The one thing that has made me consistently nervous about their long-term prognosis is whenever the CEO or whomever talks about their relationship to Amazon, especially when it comes to fresh food. Costco has consistently said they don't believe that there's a profitable way to handle *nationwide* home delivery of grocery, especially perishables. The problem is that Amazon has never, ever cared about profit. If Amazon decided one day to create a national version of Peapod, they'd do it and keep doing it, even if they were burning cash. That's where Amazon (and Bezos) makes me (as a Costco shareholder) extremely nervous. For the record: I do not have an Amazon Prime account, but if I moved to a location where there were no Costcos, I would have one in a heartbeat. -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
