Not returning the $2,000 wall bed after having it for 3 years would make it a lot easier on the staff, as well as the future of Costco's return policy.

I like looking at the returns area for weird poo poo and I've seen years-old worn out recliners and patio furniture, food stained microwaves so old the plastic has yellowed like a snes, and a plant with the reason that it was "haunted" I don't work that dept but I think they'll be ok with your weird bed parts return, don't worry too much

They should be thrilled to have it back! edit: Different topic, get a load of this Costco salad kit I just opened. $8.49 and half its weight is dirty stems:  I've had pizza places make less hosed up salads than this, jeez.

One of the spring mixes I bought a couple weeks ago had a whole rear end head of lettuce still in it. First time for that and i've purchased hundreds of them throughout the years. But it gets worse: halfway through my salad I felt a small, cold, almost gummy sensation on my lips and thinking to myself "well this isn't like any lettuce i've ever had" spit the mouthful into a paper towel to discover a tiny, shriveled-up green caterpillar. Ruined that meal. Also, yes you should try and return that bed frame, because I like knowing that you went through all this trouble only to be denied the return at the customer service desk because a manager can, and will, refuse any thing they don't want returned.

Well, it was solid wood, not like MDF or something, but the tolerance was not great and was a lot of work to get it to square up. Much like IKEA stuff, the build process almost ended my long-term relationship. Someone here was posting mattress grippers and it's like, you're not getting it, when you naturally toss and turn at night you'll knock your pillow and anything else into the pit between the wall and the hardware, and you have to sit up and fish it out of the void in the middle of the night. You can't put anything there to catch it or you'll risk fouling up the closing mechanism. bird with big dick posted:And it took you three years to figure that out? Chill buddy, I said I figured it out earlier but I didn't wanna be doing this poo poo in the middle of a pandemic. It's one of those things where it was shipped to my house, but I have to rent a box truck and do a two-person lift to return it to the store.

Just bring the pieces of the bed in black garbage bags. Preferably cut them down to smaller sizes. Make sure there's a ton of dust on them. Just keep asking for different managers if they say no and refuse to take it back. Get the law involved aka call the cops if they refuse the return and waste as much of their time as possible. So the employee gets $17.50 per hour the cop gets $75+. So you need to annoy the employee for 100 hours. Or anny the cop for 10 hours and the employee for 50. Then your close to the original cost of the sofa. Then the next step would be to sue for emotional damages and try to retain the sofas cost. Essentially cost Costco and the tax payer more than your sofa is worth. Because that makes the sofa worth more. Also bonus points if you call out other people returning poo poo and go WHY IS THEIR RETURN ACCEPTABLE AND MINE ISNT?

I have a Costco bed and I posted the anti-grip mattress slipper because you should be pushing the mattress all the way up to the headboard which will prevent your pillows falling. I have the same problem and that was my solution. Yes that leaves a gap at the footboard, that's so you can pile your duvet cover there.

Having had the same issue it does suck but I dunno what the fix would be besides the mattress gripper but you’d have to move the mattress if you want to close the bed up.

AmbientParadox posted:re: Omeprezole, I was concerned myself because I've been taking it daily for over a year now. I contacted my doctor about my concerns and they told me, "I mean.. I've been taking it daily for over 3 years and haven't had any problem. But if you're concerned we can schedule some tests to figure out what's going on." So I've gone and scheduled some lab tests for whenever. I've tried others. Tums loving sucks and is only good for it's portability. If you're experiencing heart burn in the evening, but are apprehensive towards Omeprezole, have some Mylanta on hand. I found that works the best and lasts quite a while. The big concern with taking omeprezole or any other acid reducer daily is that a) most of the time people use it to mask another problem (you're getting it checked out so good on you) but also b) because there's less acid being produced in your stomach, food doesn't break down as quickly and your body doesn't always absorb all of the nutrients of the food you're eating. That's mostly an issue in long term use, but using it for a year while you figure out what's going on isn't a big deal. Hope this helps goon Also in other news I learned the life hack of pre-counting your cans and bottles and just going straight to the desk with it. People at my local church are so loving bad at using can return machines

Hope this helps goon Yea, this was my case when I discovered I had ulcerative colitis in 2018. My stomach was producing so much acid that it was burning holes in my stomach. Ended up having to have an endoscopy so that they could seal them up. The night I discovered it was scary as gently caress. First and only time I passed out and it was from a loss of blood. I don't have to take them at all anymore, but I still have some Pantoprazole prescribed just in case. I produce a lot of it, but I also eat way better now. Before, my diet was lots of fried foods, carbohydrates, tomato sauces, just general junk food. Now it's just lots of meat and vegetables. Edit: And yea, Costco isn't gonna put the bed frame you return back on the floor. You are straight up just costing them a chunk of money. Which is why they are likely to just say "nah, not gonna let you return it, even if you threaten to cancel your membership". You better not be part of the reason my rotisserie chicken price increases.

Good to hear the omeprazole talk, I’ve been on it the last few months due to a lot of acid following bariatric surgery. Fairly common, and it’s getting better; every third box I try ramping down and this time I only start having discomfort the last evening of a pill-every-three-days cycle. Going to be heading to the ‘co tomorrow, but probably not going to pick up anything outside of the 5-6 staples I need. I just can’t food like I used to. Unless any of the dry rubs they carry are particularly good? I’ve got a pork shoulder that will eventually get pulled, but figured I’d make the rub myself.

They’re having to accept lower quality standards because the Californian broccoli pull for December was hit hard by pesticide resistant worms. Those mixes get lower quality than just florets. It effected everyone, but Taylor Farms has such a big share of the bagged market that they don’t have to worry much about a hit to their reputation.
