put money and prestige back into the schools. Start teaching kids in day care. Scientists tell us the earlier kids start to learn, the more capable they are of learning, and we are not taking advantage of that. We start there and we put ourselves back in the running.”
