I saw a big package of pokemon cards intended as a trick-or-treat gift today. Not sure if that's the best of ideas, lots of kids probably won't care enough about them. Maybe as an option: have some chocolate and if you want a pack go for it.

my costco got rid of beyond sausage packs and ive been devastated for like 6 months pray for me

Huh I never saw the beyond meat sausages at my costco. Were they frozen? I never go by the meat area so IDK if they'd have been there.

They did have the field roast sausages a few times, which are more of a seitan sausage. The nice part of those is they're ready to eat so it'd make a decent sandwich/hotdog for a take along lunch to the zoo or something like that. But they're not really like sausage at all, it's very seitan-y

Has anyone been to a business center recently? In the far off, pre-pandemic times of 2019 you could get some pretty nice brisket for stupid cheap, but before I schlep all the way to Hackensack I'd like to know if the price is still in the same ballpark.

Canned mushrooms have their uses. They're especially handy to throw in as an addition to already prepared food, since they're basically already cooked. Throwing them into a Life Cuisine cauliflower pizza bowl thing was actually really good, now that I think about it.

We got these last year and they were a huge hit. I probably won't do it again since they're probably mostly the same cards and mostly the same kids.

Maybe for 5x the price? Everything is significantly more expensive since 2019, and beef is even higher

Zooming in on the price there i bought a brisket (not from the business center) and it was $75.00 for about the same ones as those.

So roughly 2x as much.

now that you have their expectations up you could get a bunch of fake super rare cards off of aliexpress. the kids would be beyond stoked and at the same time you would crash the local market for trading those things and that is a social good right there

Hello.

I do not eat mango but my mango smoothie experience is that the last time I attended my local Costco the lady ahead of me got one, took one sip and immediately asked for her money back. Thank you.

Kinda disappointed in the samples last time. Frozen pizza was nice I guess. Got random sale stuff like Beyond Burgers and picked up a handle of the Canadian whiskey.

You sure you’re not thinking of the Biscoff cookies? I’d never had them until finding them at Costco years ago and when I’d bring them up to people, they’d say “oh yeah, those are the airplane cookies”.

Those too! Also sometimes I get nature's bakery fig bars which are a good Costco snack and airplane cookie.

When I was still working in an office, I kept my desk full of those fig bars, as well as the madras lentils and the microwavable rice packs. And yeah the Biscoff cookies are one of my favorite things with coffee; recently they also had a box of oreo-style Biscoff sandwich cookies.

I have to yell at members constantly in food court and they loving hate it and i loving hate it but administration wants us to do it and they REALLY ride out rear end about it. :( I'm always yelling TWO LINES MEMBERS TWO LINES and then they come up at me and yell at me for yelling at them and it just sucks. it sucks so bad. they want us to put them in two lines even if its just me there. they would rather the lines be split and look "nice" and have me go back and forth between the lines than pretty much any other option. i hate it!!!!! deliver me from this hell!

Went to church last night. After checking out I was scoping out the food court condiments looking to see if my congregation had been blessed with onions again. Sadly, it was the same setup it has been (mustard, ketchup, relish). I admit, I was disappointed, frustrated... I felt doubt enter my heart. I kept walking, with my receipt dutifully in hand, preparing for the cart check sacrament. At the last food court table, right next to the car display, there was a happy man eating a hot dog and drink (w. refill). He had onions sprinkled on his dog. I smiled and nodded. He nodded back, obviously satisfied. My brief crisis of faith was resolved.

Hah, that’s basically what I was talking about here:

Blue Moonlight posted:

The only customer-directed “not chill” I’ve ever really experienced is food court related…

It wasn’t even someone in the food court yelling, it was someone on his break in line with the rest of us, and the folks that moved to the second line gave him the dirtiest looks in the world when the food court cashier proceeded to ignore them.

I didn’t know it was some corporate edict - sorry you have to enforce that. If they want two lanes, they should be installing queue stanchions (that aren’t wide enough for carts :colbert:) or something, not relying on paint on the floor and yelling.

yes, if they have a good kohl or waterpik one, unless you live in CA where by law all showerheads have to be low flow.

The waterpik ones you should be able to just take it slightly apart and remove the water regulator, just a solid chunk of plastic, and then get the kind of spray that might actually hurt if your skin is sensitive.
