I bought a $1k sectional from Costco and it was rear end because it pilled up so loving bad that we had to take a sweater razor to it every month

We just bought some LaZBoy stuff and it cost a lot, took months to show up, and was made poorly. One of the recliner legs fell off and dumped my pregnant wife onto the floor.

gently caress furniture, but also we got so drat sick of getting unmatched and worn thrift store/hand me down stuff.

The secret, I learned, is to get you a bottle of wood glue and just put on a dab here and there as you go along. This does nothing for the quality of the materials, but it does make it almost indestructible, and let's be honest: You are, at most, removing the shelves if you're retaining the Ikea furniture into your next residence.

The modern stuff isn’t that bad. I’ve had movers handle my IKEA junk a few times and the most common incident is them punching a hole in the bookshelf backing.

They don’t price match afaik.

I don’t have a powered one because I don’t have a plug near the toilet and I haven’t really felt the need for it. Even the basic $40 one from Amazon really is life changing.

Yeah I have a fancy $250 Brondell powered one on the master and $40 cheap ones on the others and I’m totally good with the latter

Heated water is either overrated or my rear end is so numb it can’t feel anymore

I think what happened was people that purchased their putters at retail, gently caress you prices, learned that if they only paid proper tithing to the church, they could have saved like 25%. How dare the perceived value of their elite golf club decline by being sold at a "discount" club. So they cried, complained and Bettinardi tried to retain some level of their customer loyalty by going after Costco. Turns out, if you gently caress around with Costco, you will indeed find out.

If you haven't checked what the clubs usually sell for, they are normally $450 and Costco was selling them for nearly $100 less.

I remember finding some really expensive cologne at Costco online once and went full in on them. Bottles that normally retailed for $250 were selling for $160, I believe.

Oh I thought they were a luxury item being sold at a massive discount and ruining ~the image~. What a bunch of whiners

I once had an rear end in a top hat receipt checker chase me down and yell at me for getting my hotdog before the shopping trip without showing them my card. They don't even ask to see cards at that entrance (because that's how you get to the place where you... get a card) so it was pretty confusing.

Must be a training issue

I'm going to support you since nobody else is. Spindrift is awful, their grapefruit seltzer tastes like bile. Just because something is made with a tiny bit of juice doesn't mean it tastes better. Polar is good, LaCroix can be good if you stick with their citrus flavors, and their citrus flavors (haven't checked the others) are naturally sourced (e.g. grapefruit extract).

I’ve had some good spindrift packs but the last one I got with lemon and lime tasted weirdly… buttery

same tossed my waterpik and went back to regular flossing since i used mine at full blast and that just leads to spraying water all over my bathroom

I use my Costco waterpik full blast and the water is contained within my mouth and sink. I suggest not trying to use it as a tiny bidet

I enjoy kombucha and other kinds of fermented foods but the touted health benefits of fermented foods seem totally made up. The narrative about how the 'good' bacteria in the foods fights the 'bad' bacteria in your digestive system sounds like a children's bedtime story.

Yes of course it's all made up.

The person at the return desk has your history right there, so no need to do anything just bring in the pile of scraps in a tote bag and hand it over. I did this with an old Netgear router when they (Netgear) pushed out an update that bricked my model, it was no problem.

Also I'm officially the proud owner of the Costco credit card. I'm torn, though, because my current card is cash back automatically on each statement, and the Costco card is apparently a once a year physical check? The current card is one percent, though, so obviously the Costco one will be double or triple the amount.

I’ve had Costco returns people get lovely with me when I asked them to look up the receipt. They made up some policy about needing to have it after a certain date or something.

That's the spirit, yeah this thing is in mint condition and Costco is actually selling it for $3000 right now instead of $2000 due to inflation. They should be thrilled to have it back!

Different topic, get a load of this Costco salad kit I just opened. $8.49 and half its weight is dirty stems:



I've had pizza places make less hosed up salads than this, jeez.
