Costco IS coming to Sheffield!

[khizman 10]

Whoop de do, hold me back, I'm so excited I think I'm going to be sick!

 

An enormous super market where I can buy anything I want!

 

Like town then. Oh but wait, that's in the open air and it doesn't feel like I'm buying my life from a fake shed.

 

Still, at least they'll be able to a) undercut local businesses (greengrocers, butchers, bakers) so that they all shut down and there's no choice but to go to places like cost co and b) dictate prices to suppliers in this country and abroad so that they pay farmers all over the globe a pittance.

 

WHOOOP WHOOP. I can buy my whole life from one company! All my money goes to one group of shareholders! Maybe they'll build some houses round the back and I can LIVE in cost co.

 

Jeez, what is it with some of you guys in this forum?

If they undercut them, give me one good reason I should be paying more?

They are advertising for staff in todays Telegraph.

 

Good promotion prospects too, after a year they give you a brush.

Is it legal to charge shoppers membership fees? I heard that Matalan got in to hot water about their one pound membership fee - coz in theory it gives them too much of a head start, ie what they make in membership fees from sheffielders in the first few weeks would probably buy them another store somewhere. Anyone heard about this? Seems a bit unfair to me.

Only if the Ikea owners want a peerage and donate enough money to Labour!

Are you feeling ok? why not use ur membership and buy a costco playmate while you type your joyful news.

We don't need a costco - we need an IKEA! How unfair

I'd rather have cheap food than cheap furniture.

Cheap food is just that - cheap.

 

I'd rather pay more for something that actually has a taste rather than water pumped chickens from a Supermarket.

they both do ,,, both, except in varying amounts.

Costco do lots of cheap food but less cheap furniture,

Ikea do lots of cheap furniture and some cheap food.

The ikea restaurant does full breakfast for £1 andd those kiddies meals for £1, which I usually buy 2of instead of an adult meal at twice the price.
