I can share other stories, but at least in San Diego at more than one location, I am not sure what they were smoking.
I have said it before, if you go to costco for tires, you will regret it.

And when they try to jack up your car under the rightside "A" pillar and smash your oil lines, they will call the cops claiming fraud when they see the price for replacement. I use a local LLoyd's Tire, Santa Cruz, they are responsive happy to listen, and last time I gave a mini jacking class for 911s. The shop manager was going to buy a jack point paddle and appreciated my willingness to educate the guys in the shop. I also explained the colored dots on the sides of the tires. I guess that day in A&P school paid off. By knowing where the heavy point on the tire helps with balancing.
Costco, dogfood and toilet paper.
