Of course, Costco maintains a record of every item you've purchased in their database. The attitude that the customer is right seems to prevail there.<BR/><BR/>The other price club (mentioned in leet speak above) does _not_ support that same policy, even though they also maintain a record of all items purchased by their members.Lars Rasmussenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02436107799416632673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20014007.post-49495048723811651612008-05-15T17:38:00.000-06:002008-05-15T17:38:00.000-06:00Great find.
