The only criticism I have about Costco's website is that if you leave a negative rating/comment about a product, it gets taken down. We've seen it happen.

Costa Offers Uninjured Cruise Passengers $14K To Cover Lost Baggage, Psychological Trauma

I don't know if I'd want to get involved in a lawsuit that might put the cruise company out of business? Even if you sue and win for $750,000 per passenger, that's $2.4 biillion dollars.

If I get reimbursed for my expenses and inconvenience, that seems fair....easy for me to say, since I wasn't there, however.

Are you kidding?

There's one near me and the parking lot is constantly full, but then I live in what you'd call an unsophisticated area, dining-wise.

But yeah, those alternate-reality commercials need to be shelved. Just be honest and show some kid slicing open a 20-pound bag of pre-cooked chicken.

Why The 'Check Engine' Light Is Stupid And Should Be Banned

I was always under the belief that the Check Engine light was a federal mandate in the first place, as a warning that the vehicle's pollution controls were malfunctioning.

in fact the EPA sorta hints that it is...can't remember where I heard it though.
