You're a traveler and don't care about free trips and hotel stays? Fair enough friend. All is accepted in the church.

Without the Sapp Reserve I never would have gotten to experience the sublime Andaz Papagayo, man, good times.

Anyways it's not worth a derail beyond this, just wanted to let people know what else they could do.

I mean that's good to know, I only have two credit cards, I've not traveled outside the US in 20+ years (not counting an ill-fated cruise to Mexico), and I'm a lazy gently caress. If I plan any real trips I'd probable consider going this route.

Anyway, back to church chat, the Issaquah location scanning cards was big enough that it hit the local Seattle newscast on KIRO, our CBS affiliate. Betting this rolls out to all Costco locations by Easter

Do they explain what the point of it is? Right now there's a person at the door looking at your card when you come in, and they want a device at the door to scan your card at and .... presumably a person next to the machine to make sure you actually do it? I don't get it.

Eventually no there probably won’t be a person there that’s the whole point of the machine.

Maybe if you try to check out with a card that didn't get scanned at the entrance you'll get scolded or banned from the food court for a month or something. You gonna risk losing access to that $1.50 1/4 POUND PLUS ALL BEEF HOT DOG AND 20oz. SODA (With Refill)? I didn't think so

I walked past it today, thinking about how I don't have room for it in my fridge. I might just reconsider.

I also figured out the cookie conundrum. Get a cookie and a vanilla ice cream and mush em up together. Simple.

I went to church on the second day of our portion of the snowstorm and it was a ghost town. I was able to browse the store at my leisure and enjoyed a hot dog on my way out. 10/10 Costco experience.

Don't get that, this is the only flashlight you'll ever need: https://www.amazon.com/Coast-30325-XPH30R-Rechargeable-Headlamp/dp/B08L8CQPPL

Runs on normal 18650 cell (included), recharges directly from USB-C without removing the battery, waterproof, can hold it in your hand, wear it on your head, has a magnet on the side so you can stick it to your car frame, has a twist lens to zoom it into a beam, hold the button for 60 seconds of Stupid-Bright, pocketable enough to be an every day carry. Feels way higher quality then the aliexpress lights I used before.

Yeah let's be real, we all want a flashlight that can also double as a bludgeon. I would have grabbed that Costco one had I seen it, all the ones I own are tiny.

I feel like the hands-free flashlight plus knife is better combo and one you're more likely to have on you. Clubbing someone with the old D-battery Maglite is a cop thing.

Yeah I can see the logic. But the appeal of the flashlight bludgeon goes beyond cop, it's a primal caveman mode.

Yeah I get that but it’s not shaped like a flashlight. I don’t think that Costco one is a bad deal really. It’s $30 and comes with a rechargeable battery :shrug:

(I also don’t need another headlamp but I’ve put it on my wishlist for later drat you :argh: )

WUT.
tried the cookie today. it was ok. probably won't get another one, but my curiosity was satisfied.

wasn't super dry, but also was kinda crispy like an actual homemade cookie. probably all the butter crisping up, lol. just was kind of boring is all. give me an oatmeal raisini the size of my head, or something.

had it with the ice cream, which paired well. with how everyone talks about them i thought this would be way more filling of a combination than it was. these two are fine, but the dog+soda i also had on top of it was a bit much. i don't usually regret getting the dog, but this time i did a little bit

i guess part of what makes it seem not worth $2.50 is that i can make cookies whenever, but i can't easily make my own churros. much to think about
