If they do, are we required to discount their membership?

 One wonders if they only post really long messages once a week. ;)

I believe it is Costco and from what I saw in the episode, it looks like the one I've been to in Burbank, just down the street from the studios where \"Lingo\" tapes.

If you didn't see the other thread, it is indeed Costco. I am a member of Costco and the store looks exactly like the new Costco that was recently opened in Ocean Township, NJ.

The one I regularly shop at harkens back to the days when they were known as Price Club and is a little worse for wear.

Matt Ottinger:
Here's what I was told by someone in a position to know:

\"Stoned couldn’t get a proper location release for Costco, so it’s not so much the issue of clearing the brand name, but rather identifying the location.\"  That, according to this source, is the reason why Costco had been mentioned by name in earlier shows, as well as why they didn't have a problem identifying other brand names.

BTW, out here in the great midwest, we don't have Costcos.  Our bulk discounters are Sam's Clubs, an offshoot of Wal-Mart.
