A Costco moved in down the road from us (Australia ) and we signed up - have had a membership in the past at one much further away but thought we should give it another go.

Won't be renewing, we decided we just aren't Costco people. It's so inefficient and backwards and has that Americanness that just doesn't suit us and I bet a lot of other Aussies.

Sure it's not dying off here, but I totally get what you mean.

If it makes you feel any better, Costco and Walmart also don't work for a lot of Americans in the US who don't like that inefficient way of shopping. You're not alone.
