    What does Costco do with all the extra liquor space? That's like a huge corner of the store, here. Maybe you guys get extra rows of organic trail mix?
    Sam's and Costco both sorta kinda sell liquor here in Kansas, via an attached, leased space ran by a local third party business, complete with separate entrances. Stupid, and there's nothing to be gained for the consumer but convenience. No real savings, because the product is being bought and sold by the small business with the ABC license, not the national retailer.

      Well that's stupid.


      Not to insult Kansas, every state has their stupid quirks, this rates up there.
      There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.

        Yep. The overwhelming majority of Kansas residents want it changed, but the liquor store special interests have the politicians bought and paid for. It ranks right up there with ethanol on the scale of government-sanctioned rackets.

        The liquor store special interests have their canned, feigned arguments in support of the arrangement, but they are hilarious in the context of basic and fundamental economics.

They finally built a Costco closer to where I live and I just got back from a trip to Costco to only buy milk. As I was sitting here,I just thought, "I used to drive over 10 miles for milk, isn't driving only four great!" I then decided to ask the question.
            I drive 3.5 hours one way just for Costco. Try their pretzel rolls.

                You should try the organic trail mix.
