    Is that a common thing? I’ve almost never driven past a Costco station where there wasn’t a pump available (usually several). I know the part about “30 minutes” is hyperbole, but I don’t think a bunch of cars congesting Costco stations instead of spreading out to other ones is an actual problem that’s regularly happening in reality.

      No, this is not uncommon. I’ve been to multiple Costcos with very long waits in multiple states. If it’s a hyperbole, it’s only barely.

            Well yes, more people longer lines, but I wonder if the Costco is specifically problematic in comparison to other gas stations in those areas like the meme is making fun of.

            I can’t recall seeing a Costco or a Sam’s Club gas station being packed when other gas stations were fine, so I wonder if that’s an especially high-density thing.

              Ooooooh, you definitely should have expanded your thought in the first post then. Or is making people respond first and then explaining what you really meant, your fetish?

                I kind of just assumed that’s what we were all talking about because that’s the entire point of the post. (Besides idling, which is stupid regardless of what gas station you’d be waiting in line at.)
