Will Millenials Kill Costco?

handygal2 · ‎01-19-2015

An article in the Washington Post claims that younger people don't have the time or patience to spend hours at wholesale clubs, buying bulk items. They'd rather order them online. This is hurting sales at Costco, Sam's Club, and BJ's. The wholesale clubs have been slow to respond, but they will need to in order to remain competitive.

Here's the link to the interesting article:

Just my opinion but I think millenials are killing this country and every thing in it.

LIFE IS TO SHORT TOO FOLD FITTED SHEETS

Do wholesale clubs like Costco, Sam's, etc. have online ordering and delivery services? If not, they should be looking into it!

@Imaoldhippie You gave me a good laugh this morning. Each generation is different :-)

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

I'm at the tail end of the boomer generation and I don't shop at Costco or Sams.

@Imaoldhippie. What's killing this country ain't millenials.

Yes. But the online store is almost a different company than the Costco Wherehouse. An employee told me that the other day. I think you can actually buy things online without a membership card. My son is a millennial and still shops there and also goes to the mall. He is, however, an avid online shopper and prefers that.

Just was thinking the same thing. They are killing the universe. They are rude, think the world owes them for being born I see this wherever I go. Shopping, restaurants etc.

I hate dealing with them
