Wendigee posted:... Shop lifters? There's a line at the exit where you show your receipt lol I used to think that too. There's plenty of stuff you could stuff in your clothes though? Especially if it was liberated from larger packaging. The supplements and drugs aisle has a lot. They want to reinforce the concept of a members club and they use those people to count the number of shoppers for checkout staffing. Twice I have seen thieves at the hardware store walk out with as many tools as they could (one with a bucket and arms full, the second with a cart) while the employees berate without touching. Checking your receipt is not the same as going through a customs checkpoint or something, limiting unwanted people in has to reduce the risk. quote:"By strictly controlling the entrances and exits and using a membership format, we believe our inventory losses (shrinkage) are well below those of typical retail operations," Costco says in its annual report each year.

What's the dude at the front who checks your card gonna do if you just keep walking grab something and bolt? Both scenarios are silly.

I’m surprised they allowed your backpack. One time we loaded all our stuff into grocery bags after paying and set them on our cart but we still had to unbag everything so the person could check the items.

I've been shopping this way at that location for a few years now and have never gotten any kind of push back or even a comment on it, and the few times that I've had my backpack on and a second bag in my hand they have stopped me and asked to check my backpack as well as the bag. I think they simply don't see me as a shopper if I'm not carrying something; being a decently-dressed white guy may have something to do with it too.

I feel compelled to ask. What is that nougat? The crackers looks savory, especially with the green onion. Pretty good, in fact. The nougat in the photo looks like marshmallow, though, and it's putting me off. Is this a sweet 'n savory combo, or some sort of savory filling? I feel like I'm both having my leg pulled and missing something entirely.

Nougat sucks even in candy bars, it's just cheap filler, so I wrote off the loving crackers immediately. Reading that box disgusted me.

I own literally nothing but cargo shorts and cargo pants. They're kind of stealthy cargo pants that look like slacks, but they still got a shitload of pockets. Edit: I wish CostCo sold sportcoats. For a long time Sears was my fallback for those, and now it seems like the best I can find is Kohls. I'd love me some Kirkland sportcoats and blazers.

Wendigee posted:Gonna tuck 25 lbs of kimchi in your pants? ‘No sir, that’s just my enormous dongg. With two g’s.’ Went yesterday to get some more yogurt and saw those elote spice-flavored snacks marked down to like half price with a .97 so decided I’d try them. Not sure what I thought they were going to be originally but I’m bad at reading so it wasn’t the pub mix it actually was. Pretty okay for $5 but not the $9 or whatever it was originally. Doing the every-couple-months big Costco run next weekend, list isn’t actually that long but I know it’s gonna be on the pricy side because I have to restock on protein shakes.

Protein shakes for my son and dog food is what kills us on our big trips. I've never bought dog food anywhere else, so I'm sure the costco price is good comparably, but ~$40 a bag adds up quick!
