My brother-in-law just bought some pants from Costco that we wore golfing with us the other day and they looked great. He said they were $15 USD and super comfortable. So maybe there's good stuff sometimes? Wouldn't know, don't have a Costco membership because there isn't one near us.
Maybe they mean the Kirkland brand, all the other pants are just normal name brand pants. They do NOT have fitting rooms though, maybe that's also part of the joke.
Fellow parent. My jeans are from walmart (I'm not in the US, mind you). I always go for the same brand, they just fit perfectly and, according to my wife, my ass looks great. I need nothing else.
I’ll grant your point, but the person “struggling” to feed their family on Big Macs and KFC is still 1000 times wealthier than 50% of the world’s population, so everyone’s lens of privilege can be skewed to reflect humility or hubris. Your choice of a humor forum to showcase your own self appointed sense of privilege is somewhat…odd.
