Process Fossil

A workplace procedure that continues to exist long after technology made it unnecessary, usually defended with the phrase “because that’s how we’ve always done it.”

Often involves unnecessary steps like three paper copies, a signature, and filing paperwork that could have been a spreadsheet, email, or photo.

A process fossil survives purely because nobody in management has updated the system since the 1990s.
“Our office requires three paper copies, a signature, and a receipt attached just to verify a $60 purchase.”

“That’s not accounting… that’s a process fossil.”

PriceSmart

That warehouse club that actually functions just like Costco and Sam's Club(they even have a junk food place, their store sizes are just smaller) that is all over Latin America and the Carribean, but its hq is in San Diego, US, still an American company.

Instead of Kirkland, it is "Member's Selection"

Not to be confused with that other PriceSmart in British Columbia.
