Same, but I also drive a truck and like being able to conveniently get in and out of the spot. Especially because of jerks like this:

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.

i just ignore them and move on with my life because holy poo poo who cares im not wasting my time like this

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.

I just go at 7pm on a weekday and it is all the parking you could ask for, no lines at the self checkout, and maybe have to wait to get gas but not a huge line. Only downside is no samples, but small price to pay.

Costco has the masterbuilt gravity fed 900 smokers for sale for like 650, trying to strongly hint at the wife what I want to replace my current smoker.

They also got some sweet kayaks, might snag her one for mothers day.

How much do I cum? The answer might surprise you!

you are 100% allowed to stay in your parking spot as long as you want. go back into the store and get another hot dog. wander into the tire center. get another hot dog. doesnt matter, its your spot.

taking your time and tempting people while you eat a hot dog? while it might be frustrating its still your spot. i had to buckle up the kid, make a phone call, and do a bunch of other poo poo one time in the car and this poor guy had his signal on the whole 10 minutes. sorry pal, im not on your schedule.

I'm sorry, but your car is the best place to eat a hot dog.

Some of y'all have done the risk analysis and deemed masks no longer necessary, I respectfully disagree and have decided they still are (FLTR masks off the Costco website, no less) for places like Costco where there are a ton of people inside a building breathing recirculating air. I'll take my lunch in my car, thanks.

edit: but seriously, gently caress people who don't return their carts. poo poo should be grounds for membership revocation.

The last couple of trips to Costco they've not had any of the things I was looking to buy. It is pretty grim. Here is a list of the things I wanted which they didn't have:
  • Large bottles of purple grape juice
  • 1.8KG tub of jelly belly jellybeans
  • Spaggetti squash
  • Mangos
  • The kind of trash bags I like
  • Tito's Vodka
  • Assorted vegan freezer items

And the food court line was been obscenely long, so I didn't even get pizza :(

What kind of fukken noob parks in an area where parking would be contested? Pros always park at the edge of the lot where it's empty and you don't spend 20 minutes waiting for people to walk past to get to a spot.

Have you ever lived in a city before? I've definitely had situations where there are cars circling around for any spot because the lot is totally full.

They have stopped carrying or can't get the red cap contact solution which we were regular buyers of for nearly a decade. The worst part is now I have to look every time as I feel like it should come back!

The chicken tacos by the same brand are actually pretty decent.

I've learned to never by any of the prepared dinners from the refrigerated section.

I don’t know about a whole lot but there are some incredibly mediocre products. A few years ago I bought some frozen chicken fajita bowls or whatever they were called that were utterly inedible. I really wish there would have been a sample table for them because then I would have known to steer clear.

yeah definitely

The orzo salad, in particular is really bad, the orzo is overcooked and its an acid time bomb ticking to give you reflux later.

The street tacos are unremarkable (and overpriced). Maybe the only thing in that section worthwhile is the chicken breast meat from rotisserie chickens, but its not hard at all to do that manually from the rotisserie chickens.

Made an unplanned stop at my local Church yesterday on the way back from working out of town. Picked up one of the caesar salad mixes, a double pack of mashed potatoes, a rotisserie chicken, and a case of Alani energy drinks since I'm about to finish off a case of Zoa.

I made up some chicken yakisoba stir fry from that section and it's all right. I also like the pot pie in pot pie season. I got my grieving friend a enchilada bake so they didn't have to cook and it was also a hit or they're just kind.

Trip report on 4505 chicharrones: I’m not allowed to buy them any more, I go through the bag too fast. Bizarrely, even on sale they’re more expensive than the generic brand ones at Aldi’s, though I imagine they’re better quality. From like, swank rear end pig hide and not 30-50 feral pigskins.

gently caress you, I tried these and they're basically just flavored with citric acid and lighter fluid. It wasn't just me, everyone who tried some was taken aback. I like other BBQ or Hot flavored pork rinds just fine. I was expecting these to at least taste like Takis but they were beyond caustic.

The parking lot thing reminds me of my few week stint in member services after hurting my arm. They had me posted at the door for 90% of it and I got to see a lot of weird poo poo going on in the lot. One day we had this elderly couple come in asking for security cam footage because they got into an altercation of some kind with a car that was waiting for their spot and at one point a knife came out and the couples tires got stabbed. I also saw people throwing punches at cars, honking matches, and yelling. It’s so dumb, there’s so much parking you just have to walk just slightly more to get to your car. I guess that’s just not worth it for some people :shrug:

The chicken ceasar salad is coming to our warehouse on Monday and I have mixed feelings. It’s being made by deli and then sold out of the food court, but I was told that due to under staffing it won’t be unusual for food court to go to deli and assist with prep. I’m pretty sure they will not be paying us the extra dollar for being in deli since it’s not actually our department. That said, I’m going to try it even if I think the price (seven dollars??) is kind of ridiculous.
