The Red’s breakfast burritos have been serving me super well, too. Could be better for you, but it moves both eggs and hot sauce into my mouth every morning expediently.

I have become a Red's burrito addict. Unfortunately, I couldn't find them at Costco last time I went which was last Monday. I hope it isn't a 'participating locations' situation and my location isn't participating, although they did have the egg sandwiches. I can find the burritos at other stores but sometimes I have to hunt them down. I got lucky at New Season's where it seemed they had just unloaded the entire Red's truck as they had probably eight varieties and I bought almost a hundred dollars worth. I explained the situation to the checker and she said they could provide the dates that the Red's orders come in. I am a fan of several but the chorizo is the best. I'll do some more investigating at Costco tomorrow maybe.

I also need to ask about Myntz brand mints which are my favorite but have seemingly disappeared.

Good news is while Late July Snacks' Jalapeno Lime Tortilla Chips were missing for a bit they have returned in force!

That Costco is so big I'd be surprised if there was something they didn't carry there. Besides liquor that is, that location only sells beer and wine.

I still don't understand why people want to save money on gas now and not before. In my experience around here, the gas at Costco is a flat $0.30 per gallon cheaper than other gas stations, regardless of the price. When prices go up, you're actually saving less as a percentage.

People's incomes sadly don't increase in a proportional basis to gas prices.

Some Japanese TV program recently had a show about the "Costco Diet", which is something apparently making the waves recently.

The relevant segment starts at about the 1 hour 11 minute mark.

So they buy expensive gas most of the time and finally go to Costco when it gets really expensive? Just buy Costco gas every day.

There are certain aspects of living in a pandemic that I enjoyed. Not having to elbow idiots out of the way is one of the few, particularly for me as someone who has mild social anxiety (such a polite way to say "I don't like people"!)

I’ve pretty much stopped having any shame about minor fender benders with people who obviously aren’t even remotely paying any attention to anything around them.

The entry gates are the worst, you get someone stopped to ask the attendant something with their cart blocking half the gate and then someone gets a foot past the threshold and stops and blocks the other half of the gate and I’m looking at the attendant to see whether they see my ID and then put it away, so I don’t notice the person stopped and they get a cart rammed up the back of their foot.

I do my best but sometimes poo poo happens when you do stupid stuff like that and I end up bumping someone like once a year or something because they do something stupid and I don’t see it in time. Have some situational loving awareness and the decency to not block the gate, there’s always like four other carts behind me too, it’s blatantly obvious that it’s a terrible place to stop and they do it anyway.

I bumped one lady and immediately apologized but that wasn’t good enough, so Karen screamed at me “that HURT!!!” and at that point I just shot back “then next time don’t stop in the doorway” and pushed on and she started to whine to the gate attendant like they were gonna call the cops on me or something because some Karen got her foot bumped.

Pretty routinely see people who are wandering back and forth taking the whole aisle and walking super slow and I’ll start to nudge past them as they wander one way and they’ll get a startle as they wander back and oh hey there’s a cart! Like, have some loving situational awareness, I always do my best to make sure I’m not blocking anyone else as much as possible.

My work day runs from 7 to 3 and when we're really serious about making a big costco run we coordinate a pair of WFH days and my wife knocks off a couple of hours early. If we can actually get in at 3 it's glorious. During normal work hours and right when schools are picking up but before the stay at home moms have time to swing by on the way home from grabbing the kids? loving ghost town.

The one downside is that the other three people in there are all octogenarians who will park their cart sideways across the aisle while they talk to the nice person at the HVAC display about saving a tenth of a cent per month.

Those people are absolutely not paid enough. I know this because half the time the people doing it are too old and decrepit to even be able to stand there all day and need a chair to sit in to be able to do their terrible job.

My Costco has posted hours of 10-8:30, but the doors actually open at ~9:45 :ssh:

Hit it early today and was out by 10:15 while the naifs were still shuffling in

EDIT: I put down my chicken bake to write this post and then forgot about it until I went to throw the little paper bag away. Thank you Costco thread for the gift of a few unexpected bites.

currently making a leftover costco stuff chili/stewish thing. Tiny tomatoes that were starting to wrinkle. little meat on the edge of going bad. last bell pepper in the 6 pack. tomato paste. Lotsa spices. beans and lentils. Gonna have it over a little rice.

And probably on some nachos.


Also realized the Costco checker today forgot to scan a double of an item in my cart so uh got some free coffee. Thank you costco.

The number of people in line for the food court when you approach the check out and the number of people in line when you finish checking out is calculated by the formula 4x+1 where x is the number of minutes you've spent in line.
