This Guy Clearly Doesn't Understand How BJ's Wholesale Works

So I'm reading this story in the Boston Globe about how BJ's wholesale is up for sale and had my blog all ready to go about how the buyer first has to go to the counter up front and purchase a day pass, and as a bonus BJ's is kicking in a 5 lb bag of popcorn and 88 rolls of toilet paper.  Standard wholesale club jokes type stuff. Been done to death. But just as I'm about to click publish post I catch this gem in the comment section:



How Un-American do you have to be to make such ignorant comments about a classic American institution. Dude if they did away with the membership it wouldn't be a club, it would be a Giant Sized Proportions Stop n' Shop.  

And portions are too large? I don't know what country you're from, but here in America bigger is better. I'm not shopping at BJ's for a normal sized box of Frosted Flakes.  I'm shopping at BJ's for the "It's supposed to be economy sized but I'm eating 3 bows before my brother and sister get to have any" sized Frosted Flakes.

Any other American institutions you feel like griping on bro? Store 24 open too many hours? Wendy's dollar menu too economical?
