Is there a limit to how many Costco gift cards you can use on a single order?

Edit: online order

Guy should definitely be written up if not fired for spitting in a store in front of other customers. That's gross and disgusting. Let alone just to try and aggravate someone wearing a mask.

I ordered luscious new gemstones from India and made new earrings for my SA mart thread

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread
As a mask wearer due to my brother's chemo I thank you for going to management.

Don't think you should look for a confrontation if it's repeated, rather different management at Costco FOR SURE.

This is a great thread let's leave it there

Shaken in my faith in the church. Scheduled an appointment a week in advance for tpms sensors at the tire dept as mine started flashing on the console for tires installed last year (interestingly I only got tires because of the tpms sensors flashing and they did a "maintenance pack" on them whatever that is). Guy scheduling was super cool. Arrive and they take the car and an hour and a half later tell me the tpms sensors are flashing and they dont have any in stock to replace so I would have to schedule an appointment to come back in. During this time they rotated and filled the nitrogen in the tires (things not asked) then decided to call. What the what?

It’s a good idea to wear a mask at Costco. I wish more physically able people would, so that even with my own mask on, the store would be safer for the previous posters or posters like me who have a chronically ill partner who can’t risk getting any sicker, and because of the aforementioned partner, can’t really afford to order everything delivered.

Even then, there are canned vegetables that hold up slightly better, and of those only tomatoes belong in chili

E: I guess beans too if you want

I special ordered some tires for my car because it was a really good deal. It gets shipped to store and you make an appointment to go get them installed. I make an appointment, get the notification that they are delivered, everything’s good. I get to the store and they are like oh your tires aren’t here, I ask for the manager and ask them to double check. He says they aren’t there, I need to come back. I tell him I got the shipping notification and show it to him and he just kind of shrugs at me and says it must be wrong. I scrolled down a little on the delivery confirmation and saw who signed for it, it was literally the tech that is standing right next to him as we are having the conversation. I show him the signature and he continues stonewalling me. He says they have the model in stock and that I can buy them and then they can refund me when mine come in, and I’m like they’re special order the only reason you’d have them is that you guys scanned them in but didn’t mark them as mine. I insisted I wasn’t going to buy the tires that I already paid for and that I’m going to go talk to the store manager. I know her because I worked at church a while ago and am fb friends with her, but I didn’t throw that in his face or anything.

Finally, he walks into the back for a little bit after I say I’m going to talk to the store manager and then comes out with a label with my name on it that was attached to the tires and they just didn’t scan them in as mine. This whole argument took nearly 20 minutes and he could’ve just gone and looked but instead tried to just get me to leave. He says they’ll rush to get everything installed for the inconvenience and apologizes, whatever. I go with my buddy who is with me to go get a hot dog and calm down.

They call me pretty quickly and tell me that they’re done so my buddy jets and I go to look at the tires. Two of them are dead flat in the parking lot, so I walk over and tell them and they start freaking out then pull the car in to inspect it and fixed it.

Just overall a really aggravating experience. I’d been going to Discount Tire for about a decade prior to that for my tires and I’ll be going back to them when these ones are done.

The cat food is very choice as well, our cats thoroughly enjoy it, so i imagine it will add a earthy balance to the chili in question.

Whatever happened with the costco pesto? It used to be amazing but I haven't seen it sold in a pretty long time.

Zoom! Swish! Bang!
Question about listed TV prices online and how long they're good for. A couple TVs we're considering both say "Price valid through 12/31/23”. The price isn't door buster amazing or anything--it's the same as Best Buy etc but with a better warranty. Now that I look, it seems like all TVs on the website have the same, but with various different dates.

We're not able to get the TV before mid January at the earliest. Do those dates necessarily mean the price will go up (or product not be in stock) soon, or is that just typical boilerplate they put on all appliances regardless of planned price increases?

The prices will almost certainly increase on January 1. By how much? I have no clue.

Do you have a Les Schwab Tire near you? I'm from Canada, and I got a flat in Oregon once and the Les Schwab guys fixed it for free and didn't even let me try and give them $20 just for helping me out. Like, I left them $20 on the counter and the guy came out and said "you forgot this!" And tossed my $20 to me through my window as I was pulling out of the parking lot.

Best experience with a Tire shop I've ever had. I'll never get a chance to shop there again, but hell if I won't sing their praises to my American friends any time I can.
