Is Costco founder a Jew?

You'll have to expand on the question, and give us some kind of illumination on what in the world is "a Jewish company". Does the company wear a yarmulke? Does it give off for Jewish holidays? Generally speaking, Costco is neutral in matters of religion.

The founders of Costco are James D. Sinegal, who is a Catholic, and Jeffrey H. Brotman, who is Jew. However, the company does not exhibit any "Jewish" characteristics such as giving all Jewish holidays off or exclusively stocking kosher products.

Is Costco associated with the Mormons?

No. Costco is a publically traded company owned by shareholders. Of course, some of these shareholders may be Mormon but it would be nearly impossible to keep track as stocks are bought and sold every day. The CEO of Costco, W. Craig Jelinek, is not a Mormon either.

Costco put on the wrong size tire on my truck What damage will this do to the truck's differential?

If both rear tires are the same size, your differential will not suffer, but your speedometer may not be accurate and your gear ratios will not be what they were designed to be, so that could cause strain on the transmission ( and clutch, if you have a clutch.)
If the rear tires are not the same size, that would make the differential turn on the straightway as if you were constantly turning a corner.

---I'm sorry but whoever put this answer doesnt know what they were talking about (No offense meant). You'd probably know if they put different size tires on as your truck would be sitting cockeyed. And if the tires are just the same different size than it will NOT do any damage, your speedometer will just be incorrect. The differential and tranny will run exactly the same no matter what size tire you put on, you will just need to recalibrate your speedometer if you want it to be correct (if you dont care and can figure out how fast you're goin, I wouldn't bother).

Why is there no Costco north of the Missouri River in Kansas City Missouri?

According to the higher-ups (as of February 2012), the company is planning on opening a store in the North Kansas City area near Zona Rosa sometime within the next year if negotiations with the city go well. Once they "break ground" it takes about 6 months to open a new warehouse. Don't hold your breath just yet, plans can fall through or be delayed easily if they can't negotiate favorable terms with the city. It's never a sure thing until they make an official announcement.

You are looking at purchasing a new computer at Costco Which is the best computer?

That depends on what you are planning on using the computer for. If you want to use it to play games, you'll need a computer with a fast processor (probably over 2.4 GHz) and lots of RAM (over 2 GB). If you just want to use the computer for editing documents and browsing the internet you don't need anything special - just get the cheapest one you can find. If you want to use the computer for editing videos, you'll need lots of RAM and disk space (probably over 500 GB).

What are some pros and cons of Costco?

It is a great store if you have a great, big family and would want to buy grocery in bulks. In comparison, prizes are relatively low than if you buy them in singles. In addition, they sell everything ranging from food to cameras to clothes, so you can get anything for a lower price. Personally, the place seemed very ..wholesome the last time I visited.

However, it is perhaps not a great idea to shop there if you do not need a big amount of one thing. If you live with one or two people, then Costco may not be the store for you. Unless if all of you have big appetites or are in need to buy a great amount of one thing. Lastly, it really isn't worth saving a few dollars if you end up throwing more than half of what you buy away.

I agree completely. Good answer!!
