Wow, this is completely different than what happens at my local. Everyone just gets in line and the line is usually quite long. Just today when I got gas the lines were about 4 deep in every lane. My local is one of those with only 2 pumps too. Sometimes, especially around lunch, you'll see the line stretching out into the main thoroughfare. So each lane is like, 6 deep, and then 1 longer line full of all the people waiting for spots to open up.

This is exactly how my church operates as well. The true Costco way

I realized I was successful in life when I made the decision to not ever wait in line for gas for 10c a gallon savings.

I don't think I've ever waited more than 4 minutes for gas at Costco, and that was a rare situation. I can usually pull right up to a pump if I time my trip for non-peak hours.

For a few weeks in July my Costco was almost 70 cents below all other competitors. It was nuts!

We started buying the Alpha Foods Crispy Chik'n Patties this spring. Tasty, store in the freezer forever, about the same price as real chicken patties, and contain stupidly high amounts of protein for their calories.

Seriously. 12-13g protein for a 170 cal patty. Regular chicken patties are like 9g protein per 200 cal patty.

I'm pretty sure I got the shepherd's pie this year and I was very unimpressed for it being $20 (here).

I literally had a shepard's pie in the oven last night when you posted this.

Based on the binned up leftovers, we're getting seven servings out of the thing for about $19. I had leftovers for lunch today and it tasted more flavorful than last night, but just in general it's a pretty bland recipe. Off the top of my head it would benefit greatly from Worcestershire sauce, additional pepper, and an acid like lemon or lime. Maybe some sour cream.

Had two members yelling and fighting in the line for food court yesterday. On three separate occasions someone had to come out and break it up before they finally left. I really don�t understand grown adults freaking out about waiting in line and skipping the line and the swearing and the yelling that ensues. It was very uncomfortable and I still can�t get over that I had to say �I don�t care who started it, it ends now� to people my age. I know the hot dogs are good but come on!!

In days? .10 to .25. Don't let cooked chicken just hang out at room temperature. Eat it after you bring it home from the Co or put it in the fridge.

I think car prices are plummeting, my boss saw some big truck he wanted drop like 30k

Used car prices are just starting to come down 1-2% points, but new car prices are still trending up. I've seen 2023 outlooks that the new car prices will eventually be down 5% by the end of the year, but we're not even to the top of the curve yet. Sticker prices went up, folks are buying more expensive cars, and fees+adjustments over MSRP are still elevated. Combine all that with increased interest rates and people are paying way more, on average, than a few years ago even accounting for inflation.

It's amazing how loving slow so many people are when getting gas. I'm routinely in and out before the person who was already filling up takes the nozzle out.

I once got stuck behind some lunatic who wiped every single thing they touched with individual wipes.

Open the car: wipe the inside handle first
Pull out your membership card: wipe it
Scan your card: wipe it
Open your gas door: wipe the gas cap
etc etc

Absolutely unhinged and outright heretical behavior at the font.

Spray em down with gas next time. That'll speed them up

Yep. The meat is light on seasoning but I pretty much expected that. Dumped in some garlic powder, cumin, oregano, rosemary, dill, thyme, salt, and pepper while it was in the skillet heating up and it tasted better.
