Costco Selling Kirkham Cobras

[Rick Parker]

Can we drive it for a year and then take it back?

I have a vivid memory of Costco burned in my memory.....about 5 years ago I was eating a quick unhealthy lunch at a nearby Costco store. Nearby was the return desk. I was peope watching. There was a couple who had a matress on one of those orange 4 wheel carts meant for heavy stuff and I assume it was going to be returned. This matress had the bottom shreaded like a dozen cats had been living under it. My mind was racing at what thier excuse was going to be and how it was to be justified????? YUK

My son works at Costco. He has shared stories of a returned cake with one slice left and a near empty bottle of wine being returned. How bad could it have been if you consumed nearly all of what you bought. Regardless, Costco does have great products and reasonable prices with an extremely liberal return policy.

I'm pretty sure Costco doesn't intend on selling any. Just a promotion of sorts. What's gonna pop out at you? A pallet of socks or a shiney Cobra?

An old friend is a manager at a Costo in SoCal. He has all sorts of 'returns' stories. One was an empty bag of ice. Tasted funny. Money refunded.
Costco urban myths maybe?

... and I just "re-use" my ice. You know, just put the melted cubes back in the freezer and *poof* they're good as new after a while.
