They were trying to buy it too; they just got out-bid. Costco's not going to put "20 items" in their stores; if you believe your "vendor who sell to washington state" on that, either you're stoned, or you're misunderstanding him. Have you ever BEEN to a Costco? This is like the people who were telling us that when Wegmans got the license to sell beer it would be all Bud Light. Well...it ain't. Wegmans has a fantastic beer selection. These places are profit-driven, and there's a lot of money to be made on premium stuff; that's where the market's headed right now. <br /><br />You're also suffering under an illusion: I'm not a reporter, this isn't a newspaper. It's a blog, and it's clearly aimed at one side (as much as the UFCW's site is aimed at the other). That said, I do try to look at both sides, but not ones that are made-up BS fantasy. "20 items or so," forsooth! If that happens, I'll personally travel to Washington and buy one of each, wrap 'em up in a basket with a bow and give it to you. <br /><br />If you want "the way of the future," it sure ain't the 75-year-old failed experiment of Control.Lew Brysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04084380741402026573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-78420756862844199092011-11-28T20:37:55.737-05:002011-11-28T20:37:55.737-05:00washington state was bought. and costco plan to pu...washington state was bought. and costco plan to put 20 items or so in there stores 20 items you kidding. this for a vendor who sell to washington state. thats not progress. modernize the stores because that is the way of the future. and as a reporter you should look at both sides and let the readers come to there own conclusions.tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032343094563647609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-591881213265091346.post-6379106898171600442011-11-15T19:30:52.039-05:002011-11-15T19:30:52.039-05:00are you as dumb as you look with a camera on your ...are you as dumb as you look with a camera on your head. the move to privatize is simply to put money in the hands of certain people. and has nothing to do with the good of all the people.tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032343094563647609noreply@blogger.com
