Consider it a private club with an initiations process.
Either you join the country club or a round of drinks costs you full price and you wait in the 'lesser than those who joined' line.
I'm fine with it. I could be convinced to actually prefer the fee.
Costco
Sams
Season tickets anywhere
Coupons I get from outdoorsman guide that other people don't.
Regional rebates on cars.
Penny deals at home depot.
Airline 'platinum member' gates
Be happy and realize EVERY transaction you do is worse than someone else accomplished.
You'll not gain anything by being less than happy about the situation.
(IF I bought my new (and broken) rv there, and had to wait weeks for service behind those that didn't buy there...I'd be livid.)
