NO TIME FOR HONORING TIRE ROTATION POLICY. I COULDN'T DECIDE WHETHER OR NO TO GO TO COSTCO OR SAM'S CLUB TO PURCHASE A SET OF MICHELIN TIRES. IN THE END I WOUND UP AT COSTCO. I WISH NOW I HAD GONE TO SAM'S CLUB. I PURCHASED MY TIRES LAST YEAR, AND WAS TOLD THAT WITH MY PURCHASE I WAS TO RECEIVE A FREE TIRE ROTATION EVERY 5000 MILES. AFTER MY FIRST 5000 MILES, I DROVE OUT TO COSTCO AND NOTICED ONLY 1 CAR IN THE 4 BAY GARAGE. I WENT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD DO IT BUT THERE WILL BE A ONE AND A HALF HOUR WAIT. I LEFT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, I DROVE OUT AND AGAIN NOTICED 1 CAR IN THE GARAGE. I WENT IN AND WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE A ONE AND A HALF HOUR WAIT. I LEFT. THE THIRD AND LAST TIME I DROVE OUT 2 WEEKS LATER, THERE WASN'T A SINGLE CAR TO BE FOUND IN ANY OF THE GARAGE BAYS. I WENT IN, AND THE ATTENDENT WAS BEING VISITED BY HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER. HE DIDN'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WOULD BE AN HOUR AND A HALF WAIT. THE COMMON DENOMINATER IN ALL THREE VISITS WAS THE ONE AND A HALF HOUR WAIT! THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PLANNED POLICY PUTOFF! I HAVE TOLD ALL MY FRIENDS ABOUT THIS, AND I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW WHAT THEY MIGHT EXPECT BUYING TIRES FROM COSTCO. I SURE WISH I HADN'T!! TONY BARRASSO

Boxes of consumer goodies are stacked as high as the eye can see at this international chain store. In Short
Formerly known as the Price Club, this large membership-only warehouse is chock-full of almost any consumer product under the sun-in bulk, of course. With goods ranging from high-end electronics to outdoor furniture to fresh lobster, this wholesale superstore has got it (lots and lots of it!). While the high-volume and low prices appeals mainly to families and business, it's not uncommon to find college students trolling the various aisles for free food samples. The various membership options offer a range of plans, all reasonably priced. A word of warning to shopaholics: If you leave home without a list, you might spend more than you bargained for with all the deals offered.
