First of all this is not a polictical statement nor do I want it to become a debate over 1100.
So today I went into Costco. I was stopped "yes off 1100" Guy. He was pushing their pamlets into everyones hands. He wouldn't let me walk by without taking one stating "Read it and get the facts"
So I glanced at it, and then at the sign. I had recently bought some Cuervo last week so I thought their prices were high as they quoted on the sign. And I asked about them. The guy got real huffy and stated that it was in the pamlet read it you'll understand.
Well the heck with that. I pulled out the cell and call my local store. Sure enough the Costco prices were inflated by about $5ea. The guy demands to know who i'm talking to. When I hung up I showed him the notes I had taken. Straight from the liquor store, would you like me to call um back so you can confirm it? He instead caalled a manager. when the manager got within sight he russhed over and started wispering to him, and panomiming a telephone call. and pointed at their sign.
The manager comes over without a word attempts to take me by the elbow and tells me I have to leave. I took my elbow away from him and told him not to touch me again. I asked why I was being led away. He stated that I was free to have my own opinions but that they didn't need me coming in debating them in their own store and that I was to leave.
I asked was this because I had proven their sign was incorrect?
"Essentially yes, it is, have a good day sir, please do not return to our store."
"So I am being forced to leave for pointing out you are using false advertising in your political agenda?
"Yes, now goodbye."
And that is after your agent wouldn't let me enter til he engaged me about the topic and pushed your paperwork at me?
"I didn't see that, we are just trying to make our point to benefit Washington residents"
"Could you provide me with a copy of the entrance tape where you took me by the elbow and turned me towards the door without my permission? You obviously did not have my permission to touch me or turn me or lead me."
"no you'd have to talk to a front end manager and you are not to enter our store again goodbye"
The manager stopped by the greeter and pointed me out then walked back inside.
So there you have it, if you disagree with Costco
