I use the Costco app instead of always having to remember to have my card with me. It's far easier to pull my phone out then fish in my backpack for the card anyway.

On most of my visits I buy just a few things and throw them in my backpack, and the receipt checkers barely even glance at me as I walk right past them and out the door. Nothing in my hands = no need to check a receipt I guess.

This is illegal. You are a criminal.

honestly between this and giving me poo poo for saying i felt disturbed and unsafe working next to someone who says disturbing things to me on purpose just to upset me, i'm tempted to shoot a line to corporate about her. unfortunately shes been in this position for 32 years so i imagine she's more practiced in maneuvering her way around the corporate world than i am. i also worry about it coming back to me. she said she can't retaliate against me, but she also stressed that i can't trust anyone in the warehouse so idk.

Tell corporate that you feel like your workplace has become threatening. "Threatening workplace" is like slapping a big red HR panic button, have fun!

Hello, dear readers, and welcome to today's episode of Adventures in poo poo That Never, Ever, Would've Happened To Me Pre-Transition. I'm your host, a bemused LividLiquid.

I was at Costco buying proteins to stock my freezer two weeks ago when I found a package of pork belly cuts of which I quite liked the look. A rather attractive set that carried little risk of inflicting upon myself and my dining partners the dreaded Cap'n Crunch's Oops! All Pork Fat bite of your taco.

As I was checking the packaging for dairy (I'm allergic and you wouldn't believe where they sneak that poo poo), the man next to me, frustrated at the rest of the offerings on display, shrugged, turned to me, and grabbed it out of my hand, proclaiming, "I want this one."

As he sauntered off just pleased as punch with his "find," I stood, mouth agape, wondering what could've possessed him to do such a thing. I wasn't just looking at it. It was in my hand. I had wrested it from its chilly confines and planted my flag, claiming it for Livid's House of Dog Hair and Bad Ideas in the great nation of Liquidia.

Then I looked down, saw a meager pair of boobs that still occasionally surprise me with their presence, and no further questioning was necessary.

I looked to and fro when my perplexedness (it's a word! Shut up!) subsided, seeking the validation of the Woman Nod from an onlooker. That sweet, blessed, wordless "yes, I saw it, it was messed up, and you're not imagining this."

But there were no onlookers to be found. And much the same as my mammary-induced prior remembrance, I called to mind that men like this are usually only emboldened to perform these acts of abject bullshittery when they can go unobserved.

Character is what we do when nobody is watching. This man — whom I will remember for the rest of my life every time I enter a Costco or eat a dish made from such, as The Pork Belly Bandit — has shown his.

Beware ye, The Pork Belly Bandit. Some say in the quieted halls of long-abandoned membership warehouses, he stalks the aisles to this very day, seeking hapless middle-aged women from whom he can wrest ill-gotten sow.

That is just bonkers. I mean, I don't doubt it, but it's just mind-boggling that assholes like that are roaming around free-range. I figure that I don't see a lot of that kind of thing happen for exactly the reason you state - these cowards won't pull poo poo like that if they are being watched, and my presence makes them behave.

I had my stun gun with me, but he was out of sight before I even knew what the gently caress had just happened. Not that I'd stun somebody over a package of pork belly.

What really gets me is that he did it, like, politely. He didn't have that sour puss typical of mediocre men who gently caress with me. He was smiling and acted like it was the most normal thing in the world. Like I was holding it specifically for him and he was doing me a favor taking it off my hands.

Highly recommend the pretzel nuggets pack especially if you have an air fryer. The mustard is fine but not spicy enough and the cheese is good.

The green hatch chili queso is also good, even cold.

Is the month/year on the back of your Costco card the expiration date of your membership?

I thought I purchased a membership, but the date says 5/23 (the month I went in and bought prescription glasses) and now when I try to add my Costco number in the app it says my membership expired.

E: it says "cancelled," not expired.

Got a rotisserie chicken, bigass bag of carrots and a thing of rotini pasta from Costco.

Ate some of the chicken for dinner, then tossed the rest in a pot, boiled it, let it cool and put on latex gloves, stick my hands in there and pick all the bones out, toss in the carrots and rotini and reboil for a huge pot of soup. Gave just the cartilage bits to the dog. Not a scrap wasted.

They gave me poo poo once when I didn't bring in some rotten apples, so they will forever get rotten food from me.

I've seen it at mine. Not only do I not want to spend that kind of money on that little amount of meat, the color seemed a little too grey in person. It gave the impression that it was frozen for a very long time.

I'm sure there was nothing wrong with it, and lord knows I've eaten steaks out of my freezer that's been frozen for a full year, but something in my gut was just screaming that it was super not worth it.

The color didn't bother me too much, I figured it was maybe just because it was frozen? But if I was going to spend $100/lb on Wagyu I would also prefer to not have it frozen.

It's a very good price for genuine A5 Japanese Wagyu. I wouldn't have any concerns about it being frozen. I would wager that most A5 from Japan is frozen at some point. It comes around from time to time, usually around the holidays.

If you love steak everyone should have the opportunity to try A5 at least once. It's something to experience. You don't really sit down and just eat this like you would a normal steak. It's way to rich for that. This is something special you get when hosting some friends or family, and everyone gets to try a couple ounces of it. Cook it medium rare and it'll just melt in your mouth. It's different than even a prime grade american steak.

I've never bought this from Costco as it's too much for me to enjoy, and I don't host family around the holidays. I've been fortunate enough to have A5 a couple times at some nicer restaurants and it's a special treat. It's a little weird when they give you a certificate of authenticity with the cow's name or serial number on it though.

Honestly waygu is one of those things I'll let someone else cook. I pretty much never gently caress up cooking my normal steaks, but I've never done something that high fat and I'd feel like poo poo if I over did it.

It's not something you're going to be buying often, just get it at a nice restaurant if you want to try it.
