Thread friends, I hope you will hear my candid confession of an act, neigh, a desecration before Lord Kirkland, done in his very kingdom of Seattle, no less, on holy ground :(

It's been gnawing at my soul since christmas.

It is with great shame that I inform you that my wife, with good intentions, bought the giant serrano ham. She had no plan or understanding of this ham besides the fact that I had ogled its serene and gentle curves a fortnite before.

We live alone- well, we have a few cats; and to my great shame, I wasted most of the ham. I am a fantastic cook but I just had no idea how to use the thing. It sat in our garage, a symbol of my failure and her indulgence, for two months before I ultimately owned up to my sin and tossed it out (Seattle at the time was like 19 degrees so it was basically in a freezer, and kept fine that whole time).

I have no real aim here except to throw myself at the mercy of our Lord Kirkland, under him we shall never want- and lo these many days without polish nor onion dispenser, I must defer to his great wisdom that as we simply did not deserve the splendor of onion, we are derived of sin and can only beg for repentance.

May He forgive my sin :(

Holy poo poo lol. See, this is why I don't make the big bucks. I'm not an idea man.

I've seen a couple of super boner returns over the years...

Once someone returned a dirty toilet. Like, there was poop on the toilet, and the lady was in line, with the poop toilet(???) I have no idea how that resolved ultimately but wtf. The employees were just sitting there staring at it. No one really wanted to make a first move.

Another time I was at Costco about 2 weeks after Christmas (this was years ago and unrelated to the serrano ham incident of winter 2023) and someone was, on my life, returning a loving christmas tree that was just... like... naturally dead. I'm 99% sure she got the return.

I feel like if you truly abuse the return policy like that, Costco should just accept the return but also return that year's membership fees and ban you. I'm cool with 95% of what people return but so many people regularly take advantage of the system. I've seen other minor poo poo like worn out clothes... just like, old appliances (???) that they clearly wanted to replace. gently caress those people.

Clearly costco accepts the hit with returns because it's something they're known for, but I'll bet they lose an absurd amount of money this way. Back in the day you could even return COMPUTERS this way once they were obsolete, but now they have a pretty blanket policy about not allowing returns of that class.

The exact number should be 287%, so -13% over 300%. I had calculated 330% when I did a rough estimation yesterday. Oops.
Here's the meta-analysis I got the number from.

That seems like bad data analysis for a number of different reasons, but the general idea that processed meats increase your risk for heart disease is sound, so whatever.

Grabbed a car battery today at the Co, comparing prices at other places like batteries plus, the Costco interstate batteries are superior in terms of specs and the price difference nearly pays for the membership on it's own.

Also grabbed some quick staples, Toilet paper, rotisserie chicken, and a hot dog.

Dog gud, putting condiments is a bit of a hassle so I don't bother these days.

Also there was a Karen at the tire center arguing with the sales guy for a good 10 minutes about why they weren't going to rebalance her front tires (she was getting her rears replaced) when they were already fine and she just started freaking out a bit even though the tire guy explained that it was unnecessary unless the car was driving rough. She walked out in a bit of a huff'puff.

For Serrano, you either just eat it as is (very thinly sliced), or you can make it into croquetas, bocadillos, or even just chopped up and mixed with some scrambled eggs for breakfast.
