They are 100% not chopped in store. The chicken bakes are not made in store either but I think that has been discussed in the thread before.

Apparently my Costco is going to start selling a mango smoothie in the food court. I assume it's going to be delicious but overpriced.

the checkout area should have multiple mobile vendors, maybe a juggler or guitarist to spice things up

More entertaining than the gauntlet of HVAC install or water softener sales reps you have to walk through to leave.

I just spent $300 and I gotta get these popsicles back in a freezer it's not a good time to talk about my air conditioner!

I find the pizza to be better if you heat it up to be crispy at like 10 mins at 400.

After a number of visits I am ready to declare the Lone Tree Colorado Costco as a cursed place and any goons in the area should forsaken it for any other Costco. At least during the daytime hours.

Edit, to be clear this is the congregation, not the clergy who have cursed this location.

Pizza pro tip: if you’re in the mood, get a big ol’ cast iron pan nice and hot with a little oil and throw your slice in there cheese side down for a minute or so. Then you can enjoy the crispy cheese and toppings without ducking your crust up.

I've seen them fill the onion dispenser before. It's just a large sealed bag of chopped onions. A few pounds.

I see the Kirkland batteries say “new and improved”! Are they still Duracell crap?

I used to buy those and they always corroded the heck out of my remotes and other electronics.

Lithium cells are awesome for remotes because they last a very long time. The extra voltage is also nice for noise hair trimmers.

This was how I discovered that making my own homemade pizza was beyond me. The perfect pan crust of my childhood, replicated by day-after pizza, right-side up, five minutes in a hot skillet with some oil.

Best food court memories here is when they had Montreal smoked meat sandwiches. They kept pouches of smoked meat in hot water and would open them up and put them on a bun when you ordered. Kosher dill on the side and load it up with onions, sauerkraut and mustard from the condiment bar.

unless they fill those single use containers that day in store those onions are probably not fresh and so have lost a lot of the oniony compounds

yeah i wouldnt expect the lil cups to be super fresh, but also not very different from what the crank grinder would dispense. maybe not enough people know about them, so they don't get turned over as often as the dispenser would

suhhhh girl you want some clearance truffles? That is not a colloquialism, I appreciate value mamacita. Oh you noticed I'm a gold member? That ain't the only gold member on deck ifyaknowwhatimsaying.

That's when she brings up the uncomfortable elephant in the room that while she appreciates the economic 1-2 punch of a $1.50 hot dog WITH refill, there is no longer an onion dispenser and the feeling is gone. That's when you slip that snack size ziploc of lukewarm diced onions out your back pocket- bag em and tag em, she never had a chance.

e: btw one time when I was like 12 we went to Costco with my friend John after junior lifeguards and the costco drink machine was pourin straight syrup and we both spent like 2 days drinking an entire large cup of costco lemonade drink syrup. idk how you gently caress up that much that you just connect the syrup hose to the poo poo, so I choose to believe this was some form of intentional civil disobedience against the shareholders.

I'm sure you can imagine though, the thoughts going through the heads of two 12 year olds who just discovered that the button dispenses syrup. We were doing heavy napkin math on starting our own lemonade biz at school.

All rotisserie that's less then $10 is going to be gross.

It's supposed to be not a delicious meal, its a cheap staple you can do a million things with, all those things including somehow adding more flavor to the meal.

Rotisserie chicken is a waste. Just buy a whole chicken, spatchcock it and throw it in the air fryer. It's easy as poo poo.
