After my fiancé betrayed me and kicked me out, I was lost. While sitting on the steps with my belongings, I found a letter from a stranger asking for help. With nothing left to lose, I decided to find out more.
Stan, my fiancé, had been out of work for months, but when I came home after a long shift, I found him in bed with someone else. Furious, I confronted him, and within minutes, I was outside with my things.
Feeling lost, I found a mysterious letter asking for help. I followed it to an address and met Lorelai, an elderly woman in the hospital. She needed help with her home and offered me a place to stay in return. Over time, she became like family, and I learned to value myself through her kindness and wisdom.
When Lorelai passed away, I found out she had left me her house and garden, turning one of my darkest days into a new beginning.
Costco Customers in Turmoil Over Retailer’s Controversial New Policy, Outcry Erupts
The big box retailer’s efforts to cut down on customers trying to shop with other peopIe’s membership cards is not being well-received.
Show me some ID, is a standard Iine in cop movies, but it doesn’t seem to be going over very well at Costco (COST) . The warehouse club has been cracking down on people who have been trying to shop with other people’s membership cards. Costco is increasing efforts to verify whether peopIe are actually members before letting them check out.
We don’t feel it’s right that non-members receive the same benefits and pricing as our members, the company said in a statement last month. Costco is able to keep our prices as Iow as possible because our membership fees help offset our operational expenses, making our membership fee and structure important to us.
Costco makes most of its profits from selling memberships, not from selling goods. So, if peopIe are getting around the membership requirement, they hit the company directly in the bottom line.
