Soooo the guy who beat the poo poo out of him is a cop right? Cause even if this guy is lying and started the fight he got the poo poo beat out of him and I think that's still illegal even if the other guy started it

UCS Hellmaker posted:Anyone buy the Costco futons before? They aren't in store right now but we are thinking about replacing our current one after we move. They seem decent in store and was wondering if anyone tried them before. Are you talking about the brown leather-ish one with two plugs and two USB outlets on the side, with the shiny metal bottom frame? It's like $500 or $600? If so, I have one, and it's incredible. I was "lucky" enough to snag one when they were $300 several years ago and it's held up like a champ with daily use. It still looks brand new - highly recommended.

It also probably was a cop though.

Costco needs to borrow a page from Aldi and using those coin locks for carts, because for some reason people will walk across the entire parking lot in the middle of a 95F day with 100% humidity with their empty cart just to get that 25 cents back.

Here in the desert, no one stays in the parking lot any longer than they have to because the sun will kill you if you don't hurry up and get inside.

I'll grab a spot close to the entrance if I drive by one on my way to the back. But if I go during busy time I just head straight for the section far away that always has parking. Screw driving around in circles for a spot when I could spend that time inside cosTco

If you're waiting for a spot and the lot isn't full you suck. Exceptions made for handicapped, and I guess a theoretical spot with a car charger, shade for a dog (why are you taking up precious space for costco stuff with a dog though?) or whatever. If the only reason you want that spot is because it's closer gently caress off.

If it’s hot enough that you need a shady spot for your dog maybe don’t take your dog to Costco that day

Just don't make this harder for other people just because you can't be bothered to walk further. Yes though you are right don't leave your dog in the car if you're going to spend a ton of time in a store. Duh.

I always park in the back at my Costco because my car's been dented/scratched/trapped by a luxury SUV whose driver can't park so often that I just don't want to park next to others if I can avoid it. it's not even that I own a nice car, I'm just sick of looking at dings/scratches and wondering how long they've been there without me noticing the only lovely thing is crossing the road with my cart when I'm done because people drive like maniacs

I've had people honk at me for taking too long after loading my groceries up. I am extremely spiteful and don't value my time so I'll die in that spot before letting them have it at that point.

Chronojam posted:Standing freezer rocks because you can pile things on top of it and it still works I mean yeah but their geometry is such that you're likely not storing much up there - the main thing is just that you can find all your stuff we upgraded from our early-pandemic chest freezer to an upright this year, and while I felt kind of bad for donating something that was perfectly functional, and all bells and whistles aside, it has been totally worth it because of the massive difference in utility between a freezer where you can quickly see and access everything vs. one where you need to dig

Instigator calling hotdog guy fat should take his own life advice and go for a jog from a more remote spot, work up that hotdog appetite. Also I like how the radio show link takes 5 seconds to blame Biden for this incident. It does make me want to carry a gun though, to defend myself from those who would attack my private hotdog time like that. LGD posted:freezer where you can quickly see and access everything vs. one where you need to dig My fridge is one of those beverage fridges with the glass door on it and LED lightning inside. You'd think those would be inefficient, but the door stops me from opening it to remember what I have 50 times a day, so it's a net gain.

So we just spent like a week trying to figure out what the vacuum sealed solid rectangle was that we found at the bottom of the freezer chest Turns out it wasn’t mystery meat but a cinnamon butter loaf we tossed in last year, and after opening it up and thawing it we found it had the texture of soft cheese So maybe if you’re going to freeze these things don’t vacuum pack them lmao

There is this big sprinkler/splash pad thing that you hook up to the hose and it’s fun and I bought it because it was on sale and I used it once and I loving hate this thing. Storing it sucks and getting all the water out for storage sucks and it’s huge and I don’t know what I was thinking because my kids are equally as happy with me just spraying them with the hose. Anyway I’m going to Costco on my day off to return it in a big garbage bag and I feel a fool. At least there’s a hot dog with onions at the end.

Especially because of jerks like this: Rufio posted:I've had people honk at me for taking too long after loading my groceries up. I am extremely spiteful and don't value my time so I'll die in that spot before letting them have it at that point. You honk at me as I'm getting ready to leave, or block the lane, or even worse, someone else in, I am not leaving. I will sit in that spot, eat my glizzy, check emails and even clean it out. poo poo I might even go return other peoples carts. Which is something I will passively aggressively do if I see you leave your cart somewhere other than the cart return area. You get to watch me grab your cart and stare you down. Unless you are an elderly person, or a parent with kids or something. In that case I'll offer to take your cart if I'm on the way in or returning my own. Yea I guess it's no wonder I haven't gotten into a fight in a Costco parking lot myself. But we have to honor and respect our church or we'll become as vile and depraved as those that choose to willfully sin at Sam's Club.
