$260 on a Friday evening, barely any line at the actual checkouts, huge line at the self checkout... life's good

I never use self-checkout at costco, because I know the cashiers get paid well and can do their jobs way better than I can.

Do the cashiers not ring you up at the self-checkout? And yes, I realize how that sounds. But at my local, they have 4 cashiers running the 6 stands and will ring up your stuff while you pay. Why, I don't know. But i've never had to use the self-checkout myself. They just scan everything in my cart while I pay and by the time I'm done paying, so are they. I figured this was the intent behind the system (partly). To speed up everything while keeping a couple checkouts open for the 1-2 people just purchasing 1-2 items.

Regret to tell you that you are sleeping on a loaf of compressed skin cells/sweat/drool/cum that has enveloped your mattress ages ago.

From what I've seen, there's only one cashier there, and I also never go to Costco and buy just 1-2 items.

Also invest in a nice waterproof mattress protector to act as a barrier to stains and extend the longevity of the new mattress.

Just an FYI that Costco started carrying those mattress in a box things that are made out of foam/latex and they're not half bad!

My last mattress was one from Costco and it was pretty good! My only complaint was that when it was cold the mattress was pretty hard till it warmed up. Besides that though it was great!

Out of the local 3 Costco's I've been to semi-recently, two have one person at the self check and you scan all your own poo poo, the one has like 2-3 people scanning. I may bother with the self checkout if I just need a single thing but like seriously how often is that

Costco Crypto at this point

Sep 9, 2011

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!
waiting at the tire shop to schedule a seasonal change and some rear end in a top hat butts in line in front of me. After I asked him to go to the back of the line, he retorted with "what are you going to do about it?"

i figured out the easiest way to make my point; i butted in line in front of the guy who had just butted in front of me. after a few moments he just snorted "this is r-word" but dropped to the back of the line. the person right behind me whispered "thank you"

the twist is that i hate confrontation, so i was shaking during the entire thing, but i pushed through it.

what's your weird Costco story?

How can anyone be mad in the tire center, considering how great it smells

Costco should have the "Free Smells" sign instead of Jimmy Johns

To answer his "what are you gonna do about it" question, you could have told him you'd gladly take it outside and put him in a wheelchair, that's generally the accepted tone you can set when dealing with people like that

Does Costco carry any good innerspring mattresses? I despise foam and/or hybrid mattresses, they sleep mega-hot regardless of any holes they punch through them or whatever.

I dunno about good. The traditional 19th century mattresses are stored upright in the back in shame

Is it filterable by a Berkey system? They filter most things and are pretty economical.

Edit:Berkey Filter Lab Results if you are interested to see if they will work for you

The Berkey is not NSF/ANSI certified. Just go with a certified reverse osmosis system with a sediment prefilter to extend the life of the RO filters and maintain the system on a schedule. If you want to get fancy or make it clear when to change filters plumb in an in-line conductivity sensor with indicator light.

Only in America do we turn a candy bar into a salad.

Also that looks loving delicious. Reminds me of watergate salad, which I haven't had in well over a decade. My grandmother used to make it and I think it's more of a northern USA thing. Pistachio pudding, marshmallows, pineapple, walnuts/pecans and whipped cream. It's delicious and terrible at the same time.

oh, so, this reminds me. remember when some warehouses used to have scanner guns for every self-checkout? I asked about it at the warehouse that had it while someone was scanning my bulk stuff, that the handheld scanner was great, and the employee was like "yeah but we got ripped off super bad". I was like "... people took the guns!?" and she was like "... no, merchandise". :whitewater:

Gaius probably knows better than me but god, people, what bastards. I guess an attendant scanning your bulk goods is all that stands between us and the english :whitewater:
