Accretionist posted:Uh oh, I applied there recently. What's wrong with the culture? try applying at Trader Joe's if ur looking for a fun corporate culture, they let u wear hawaiian shirts and ring big loud bells all the time...i think a couple goons work there, check the business, finance, careers (BFC) forum. i think they pay well too, but i heard they stopped offering part timers affordable health care options a year or so again. Another good tip (if ur young enough) is to get a job at a local unionized supermarket and keep urself on the schedule for years and years if you can by working the minimal amount of hours (typically 4-6 i think) and the yearly contract mandated raises will add up well (to like $20/hr+) after youve been there for some years...even if you have another job/career it can be a great backup to have if you get fired/laid off/want to make a career change or go back to school.

Pro-tier things to purchase at Costco: Whole fresh (King/Coho/Copper River/Sockeye) Salmon, when in season Whole fresh halibut, when in season Jumbo pack of flash frozen langostinos (loving awesome) Prime standing rib roast A4 printer paper Pretzel bread rolls Ciabatta Rolls Baguettes (rolls or loaf) Parmigiano-Reggiano + Peccorino Romano + English Coastal Cheddar (all kirkland brand, no poo poo, this cheese is TIGHT) Bel Gioso fresh bufula mozzarella Apples (in season) Peaches (in season) Mu' Fuckin' San Pellegrino Mu' Fuckin' MILK Kirkland brand extra virgin olive oil (vintaged) Puma socks and kirkland brand boxer briefs (comfy and sexy as gently caress) Kirkland brand whole Cashews, Almonds, Pistachios. Lemme be real with you. These drupes are the poo poo. Kirkland brand champagne, both the brut and the rose. The Kirkland rose champagne is a no-poo poo French champagne, made from the ground up as a Rose. literally in the 1% of wines produced from France, it owns bones. Actually ALL of the kirkland brand liquors/beers/wines are loving great, especially for the price. Gordon-Bierch was one of their sub-contractors for their beer, their huge bottle of vodka is better than grey goose and it's like $20 for 1.75L. They have an 18yr speyside single malt that is unbelievable for like $30. And that's just to get you started. I loving love Costco. gently caress the haters. gently caress I LOVE COSTCO a while back they had a special on a 12pc set of professional cuisinart stainless steel cookware, I mean the kind of poo poo that seriouseats.com put up against all-clad and was like "i have no idea why you would buy all-clad", for like $180, and it's fuckin' incredible. forbidden dialectics fucked around with this message at 07:10 on Jun 7, 2014 |

Kirkland bacon is loving awesome and one of the only really good deals there of the poo poo I buy regularly. Stuff that should be a good deal but isn't, like an entire flat of eggs, is only like $.03/egg cheaper than the same brand from Safeway. Probably won't renew my membership.

I love Costco. I'm sure I'd allow it to be the slut I gently caress on the side while married to the woman I love and she'd go "Oh you, I totally understand." and then we'd have a threesome with it. I buy anything and everything there. HAIL COSTCO!

I love me some Costco. Sriracha for days. Cheap, good salmon and nice fat scallops, not the dinky bay kind. Almond butter, the decent kind that doesn't separate or have tons of oil in it. And detergent/washing products. Kirkland brand trail mix. Cases of energy bars and gels and stuff that I go through like crazy on my bike. It's the best place to shop for anything other than bread - because by the time you eat enough bagels to make yourself hate bagels, the ones you haven't eaten are spoiled.

They're pretty good for huge bags of frozen veggies and frozen dumplings. Throw some of each into a pot for healthy, lazy bachelor chow.

Uncle Salty posted:No kidding about the rosé? I have to check this out. Yeah, it's seasonal (which is the best/worst thing about Costco), but if you can find it, the Kirkland brand champagne rose is legit good. $25 for a serious, purpose-grown, méthode champenoise, sparkling rose from Champagne. Have I mentioned it yet? COSTCO loving OWNS.
