No Class

The plastic was torn at bottom left and one bottle removed.

Costco sells its branded Kirkland water at $2.99 per 40 bottles. At 7½ cents a bottle it's one of the deals that keep us coming back, just like the $4.99 whole rotisserie chicken and the $1.49 hot dog-and-soda.

If a shopper wants a chilled bottle immediately, he can buy one from the vending machine out front for 25 cents, another bargain.

I couldn't understand why someone would steal one of the room-temperature bottles, "saving" 7½ or 25 cents and making the 40-pack unsellable. Some people.

(BTW, a few feet away I found another case in the same condition.)
