Thanks for your efforts.

Living in Sydney so not having one, I don't see what the fuss is about. The prices are okay, but not so special given the potential hassle of getting there, long queues, and need to buy in bulk (and thus find somewhere to store 50 rolls of toilet paper, or 12.5kg of flour at a time!). It'd be okay to keep in mind, but when you have to pay an extra $60 annually that takes away any possible motivation to shop there. The savings, if any, wouldn't cover the extra hassle.

Plus, given all the criticism the majors get about prices being expensive here, you'd think a place that charges a fee, only carries things in bulk and has only one warehouse so fewer staff and rental costs would be able to do a lot better if things were really that way.
