The BBB is just a scam, but it seems to have some sort of clout with the older generations that actually believe it's some sort of official organization. They just charge you money to do absolutely nothing but provide a plaque and a website that you want to stay off of, including being able to pay money in order to remove yourself from the website.

Grabbed some of this elote dip that just dropped. It tastes like taco flavored yogurt but in a good way. Not what I expected but it’s a winner.

Just in the last 3 years going through the BBB was the only thing that made Best Buy finally do anything about the issue I had with them. Like I said, some companies actually do pay attention to it - the BBB is not completely useless but it is highly dependent on the company involved.

I've never had a Costco rewards card but just curious, how does it work if you like spend a few grand on a mattress and bed set, get reward cash for the year, then be a bastard and return everything in a year or two? Do you not get any rewards that year you returned a few $K worth of stuff?

I think they were talking about the BBB from the business point of view, not the consumer point of view.


I think you've just discovered a new get-rich-quick scheme. I'll avoid quoting the text in this post, to give you the opportunity to edit your post so your brilliant idea can safely live in obscurity.

Turns out their cranberry walnut bread is only seasonal though! They said they stopped baking it after the holidays and now there’s only baguettes and multigrain.

Add that to the good stuff graveyard with Nonni’s Biscotti and Stroopwafels that they inexplicably stop carrying the moment I get a taste.

Yea there were samples but I shun samples, they're for the slow moving masses. I already know it'll be good.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


Samples destroy faith and without faith Costco is nothing. They are a test sent by Sam’s Club to tempt the weak.

I was at my Costco yesterday and verified that they do indeed have the kimchi with 2 gs. I did not purchase any, however.

I did buy some cheap nicotine, though.

I hate samples because it makes people absolutely lose their minds more than normal and bring their carts to a screeching half haphazardly just to get a bite of Aidells sausage or something.

Pausing samples early in the pandemic was one of the best silver linings.

Went to Costco today and the checkout line stretched across the entire store, all the way to tbe dairy section. They did have eggs, which is good because the trader joes I went to first did not have any left.

Finally got a membership. I walk in, get a $5 chicken and leave.

The money I’ve saved on chicken has already paid for the membership.

I will only buy chicken here. Nothing else.
