Just had a fun trip to a Canadian Costco. Felt the same but also different. Similar layout and items, but different brands for similar things. Then, the big twist at the end was realizing Canadian Costco takes Mastercard instead of Visa like US Costcos. Still got a dog and a "pop"!

bagmonkey posted:Went to Costco last night, bought what appears to be not-lovely wet cat food. I will report back as I test them on my cats. I'd be interested to hear about how this goes. We had a really picky cat and now we just have a slightly picky cat, but we are looking at kittens and I'd love to get them on better food right off the bat and not let them know there is garbage food out there.

One day I feel like buying a knife pack, a 2 pack of cutting boards, and a couple bags of onions and just go to town dicing onions for people in the costco food court.

The Coachella Valley Costcos don't have the dew on tap, either. They don't even have good lemonade or iced tea. It is always diet lemonade and raspberry ice tea.

We got a Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwarsher and absolutely love it. I can have one load running while still filling the other drawer. Since there are only 2 people in the house, we often only run one at a time but when we have guests we can run em both. I thought it was gonna be a problem at first because they are designed to take powder instead of gel or tablets but now that I've been using it I think it does a much better job.

LiterallyATomato posted:Hey! I ordered RX glasses at Costco and they're ready! Do I need my receipt to pick them up or can I just go in with my Costco Card and they'll find it that way? I've never needed either, but you'll have your costco card handy since you just walked in. For contacts they just hand em to you when you tell em your name, but for glasses they* usually want you to grab a number so they can have you put them on in front of them to make sure they fit and the rx is right and all that. They'll maybe ask for your card or an ID but usually they just ask your name. *my local optical department, the one you go to might be different

I haven't been disappointed by any of the costco desserts, they've always been ok to very good, imo. But I got the lemon meringue cheesecake recently for a small party and holy smokes, it is delicious. They nailed it. Don't buy it, because you will eat the whole thing. The party goers only ate about half of it and I've been working on it the last few days and have it down to a quarter. It is rich, creamy, tangy, decent bottom crust, and just wonderful. I am so fat.

thathonkey posted:at lowes the few employees that are at the store openly despise and avoid all forms of customer interaction (i mean ... fair). This doesn't match my experience at any of the lowes and HDs in my area. They are basically the same = soulless big box hardware stores with some friendly and some unfriendly folks at various levels of helpfulness. I actively dislike Lowe's newish account bullshit. I don't want to have to give you my phone number to log in to my account to get my discounts. Just let me flash my ID and have the cashier give it to me. HD still lets me do that. Costco rules.

Say hi, ask how their day is, and thank them for being helpful and they would probably let you return a $5 rotis chicken skeleton after you made stock. Being friendly is like a golden ticket that unlocks the secret perks at every store. And if you want a friend for life, fill out a comment card and mention how helpful that person was and how it made your day and it has you consider upgrading your membership (even if you are already an executive member)!

Fatrick posted:As a Canadian, I hate that we can't buy booze in Costco like you Americans can... I remember hitting the Costco on Maui and seeing giant bottles of Rum and Gin for next to nothing and being really sad that I can't buy that poo poo at home. Depends on where in the US, too. I can buy really cheap booze in the California Costcos but the moment I get into Oregon I can only buy wine and beer. And Washington state Costco is taxed to hell and back compared to the California locations.
