I don't want to hear that Costco.com is bad because I just bought a laptop and now I'm nervous.

Is any of the packaged premade food at Costco any good? I’m not talking about the stuff made on site, a lot of that is decent. I just got burned by the phad Thai, it was totally bland. I’m too lazy to actually cook so in theory I’m the target market for these.

I really like the Indian stuff in the refrigerated section.  This brand has a few different options and they have all been good.

Quiet Feet posted:I don't want to hear that Costco.com is bad because I just bought a laptop and now I'm nervous. They have issues, but it's still pretty decent overall. It doesn't look like there is a breakdown of online vs brick and mortar sales, but a couple of websites are estimating more than $10 billion in online sales. Clearly it's a popular place to shop despite the clunky interface. Plus, I ordered diapers for my 4 month old and they sent two boxes but charged me for one, so it's ok in my book. Not as nice as Target though who billed me for 6 1-liter bottles of formula but shipped me 6 cases of formula instead.

Corb3t posted:Costco is known to be really cheap on investing in eComm, and many think it's intentional because they want you to come into their stores and impulse buy other products. Those people are wrong. They're constantly trying to get the store employees to push online. The company is just incompetent at online selling.

Even my kids liked it so I consider that a ringing endorsement.

Enos Cabell posted:I really like the Indian stuff in the refrigerated section. The Sukhi's chicken tikka and coconut curry taste pretty good to me. My wife thinks they are borderline too spicy, but she also orders a 1 star when we get Thai and that's sometimes too much for her. The Sukhi's rice isn't worth it though, don't bother with it.

But up until like 6 or 7 years ago they completely ignored their online store. As soon as they started promoting costco.com even a little bit, they immediately saw a 30% increase in online sales. Just another example of how Costco is behind the times with a lot of things and is slow to catch up.

They were clearing out the schnitzel in our store so it was only like $1.29/lb or something.

That and the aging demographics of our stores are the two biggest challenges that they've targeted for the future. The problem of getting younger people in the store might actually be worse than the online issues.

Because otherwise it's a bit steep.

Have Pete Davidson do a cook off vs Bird With a Big Dick and you'll get all the youth to think you are hip and with it.

I mean, on one station you’ll get Pete filling a Greenmade 27 Gallon Storage Bin with Ruffles, and on the other, BWBD will be serving what was once identifiable as salmon heads poached in Liquid IV.

I don't see the demographics of Costco as a problem. It's not a store meant for a 20 year old single person in a tiny apartment. It's a store you grow into as your needs evolve.

I know a family with a 11 year old and twin 9 year olds. The kids consume ridiculous amounts of food. The parents don't think they need a Costco membership and are content buying bulk at Fred Meyer and Whole Foods. They're insane.
