Bear Applies for Costco Membership, Cites 'Unbeatable Bulk Salmon Prices'

A 400-pound grizzly bear was observed entering the Bozeman Costco on North 19th Avenue Saturday morning, pausing briefly at the membership desk before proceeding directly to the seafood section.

“He walked right up to the counter, stood on his hind legs, and just sort of stared at the associate for about thirty seconds,” said witness and fellow shopper Brenda Kowalski, 43, of Belgrade. “Then he grabbed a sample of the rotisserie chicken and left.”
