I like fish. I like to eat fish. I like to brush fish with a fish hairbrush. Do you like fish too?
is there an internet rule where all chat eventually evolves into costco chat? i feel like this phenomenon has happened in so many places for me, from bideo james to my study group's discord.

Yeah that’s what I thought…. Even if you have to buy from Costco that’s still a major fail that they have “sales” at the store you have to pay a membership to. Everything should be fully discounted to the max on sale all the time if you’re paying a drat fee to shop there. Costco is a fail….

Church was out of rotisserie chickens for a whole 8 minutes today and I saw a man just sort of emotionally collapse during the gap between chicken refills at the hot counter thing. It was a journey.

Also they had big bags of Kirkland brand popcorn kernels, so I bought two. Costcorn.

I was having a super terrible day once and really just wanted to get a chicken and some salad so I could go home and cry and binge eat. The chicken wasn't there in the case waiting for me and I admit it. I kinda melted down and cried a little bit. I wasn't used to costco letting me down and I just really needed it. I wasn't even done being a little brat before they were putting out fresh chickens. It felt like they were mocking me for being insolent.

I got a hot dog on the way out to cope.

$3.99 for regular in California. It's amazing. Most Chevron's are $4.79 now.

Also, I am disappointed with these dress socks for work. Granted I do a lot of walking at the office, but the elastic isn't great on them. They slide down way too much for being new socks.

If you filter for churches with gas stations, you can actually see the gas prices under the Warehouse Locator on the website.

Highly recommended. I'm doing dumb mindless snacks with Costcorn, air-popped, with za'atar and a little olive oil and salt. It's nice.

Also I grabbed some big bags of those tiny sweet peppers, and drat, they're real good.

which due to some mistakes was me going at peak hours and I was all set to be extremely mad at my life choices but actually only one person was a jerk in the lines and everyone else was a pro so it was really quick, all things considered

It's funny we were just posting about office chairs a month back because my 2 year old Costco office chair gave up the ghost and is effectively unusable. Absolutely not worth the purchase price.

Finding an office liquidator with a showroom open to the public is proving difficult and I might have to *shutter* call a few and ask if they're open to the public. Unfortunately I also love going full dad and napping and reclining in my chair so I dunno if a proper office chair is for me and I really don't want to deal with this poo poo right now.

Flavacol, most likely. Five gallons of it would last a movie theater like a year. A little goes a real long way.

I bought one of the Gamer Chairs from the 'co as a stop gap measure until I have enough extra money to do exactly what you're doing right now. I browsed a few local places that have online shops essentially and there are a few chairs that looked fuckin perfect for office napping.

A used/refurbed/liquidated aeron chair is almost always your best bet. Steelcase makes some decent chairs too

It's super fine salt, I just put some in a cheap electric coffee grinder I got to serve as my spice grinder.

I did, however, use some of the massive jug of Himalayan pink salt I got from Costco to grind down!
