    No, yes but no. I mean, and even said, name brand items like blenders with slightly smaller or cheaper bowls, lower quality metal, name brand clothes at Costco are similar to Ross in that they are made saying it the same product but are cheaper stitching and material.

    I know what generic products are I am speaking towards the ones they offer as premium at a discount are discounted because of less premium parts from the brand name.

    Why would I be against generics?

    Edit as a further example because I guess I wasn’t understood. Q-tip brand q-tips have been called out for their Costco ones being flimsier or having less spun cotton on the tips than their products at other stores. Because it helps profit them a little more money when it’s sold at a lower price. Quality is not consistent because of its market share.
