I (an American) had actually never heard of Costco until I moved to Japan. Where I grew up we had Sam’s Club, but no Costco, so when I got to Japan and the other foreigners were talking about how they love getting the chance to go down to Costco, I had no idea what they were talking about.
Didn’t see a Costco in person until a few years later.
Similar, perhaps. I enjoyed visiting Costco in England and devouring jacket (baked) potatoes with Heinz baked beans (I’m aware this is Lemmy…), Shepherd’s Pie and a hot cup of Yorkshire Tea - so the menu is localised too.
I don’t remember if they also had the typical American fare when I was there, because I was more interested in the British cuisine I had missed so much. They may have had the froyo and hotdogs. Im certain there must have been pizza, surely.
You know, Costco exists in Europe as well, with the same food order menu.

You merely adopted the $4.99 rotisserie chicken.
I was born into it, moulded by it.
Why you didn’t see the $1.49 hotdog meal combo until you were a man.
Sam’s club is superior anyway. They have a larger and more stable selection at the same or better prices.
Yea but then you’ll be supporting Walmart. So there’s that.
Yeah but worse labor practices.
Well I for one did not know that actually!
