The “Costco effect”. People are walking in this giant department store that is
changing the entire grocery industry. This new phenomena of bulk purchasing is
taking America by storm and also magically getting along with the American
shopping habits. Costco sell their items in bulk with no headlines or directions so
that their customers could walk in and get lost a\by wandering and buying items
they never thought they would buy. Costco only stocks 4000 items compared to
40000 in normal groceries. This is deliberate and is there for a reason. This is
because humans are naturally indecisive. In general if you have less options, you are
more likely to choose something rather than walk away. Nothing they sell is marked
up over 15%. This is the secret their prices are so low.
The criticisms about it are that the lines are long and sometimes you buy too much
