Nectar of the Gods Will Go Unreplenished

I generally like Costco but I occassionaly have my issues. I wrote off the fire lighter that broke in my hand the first time I used it. Most recently I've been vexed by their schizophrenic peanut butter offerings.

"Hey, we have the Jif you like! Now we have Skippy instead!! We switched back to Jif for a day when you just ran in to drop a prescription off and didn't want to stop to buy anything!! But we're back to Skippy now!!"

Now I hear that Costco is playing hardball with the Coca Cola Co., producers of the venerable elixir, Diet Coke.

Of course, I understand that these kinds of price negotiations are always going on but let me tell you something, Costco. If this argument over half a cent per pallet or whatever it is keeps me from getting a Diet Coke at the food court, I will officially lose it.
