They charcoal filter it before selling as part of their process, which gives them an opportunity to essentially gift pack it in a clean barrel that's not covered in dust and rust and mold and yellowjackets. Like it should be

Most of the price is taxes. Distillers are taxed based on entry proof, time in barrel (essentially) and sales. The corn is cheap but keeping it safe for at least three years is not

I worry what you just heard was...
"Give me a lot of b4con_n_3ggs."

What I said was...
"Give me all the 3ggs_n_b4con you have"

idk if it's literally a check but they absolutely make good about that difference, yeah.
You'll never find a time that is reliably not busy. I've gotten lucky a couple of times, like Sunday at opening, but that's about it

oh right

the business center buy me never has a line for gas so that's the best part of all of this. i will probably use that for most things vs. the regular warehouse as I don't need food items typically

The giant faux fur rugs are super nice, bought one last week and it is a nice rug on the floor, feels nice and just seems to fit anywhere. Well worth the cost.

Buy the Sherpa blanket if they have one, thing is amazing already and the price is obscenly low for the value.

I have one and I do like it a lot but the cats had a drat field day. Idk what kind of evolutionary instinct is happening here but they would come in and just dig up the entire rug so it was upside down and layered up.

It was so bad I had to get these little rug stickers off Amazon that fixes the nodes of the fur to the hardwood. Good rug besides that.

Pineapples make me unable to taste, but I love them, and I think you're doing the lord's work. I got your sous vide grey meat joke too btw.

What's all in that?

It's legitimately hilarious to me that people think you're making bad food. The trolling is off the charts.

Pineapples contain bromelain which is an enzyme that breaks down protein. So it's basically burning your tongue, but most people aren't particularly sensitive to it. Some people get a burning sensation.

Personally my ability to taste is effected once the enzyme gets to work on my tongue. It takes away like 75% of my ability to taste for pretty much the whole day, it's awful. That is pretty rare though, I think.

I'm curious, on what grounds would it make someone taste better? In some parts of the world, pineapple is added to meat marinades and such to make the meat more tender.

I ate a whole pineapple in a single sitting once and the next day the inside of my mouth was sloughing off.

Wasn’t painful. Was just shedding like a lizard.

Those people are wrong. They're constantly trying to get the store employees to push online. The company is just incompetent at online selling.

If they really cared about ecomm they'd pay their IT employees market rate. But they don't. So it will continue to suck.

They literally pay their retail associates more than some IT-related roles that require 2/4-year degrees. It makes no sense.

It's not automatic, you gotta go do the walk of shame at member services if you want the difference back.
