Walking into Costco at 9 a.m. as an Executive member feels like entering a parallel universe—rockstar parking, empty aisles, and a checkout line that’s actually non-existent. Since the new early hours kicked in, some shoppers are breezing through their weekend errands in under 20 minutes, calling the experience “beautiful” and “relaxing.” But this quiet shopping perk comes at a price: Executive memberships now cost $130 a year, double the standard fee. Meanwhile, regular members are left waiting outside, sometimes unaware of the new rules. Is the extra cost worth the peace and quiet, or does it just create more divide among shoppers? #Business #LocalBusiness #CostcoLife
