The response from Costco was very good. It was a custom letter, and was written with some thought, and not a collection of canned Customer Relations response paragraphs. Unforunately the arcane labeling requirements imposed by various government agencies (including the requirement to "explain" gallons in terms of ounces, too) adds to the mess. And then there are the baked and cooked goods in Costco stores, made and packaged in the store itself, which according to current Federal law don't need metric equivalents at all. Costco does follow the law, but the law is stupid.
