Will Costco exchange diapers for another size? My coworkers threw a pamper party for me and there were a lot of Kirkland Size 1 boxes (Last count, I've got 1200+ size 1 diapers).

Pro tip if you tape two diapers together it lets you go up a size.

It’s basically Golden Grahams cereal pieces with mini marshmallows and melted chocolate on top.

It was decent, but didn’t feel worth the markup. Like you could buy the three components separately and easily make it yourself for a third of the price.

I routinely buy all sorts of things labeled as S’Mores flavored. Partly because it really annoys my wife (she says it can’t be called s’more without toasty marshmallow) and partly because I really like chocolate and graham cracker flavor combo.

The Fannie May s’more mix is decent chocolate covering Golden Grahams cereal with the occasional marshmallow thrown in that manages to stay soft. I like it, but it doesn’t really evoke s’mores very well because you don’t often get graham and marshmallow in every bite. I do like it in the cabinet for an occasional hit of chocolate with a bit of crunchy graham inside, and I am way too lazy to try and concoct my own that would be a giant mess.

drat I got straight BARKED at for my membership card heading into self-checkout this morning. Like, ok, my arms are obviously full of stuff that I need to put down first, can you maybe take a breath while I get my phone out? There was a second employee in a bouncer stance at the end of the row of registers giving everyone the stink eye too.

Grabbed a latte freeze on a whim on the way out; nice treat on a hot morning but I wish it wasn't so sweet, couldn't even really taste any coffee. Disappointing, but not really surprising given their other coffee offerings.

Apparently Costco is going crazy over people borrowing membership cards and using self-checkout. People on FB/Reddit have been experiencing the same. I

They have people's pics on the cards here and they always check and always have. I got my card while they were still just a tent setup outside the unopened building so I never got my pic taken and so they always ask for my ID.

it used to be completely empty but I think people have figured out dealing with self check is worth the extra effort because it's so much faster than waiting in a 3-deep line at a register, much less 5+ during busy hours

wow, I just hold up my card in their general direction at the front door and have never gotten any attention past that except at the register when they do the barcode scan. I've never once been asked for ID.

I was alone and she dropped it as soon as I showed my phone, but I did have my backpack and mask on so maybe I looked like a potential shoplifter or something :shrug:

Ok I do always walk right past the receipt checkers at the door but I doubt she knew that...

Yeah it's ridiculous from Reddit

quote:

Anyway, Im a busy mom (pregnant with my second) I always bring my toddler and go biweekly to get in and out fast and mind my business. I like to use self checkout because I like to move fast. This particular trip today I brought my mother in law who is visiting for a few weeks from out of the country and doesn't speak any English. She has never even seen a costco so it was all interesting for her.
She was kind enough to push my carriage for me so as we approach the self checkout I show the employee my card with photo and proceed to a register. She actually physically got in front of my mother in law and the carriage and demanded her costco card. My MIL cannot speak English and had no idea what was going on. I said "she's with me." And she proceeded to say she needed a card. I told her it's all of my stuff, she's my MIL and not even from here, and she moved aside and said "you can only use 1 card for this order."
Mind you while she is questioning me for literally nothing I am doing wrong, several people walked right on by without getting their cards checked lol.
So really defeated the purpose there Costco. I was so frazzled by the entire encounter and accusation that I could barely check myself out appropriately, but I got ahold of myself and got out of there. Now I think I'I never use self checkout again.

Also they really need to work on self check out. Last week I stopped by for some stuff for work and was told by the lady checking memberships about how I can now use the scan gun myself without staff.

This week all scan guns were gone.

It's an incredibly simple concept. Whoever has the card, the member, is the one that pays. At least that's how I would understand it. You can't walk in with some friend to buy a $1,000 fridge and flash your membership card and then someone else pays for it. That's pretty obvious.

I don't understand the confusion with this.

This isn't Netflix password sharing. This is Costco my friend. And cheaters drive up our costs.

edit: also gently caress self-checkouts. I'm getting very :corsair: about that and essentially stopped using them. I have 30 items in my cart and there are 6 self-checkouts open and just a single register with 4 people waiting with full carts ahead of me. I'll loving wait. You ain't paying me to scan and pack my own poo poo.
