Yeah, sorry, for trying to bring the audience into a well-meaning smile at your predicament this is up there with "Wry observations from my 5-hour sitdown at McDonalds".

None of those things have ever happened to me at Costco, except the Dyson Blade, which I love so much that I have priced them to see if I can reasonably install one in my kitchen when I remodel it (I can, if I cut corners elsewhere, and I JUST MIGHT).
If Sam's Club is really that annoying (I've only been in one once, and it was a brief rush through with an aunt during a family trip and I didn't pay much attention), then I'm glad I live in a place with an adjacent Costco and I'm glad to know that Costco is also a pretty good company to work for, so I can feel okay about shopping there.

Big mamas in Flashdance shirts yelling at their buzzcut dumplin’ children: “Colt, don’t touch that! Colt!! Did you hear me?!” I hate when the riff-raff wall comes down.
Someone has his "snob" priorities seriously misplaced.

I read this as more of a "I-think-they-are-fantastic-but-there-is-room-for-improvement"

Hand dryer in the men’s room I think it’s called a Dyson Airblade
Fo' reals: I'm not sure about those things either.

Open your heart. I submit that the 21st century didn't begin until these started showing up in public restrooms.
I'm not a germophobe, I don't really care about paper towels or wiping my hands on my pants when an air dryer is too weak to do the job, I'm just really amazed by Blade dryers. Maybe I just like to watch the skin on my hands go all wobbly as I pull them through, and perhaps this puts me in a minority of people, in which case, ignore me.

This reads like it ought to begin with "Hola, amigos!" or was written by some 16-year-old who idolizes Maddox

This dude needs a trip abroad or something, a trip to somewhere that doesn't have a supermarket on every corner. Widened perspective wouldn't hurt.
I remember reading about how one person went overseas, and I forget the place, but they relied on small farmer's markets for most of the food, and supermarkets were a rare luxury. It was totally something I never thought about, but it is pretty amazing to me that I can go to a wal-mart at 2AM and get semi-fresh and cheap food from around the world.
