Costco is a perfect example of the kind of place that makes it great to be retired. You can pick a time to go when the lunch rush and the hordes of weekend warriors aren't invading and the experience can be a fair bit more, shall we say, sane.
We don't have a Costco near us, but there is a contingent of retirees that hang out in the local Sam's club. After lunch they move over to Home Depot and look at the tools they wish they could still use.
