Makes sense
The handheld scanners probably deprioritize the weight-sensing scale stuff.

One time I got a Trolli variety bag that didn’t have one of the varieties in it so I complained and got a $2 coupon in the mail a month later

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:

one of my favorite breakfast places moved to QR codes for paying for stuff and I loved how easy it made things, not having to wait in line with a bunch of people up front in a crowded room where everyone's waiting for their table, and when it went away, the manager said they were getting just brutalized by people saying they had paid by QR code and just skipping the check.

moral of the story: humanity, it's bad

Na it happens a lot in LA but I don’t think then mean pick pocketed exactly.

They probably left their purse in the cart and turned around to help one person while the other person took their poo poo. That happens a lot.

I had an older cousin who told me if you don't want to get pickpocketed, don't put your wallet in your coat pocket or your back pocket. Put it in your front pocket, and it's almost impossible to get got.

He was uh, an interesting dude, so I think it's probably good advice

Oh, I see. That makes more sense. I feel like you've got to be pretty skilled to be able to pick someone's pocket in a parking lot or the mark would have to be very oblivious.

I think it is pretty common in crowded areas in European cities. It's not that common in suburban America.

If I Saw It, Here's How It Happened.
The church has failed us.

We needed to make a return of a pair of Apple Airbuds (like $170) that we specifically bought from Costco because of the return policy. No sneaky tech-swapping attempts here, we needed to see if my husband could use them. Turns out he can't, he had a bad allergic reaction to the silicon or whatever the buds are made out of.

Went in yesterday to do the return, and find out that for Apple stuff (or maybe all tech?) Costco has a 90 day return policy. We are 2 WEEKS outside of this and the return was denied.

Arrrrrrrrrrrgh. I am losing my faith. Didn't even get communion.

No my child, you misunderstand.

When you were walking, did you see two pairs of footprints? No. Because I stopped walking with you at the 90 Day mark as clearly outlined in my computer electronics return policy *eats a 1/4 lb all beef hot dog with free refill*. That one's on you bro.

In the 20 minutes since making this post, I contacted Costco online support, did a chat asking for help, and was told the "The person in store who helped you was misinformed and of course you can return this" which sounded a bit like pandering to me because well, they WERE in the right, we ARE outside the return window. In any case, she immediately started a return for me and sent a UPS pre-paid label for a return.

She also said I could have done the same online, which leads me to believe that the 90 day policy is only informed in person and not through their online order management system.

Either way, faith restored. PBUC

The true answer is that airpods don't fall under the computer/appliances stipulations of the 90 Day window, which is enforced online.
Kiosk dude probably heard Apple and was like nooooooo

Audio receivers also are exempt. You know the Vizio bar you got 2 Christmases ago that now drops connection every 2 hours? Returnable.

Any opinions on the cauliflower pizzas at Costco? I was surprised to see at least 2 different brands on sale. I've had ones that were completely terrible and ones that tasted almost but not quite like a really nice crunchy thin crust pizza.

THE TAXES! THE FINGER THING MEANS THE TAXES!

My Costco was out of Taylor Farms vegetable trays yesterday and I was bummed. Me and my kid have been blasting through one a week.

BUT! They did have tubs of chili up front for like $13, we had some for dinner and it was very decent!

Rest of the haul: bag of Kirkland quinoa, tray of chuck steaks, a spinach salad, two rotisserie chickens, tray of cracker cut cheese slices, and raspberries.

I picked up the cubed butternut squash, power greens, bell peppers, carrots, grape tomatoes, canned chicken because eating tuna every day is bad for my mercury levels, Mason jars to replace the ones my wife filled with weed, the woodland creature Kong dog toys (see below), Waterloo seltzer with seasonal flavors, and the uncooked tortillas. Also a slice of pep and a tank of gas for fifty bucks

I wish Costco carried as much cat stuff as they do dog stuff. My dog is elderly and no longer enjoys playing with toys, but my new kitty has an unceasing appetite for new things to destroy.

I bought them because the last toy from the "wine and cheese" pack from spring is on its very last legs. They all graduated to "outside toys"months ago
