Returning alcohol definitely depends on where you're at. Michigan state law doesn't allow returns on booze. The only exception I've seen to that is if you buy something and immediately realize you got the wrong thing or changed your mind on it, they'll let you return it as long as you haven't walked out the door with it yet.

Hang a wire around the city so you never technically leave the blessed Costco zone.

Those are some pretty schizophrenic state laws. They make it difficult to buy alcohol, then they make it harder to return it.

Re: Returned booze

I bought all of the bottled liquor for my wedding reception from a Costco Liquor. Ended up coming out to $350 or so. The manager told me I could return any unopened bottles for a full refund.

I mentioned back before Christmas that I had ordered a Co gift membership for my sister-in-law. I got an email saying it was shipped on 12-28, it didn't come with a tracking number, and it still hasn't been delivered. Has anyone else had issues with the gift membership thing? Seems like it should have been delivered by now.

I don't know where they are sent from, but assuming they come from the corporate offices here in Seattle, we've had a ton of snow over the last few weeks, and everything is delayed. Now that it's warming up, we're getting so much rain that it's causing flooding everywhere, but at least the airport should be back to normal by now.

Waiting for the end of the Feb billing cycle to get to my sweet sweet Costco Citi rebate cash just to turn right around and hand it back to them. A good system they’ve worked out.

I've never seen them before but what first looked like some weird looking danishes turned out to be ham & cheese pastries with allegedly bechemel sauce as the filling. They look really good and the regular danishes were always an amazing breakfast after warming in the toaster oven.

Ate two of these at 1 am last night, pretty good out of the toaster oven

i got covid over christmas and just started testing negative consistently so of course first place i go is costco. was running dangerously low on various essentials. the amount of people not wearing masks there was staggering but i did my best to ignore the idiot herd. got in, got my poo poo, got a dog and a slice and left.

the new dog paper does fuse to the bun but if you pull it out right away and eat it asap you can prevent that. still no onions though gently caress !!!

THE ONLY THING BETTER THAN THE SEAHAWKS IS RUSSELL WILSON'S TAINT SWEAT

Seahawks #1 fan since 2014.
The $15 Eddie Bauer flannel fleece-lined shirts are awesome. Basically a non-shlubby-looking way to wear what feels like a sweatshirt.

Was in the market for a new car, wanted a 2022 Mazda CX-5 and most dealerships around here were charging a few hundred to a thousand over MSRP, best price I could find was MSRP but costco auto came through for what ended up being ~$750 under MSRP. PBUC. It seems like in the before times you could get up to 10% off MSRP but I figure 2-3% off MSRP is pretty good for most of the cars being sold before they ever arrive at the lot.

Terrible trip. No masks for sale. No kitty litter. No good impulse buys on sale. No windshield wiper in my size. 50% mask rate inside. I bought jerky and that was it, just to have something.

And at the end of the trip.... The food court was closed for remodel.

We're taking orders 2 months out basically. 80-90% of each truckload that comes in is pre-sold with the remaining 10-20% being sold within a few days

I found Bitchin' Sauce at my local church for the first time last weekend. Not sure why we never had it before in my area. I've consumed over half of a container of Chipotle since in like 9 days. It's delicious. PBUC.

Capitalism did it to the Soviet’s as well. Most of why socialism fails is the capitalist countries conspire to make it fail, they refuse to trade meaningfully with socialist countries.

My local Toyota dealer that I service my 2016 4Runner at had been sending me the generic “local moms want YOUR 4RUNNER TONIGHT” type emails that had a link to call them so they could pitch me whatever dumb price they thought I’d take for it. The one I got last week had a flat out offer price in it that was more than I paid for it when I bought it in 2017.

Granted that would leave me with no vehicle and *less* money than I’d need to buy one back, it’s still dumb.

I went today but was still morning so didn’t get a dog. One of the first times I didn’t get a croissant pack because they only had yesterday’s, the new ones weren’t out yet. Ah well. Buying TP and pper towels puts such a dent in my cart space I had to go easy and still spent over $400 somehow, lol.
