“Dad’s great, but listening to all that talk radio has put some weird ideas into his head,” said daughter Samantha, a freshman at Reed College in Portland, OR. “He believes the Constitution allows the government to torture people and ban gay marriage, yet he doesn’t even know that it guarantees universal health care.”
No, don’t refund her membership. Ban her from all Costco stores within say a 3 hour drive of her home but if she wants to drive that far one way to shop let her. [Narrator: She won’t want to drive that far.]
And if she does drive that far and misbehave like this, ban her from all Costco stores within a 3 hour drive of that one too. Eventually she’ll need to take a multi-day drive or a flight to get to a Costco that will let her set foot in the door.
