I (an American) had actually never heard of Costco until I moved to Japan. Where I grew up we had Sam's Club, but no Costco, so when I got to Japan and the other foreigners were talking about how they love getting the chance to go down to Costco, I had no idea what they were talking about.

Didn't see a Costco in person until a few years later.

Sam's club is superior anyway. They have a larger and more stable selection at the same or better prices.

Yea but then you'll be supporting Walmart. So there's that.

You merely adopted the $4.99 rotisserie chicken.

I was born into it, moulded by it.

Why you didn’t see the $1.49 hotdog meal combo until you were a man.
