"You can't have a whole soul without wholesale." If they don't change their slogan, I will boycott

I once quit Costco. Shortly after, all of my friends and family died in different mysterious accidents. Costco sent me a "we miss you" email with a 2-for-1 deal on caskets. Costco is always there for me when I need them the most, unlike people who just keep dying. I'll never leave Costco again.

I was half expecting Costco to be the sponsor of the video, no joke! 😂

The missed opportunity of calling it Costcult

[mikeknowles]

I died right there with the purple robe and "the old one was founded...earlier".

They kept hassling me to upgrade my membership to Executive. I told them that I tried it, but was unsatisfied. When they asked why, I said: "Because it didn't make me an executive."

It’s not a cult if it’s THE TRUTH and WAY

[beardlyinteresting]

This skit exists so Julie can expense that hotdog costume, you can't fool me, I'm on to you.

[grankmisguided]

I realize it probably transpired that first the script was written and THEN the costumes were purchased... but it would be undeniably awesome if instead, this whole video came about from seeing that full-body hot dog suit from the end and thinking "what sketch can I construct in which this will make enough through-line sense that I could write off this hot dog costume?" 😂

"You can't have a whole soul without wholesale." LOL... comedy gold.

[TonyBullard]

It's not just $1.50 for a hotdog, but for a hotdog AND a drink! READ YOUR SCRIPTURES!

[michaelbishop.]

Unusual for a cult in discounting what members believe they need.

[illtemperedklavier-irfy]

They discontinued my favourite kind of bread. But, Costco giveth and Costco taketh away.

But has she actually made the pilgrimage to Kirkland, Washington? It is NOT a mythical REAL, I say unto you!

[GravityFromAbove]

It should be pointed out that in Scotland kirk means church. Kirkland!

[cphrpunk]

Watch it, executive member here, we’s a watchin’ you. Comin’ awful close to being lost back in the paper towel aisle.

The next episode is Gina deprogramming Julie and recruiting her to be a TV weather girl.

Thanks for the video! "Free sample? On sale." Hilarious!

"You can't have a whole soul without wholesale" got me literally ROLLING, omfg 🤣🤣🤣🤣
