A couple of years ago I complained to Costco that recently every box o
Campari tomatoes that I got had soft spots and spoiled quickly. I
received an apology letter from Costco and one from the tomato grower.
He asked for my address so that he could send me some tomatoes. A
week later 4 cases of Campari tomatoes showed up (that's a huge lot of
tomatoes). Everyone in the neighborhood was very appreciative

They are my favorite store, as you know.
