SgtScruffy posted:Just went to Costco. One of the pressure sensors in my tires has been loving up, so I dropped my car off at the tire center while I shopped. They'd fixed it about an hour later as I shopped. I turned on my car, and the check engine light was now on. I went back and asked them about it and if they could look at it because it wasn't on before, and they said "huh, we didnt see the check engine light, and we cant look up the codes. Sorry, cant do anything about it". You can get a bluetooth code reader for like $20 and just get an app for your phone to read codes. I leave mine plugged in all the time, It's pretty nice knowing what the check engine light error is when they come on. Have to be careful on the apps, some of them are bullshit and want you to pay to clear the codes... (I use Car Scanner now & have used Torque lite in the past). I drive an older 150k+ mile car so it throws codes sometimes... Well page snipe for the church.

Fatrick posted:Yeah, they're just a tire shop, they don't have any diagnostic or servicing tools and materials. Most tire shops should at least diagnose and repair a bad tpms though Depending on your car it's possible a faulty tpms might make your light go on. Your experience is the same as mine for pretty much every time I get my car serviced. Last time, Honda put my headlights back in upsidedown.

If a TPMS issue sets a check engine light, it should only be for reasons well outside the realm of a tire shop's purview - i.e. the TPMS computer itself isn't communicating properly with the rest of the car. Tire shops just make sure the sensor itself is reporting, paired, and not leaking air. None of those should ever set a check engine light on any car even if they are not done right.

When should I buy my tires, I don't know about this poo poo buy them when any one of these conditions is true: the tread is worn down, the tires are too old, or you've driven too many miles on them but also if you have discount tire near you, they're really good. two places to check for deals is better than one.

Original_Z posted:This is an odd thing but I keep the mixed nuts and the bag of almonds on a shelf above my oven and when I went to grab them right after using it one time I noticed the bottom of the mixed nuts container was somewhat hot, not dangerously so or anything but definitely noticeable. The almond bag seemed fine but it would have been exposed to the same heat. The plastic doesn't seem to have melted or anything, but I'm kind of worried that the food is contaminated now with leeched plastic, anyone know if they're safe to eat or I should trash them? I assume it's something that's been going on for awhile since I very slowly pick away at them and they've been there for months. Return when you're down to that last 10%.

We just freeze them immediately in their bags for a couple hours, then vacuum seal em' after that. They do get crushed a bit, but they always defrost perfectly. A bit ago we were chatting about this exact thing in this thread and someone mentioned doing this was wasting plastic and instead they just let them go bad and buy more. The bagels come in plastic!

It is possible to eat the enchiladas if you cut in half and eat half one day and half the other. The Meatloaf and potatoes is a meal for 1.

could someone who is very familiar with costcos return policy let me know if they would refund (or replace) a sonicare toothbrush 2-pack i bought dec 2022 and they both already crapped out? not the replaceable head part but the battery/handle itself. i have the receipt as it was an online order. or do i need to take that up with the manufacturer at this point?

Well someone in here recently returned a careworn bed frame that they bought at the beginning of the pandemic. Each location handles returns a little differently, but you'll probably be fine bringing them back to the store

According to that, they *arguably* don't count tooth brushes as electronics, so therefore there should be no limit to the return window. Just bring them in, explain the issue, and act cool and gracious about it and I'm sure they'll take them unless the grunt there is having a super bad day. Today they refunded me for the bagels I had that got moldy, $8 back on my card. The guy at the counter said "just bring them in next time, if you don't bring them I need a key to override it". I'm like, you're sure you want me to bring a bag of spores?! And he's like "Yup!"

I returned mine after about 10 months for a replacement, no questions asked. It was the same thing, the handle on one had died and the other sounded like a cement mixer when you turned it on because it rattled so much.

Is it…not supposed to sound like an old-timey cartoon pump? That’s what the one I bought from Costco sounds like, though I haven’t tried the cordless one of the pair.

Say hi, ask how their day is, and thank them for being helpful and they would probably let you return a $5 rotis chicken skeleton after you made stock. Being friendly is like a golden ticket that unlocks the secret perks at every store. And if you want a friend for life, fill out a comment card and mention how helpful that person was and how it made your day and it has you consider upgrading your membership (even if you are already an executive member)!

Seriously, I see customers at the returns counter go into Karen-mode and that poo poo never works as well as a smile and an "aw, shucks". Costco employees are paid better than 99% of retail so they're already of a sunny disposition. Just be cool.pentyne posted:there's been some social media chatter that store managers get the final say on a return and if you abuse the system they can cancel your membership and make your ineligible to get another one For a manager to show up and tell you to gently caress off forever, it's not because you abused the system, it's because you abused the staff. As a returner of well-used beds and ghost-bagels, I've never gotten anyone at Costco to so much as frown at me. I'm a goon so you know my charisma roll isn't that high. If you are getting strong resistance on a return and can't resolve it with meek, gentle pleading, just say "ok, I understand, no worries" and try it months later at a different site or shift.

thathonkey posted:i dont think this would count as abuse they both broke under normal use ~6 months so im gonna give it a shot I actually returned a Roomba that crapped out six months after purchase too. Battery went to poo poo and wouldn't hold a charge. The interesting part of this story is that I only thought I bought it at Costco. So I bring it in and hand it over and the guy says "weird we sell the Roomba abc and this is the Roomba bcd and your account says you already returned a Roomba months ago. Hold up let me get the manager." At this point I start apologizing profusely because it has now dawned on me I had returned my old Roomba to Costco six months ago and bought a replacement at Best Buy. So I was returning a Best Buy Roomba to Costco that Costco didn't even sell. I felt like an rear end and asked for the Roomba back so I could walk out in very deserved shame. The manager refused to give me my broken Roomba back despite my embarrassed pleading and handed over the $350 price of the Roomba abc in cash. 10/10 Costco experience. I used the experience as inspiration to get the executive and the Costco Citi card. So yes return the toothbrush it'll be no problem. Edit I also returned bagels once. They were rancid so I tossed 'em. I didn't even have them to return but my husband talked me into trying. I just explained the situation to the return desk and they refunded no problem.

The bagels are known to mold up within 2 days of purchase, I would be surprised if they didn’t do returns on them blind daily.

I got another dozen, I'm just realizing what a pain in the rear end it is to freeze them though, I have to slice them all first, wash the Everything off my hands, put them back in the bags, and the bags use scotch tape instead of those plastic clips like everything else on the planet. First-world problems. positivity edit: Giant bag of Pretzel Crisps with the Government Cheese brick of Cabot's is loving amazing. Zero VGS fucked around with this message at 07:52 on Jul 8, 2023 |
