i dont know anything about take and bake stuff, if we do that at my warehouse its not done in food court. the chicken bakes you get from the food court come frozen, they're brushed with Caesar dressing and then topped with parmesan before getting popped in the oven. they used to be made in house but that was pre pandemic and before my time there. we do so many pizzas, i'm amazed there was time to make the bakes and all the other things they used to have on the menu.

Seems like Costco has really been cutting costs in the food court. Frozen bakes, fewer items on the menu overall, driving traffic to the order kiosks as well as fewer staff behind the counter (at least at my location).

IMO it's driven down the value of the food court.

They still take phone orders at mine. You're directed to the kiosk to pay. A prompt appears asking if you've already phoned ahead.

Anyone ever buy a sectional couch from Costco? My wife want's to get one, but I want to make sure they're comfy and hold up more than a couple of years.

They're...OK. The value is in the return policy. Our has held up except for the back cushions which have gotten pretty droopy. They're the kind that are attached directly to the sofa like you see with a lot of midrange sectionals nowadays.

"Good" couches are tough to find. The cheap Costco stuff is fine, but apparently they don't hold up for too long. Kids and pets can accelerate the decline. "High end" couches still feel cheap as all hell, but they have electric recliners, USB ports and poo poo I don't want. We spent too much money on a Costco LoveSac Sectional a couple years ago. It's built like a tank. I recently had to spend ~10 days sleeping on it due to a COVID thing and it wasn't just a good night sleep for a couch, it was a good night sleep, period.

We've been in the market for a new dining table for years and haven't found anything. A friend needed a conference table for her tiny startup and picked up a 100-year-old Misson-style dining room table from Habitat for Humanity ReStore for $7; the legs had separated from the tabletop, which she fixed with 3 nails. It needs some cosmetic work, but not much. I may have popped a blood vessel.

I really think quality in the industry as a whole sucks. I've wondered if it's a consequence of the domestic furniture industry dying off.

Has anyone bought an appliance recently from Church? Between the extra year warranty and free installation/haul away, Church is about 10% cheaper than my next option, but I've been hearing that the delivery service has been really bad as of late.

It really varies depending on location. I had really good service in one town and terrible in another.

WTF happened to the good whipped cream.

Now it's awful kirkland brand crap.

Slowly but surely all the good stuff is phased out and replaced with inferior Kirkland brands. Happened with chocolate chips, too.

I haven't noticed a difference in taste between this and the old Land O Lakes cream (which was some third party licensing the Land O Lakes name). It's still better than the "whipped topping" that my local grocery sells.

That being said, you used to get three cans but now only two.

Yes you can so long as it isn't out of date. That varies from state to state (mine is one year).

Good selection of frames and the prices are reasonable. They accept a few insurances including mine :smugdog:

I don't understand the lines for Costco gas. I've only payed attention in Tennessee and los Angeles but it seems the gas is maybe a couple cents cheaper than a normal gas station. Definitely doesn't seem worth dealing with the headache.

Mine is consistently 10 to 12 cents cheaper. If my Co was a little bit closer (we only have one), I'd never buy gas anywhere else.

Translation: a dude in Guanajuato, Mexico opened his own store to sell Costco products to the masses. All he needs is some kind of station to make your own hot-dogs and it'll be just like the real thing.

I'm finally part of the church. Got the membership last week.

About 8 months ago, when my wife and I were getting some final baby stuff for our about to be born daughter, we went to Costco with my mom because she wanted to gift us a box of the Kirkland baby wipes with her membership. Now in the present, my wife swears by them and gave me the stink eye every time the box ran out and we had to use other brands, which she deems as "inferior, too dry or too rough."

And these wipes do seem softer than any others. Wouldn't surprise me they're made with the finest egyptian cotton and give our daughter a +5 versus diaper rash.

Having three baby Pershings was what solidified my member status. Always better quality diapers and wipes.
