What is worse when buying Costco is to buy a bottle one likes, and then
decide to buy, say, 6 more bottles. Then, the 1st of the "6 more bottles"
stink, and then you're faced with opening each one with trepidation.

The scenario that is most likely to happen in this household is that if it
is a mediocre, but tolerable, wine to begin with, one starts to doubting
one's own judgment of buying 6 bottles (of anything!).

Here at our Costco, I've taken corked bottles back. I leave the un-drunk
wine in the bottle to show that I've not finished it off.
As for "you don't know jack" attitude, here in Winchester, VA, I've never
encountered any attitude at all for any purchases. But I have encountered
that attitude at another big warehouse store, of which I am no longer a
member, but not totally for that reason.
