OH MY GOSH! That was such a great short story. And I almost fell out of my chair laughing at the part that says: we are all members of Costco. When we got bought out, the owners were super enthralled with Costco and told us we would all get free memberships to Costco. I've used mine precisely twice in 5 months. To be fair though, it's over 30 minutes away from my house and my work, and there's only the three of us in my house. I'd be more impressed if they cut out the Costco membership and gave me back the health benefits I had under the old company and contributed to my 401k like they said they would in the beginning. Now they are saying, oh well, it's discretionary so we probably won't be contributing to it this year. Sigh. Thanks for sharing the story @@ you made my day! Kit
