Costco has always invested heavily in thier workers. I love the place. Even the people selling the hotdogs are making a livable wage, and you can tell by how everyone in that store is helpful and nice.
Sam's club is the evil twin owned by Walmart. I go waaay out of my way to pass a Sam's club and shop at Costco.
I dunno Silmarillion was one of the driest, most awful books I've ever read. If i wasn't such a huge Tolkien fan I never would have finished it.
Shows great, fuck the armchair critics. If you don't enjoy it, quit watching it. There are always people saying things like, "I hate the show so much, the 15th episode was the worst of them all!" Go watch something you enjoy if it's that bad people.
