If a new costco opens near you, go the night before. Starting 6pm there is free food and stuff. Food court fare + they bring in caterers who cook up all sorts of Costco products. All the bigwigs go if you fancy meeting Craig Jelanik (sp) or sometimes Jim Sinegal. It's open to members (no, they don't check for memberships). Source; I go to like 5 a year cuz I open the buildings

Be nice to the people who's poo poo we sell 5. Do the other 4, shareholders get what they want There has been a pretty long history of shareholder meetings going something like this though:  uh so your wages and benefits are too high and you could be paying ME dividends instead of these loving serfs. I demand you stop paying PT employees benefits.  Actually, the wages and benefits are the reason for our success and probably why you are a shareholder in the first place

The saran wrap rolls are the best. I had mine for three years packing lunch every day, portion freezing literally every meal I ate over that time, used it to shrink wrap a bunch of poo poo when I moved.. I got a little emotional when it died. Was thinking they would wrap my body in it but it looks like I'll go through a few more before then. Also I have a $300 watch. How is that for an in between for nothing and one that is several thousand dollars. Have I just become the worst of both worlds? $4000 bike though

Gas chat: Having a gas station increases non gas sales at the given warehouse by 10 percent. People gas up, go get an ice cream and walk out with a loving self massager or whatever. All gas sold in most markets needs detergents added to stop poo poo from building up in your engine and killing fuel economy/ the environment/ your car. There is a required amount set by the EPA or some other commie organization and Costco gas has 5x the lowest allowable level of said detergents. It's basically equivalent to SHELL VPOWER branded gasoline that's a lot more expensive.

Costco also has two giant chicken plants for the other item that will never change in price... The rotisserie chicken, which is better than anything in the food court. Also my Costco stocks spaghetti sauce in 3/4 packs of normal jars so sucks to be you guys.

You can get a better deal than the car buying program but if you're interest in an in demand vehicle that dealers won't mark down, it's a pro choice. I mean some might find it worth it to save the hassle anyway

I do Costco for two as well and we're not particularly big eaters. I don't understand what people have against portion wrapping meat? Like we only buy meat every six weeks or so and then we just plan meals 2 days ahead and can really eat poo poo on a whim, which is awesome. "I want steak tomorrow" *Puts steak in the fridge Got pork chops, sausage, chicken thighs, breast, breast skin on bone in, cod, and a rack of ribs in the freezer right now. I don't own a chest freezer either because I am a scum of the earth apartment renter. I need to get dogs more often. I'm literally in a Costco 2-3 times a week and I haven't had one in months. A shame.

As a rule I only take samples that are already in the little paper thingies. Leave your cart OUT OF THE WAY before approaching the table so you have a quick entrance / exit. You see a lot of people kind of crowding in oblivious fashion, all getting in each other's way.. or people camping out samples that aren't ready yet.. or people eating the samples in front of the table and then feeding their kid one, again in front of the table. These people are inconsiderate and annoying, but they are still people. I've been working for Costco for six years, only 1.5 of them in a warehouse, but the office is beside one so I'm there practically every day, and I JUST witnessed my first sample hoarder. This CREATURE was not "people". It parked its disability scooter in front of some poor soul doing sausage samples in such a way that no one else could approach the table, and then grabbed 4 samples at a time until it had consumed the entire tray. The creature then moved its lips and I'll never forget what it said..... "How long till the other flavour is ready?"...

The only acceptable application of processed cheese is for making home made breakfast sandwiches. Everything else is better with the real deal. FYI Mason jar lids (the kind where the top pops out) are the perfect egg moulds for this application. Spray them with Kirkland signature cooking oil, crack in your egg and cover with some water in the skillet to steam the top of the egg.  Normally my instructions would end with the lids but, you know, goons and cooking..

FYI a lot of warehouses open doors earlier than posted hours. The one I worked at during college would open about 10-15 min early. I work at the Canadian office now and the warehouse we are beside opens at 9:30 every weekday because upper management is alllwayyss doing walks / just shopping.

Harton posted:There is a max everything setting that makes the picture better? Wouldn't you wanna run it like that at home too so it looks as good as possible? It doesn't make the picture better.. it makes the contrast and brightness higher so it looks better in a room full of other TVs that are also peacocking. You'd never want your TV set that way at home.

The Polish is inferior to the dog anyway. I too spent a long time trying to convince myself that the Polish was good (and it sorta is) but it just leaves me wanting for a proper sausage. The dog is the pinnacle of it's hotdoggers and therefore wins Edit: might be because I grew up with a bunch of great uncles and poo poo that made proper sausage and lived in a town formerly called Berlin. Had so much quality sausage in my holes from a very young age. Math You fucked around with this message at 14:00 on Jan 4, 2018 |

Just lol if you've never had a sausage so flavourful and aromatic that your farts caused you to vacate each room you dropped a bomb in. Farts that seem more vapour than gas and settle into all of your clothing. Farts you carry with you for days after you last let one rip. A deep musk you can taste. I pity anyone who's never had that kind of sausage
