ok, now a question for the British..... How do your co-ops work and in particular travel and other services co-ops? Do you have to pay to shop/purchase there, or is it just investment? I see so many different ones when I am playing on google maps and just wondered how they work and if they are popular. Thanks! ;D
 
Co-ops are just like Tesco or Asda (More expensive) you can buy food and things we used to have a large one you could buy clothes and furniture from but that closed years ago. There are Co-op travel shop ( Booking holidays and such) and there is a Co-op Bank but you don't need to be a special member to us and of these places you can just work in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_cooperative_movement

The link will explain how it started but today its just a normal shop. Hope this helps. ;D
