    They didn’t “convince” me of that. I’ve looked at their earnings report and could see that their profits are roughly the same as their membership revenue. They convinced me to buy a membership by having lower prices than other retailers so I buy most of my dry goods, electronics, and other sundry goods from them

    My wife and I saw how much we were spending there annually and realized that an executive membership would pay for our annual fees in the rebate we’d get each year, so it made the membership essentially free. I’m not a sucker who got tricked into some “scheme”. I’m maximizing my purchase power, you dolt.

      ☝️The capitalist’s wet dream 😂

      The normal supermarkets gouge you for every penny, so you now believe that you’re being gouged less by paying an annual fee

      Fuckin hell mate 😅
