Costco Syndrome 

A psychological condition in which people are pressured to shop at Costco Wholesale in order to get good use of their membership. Symptoms may include buying tons of things you don't need because the prices are so good, weight gain, and diabetes because of all the snacks they have and their giant obese food court offerings.
