If you've never looked, check out Costco Next in the app. It's deals at specific stores that you can only get to through Costco.
The klymit deals are decent, and it's good to look through the store list in case there's something you wanted to get anyway, like.a gazebo.

My Costco has removed half of their self-checkout machines, and of the four remaining last night, they only had two active, and had checkers to drive.

I do not approve. Have them go run normal check stands, there were some that were closed!
Weird. Mine has gone from 6 to 12, so there's never a wait for self-check.
They stopped doing the "show a human your card" thing in only 3 weeks last year. I wonder how many complaints they got about that policy?

Seems like many goods (and even categories ie: bread) don't have a 'usual' spot and will be moved around regularly. Is there a plan/design behind those reorgs, or is just 'whelp, no more room for bread here, guess we'll swap this entire aisle with the next one'.
Who makes those decisions?

A blog I read (in 2024!) had a story about a Costco trip today:

Waiterrant is still going? I was thinking about that blog just this weekend. I remembered him being kinda insufferable, and it looks like I was right.
He's always been that way, it's part of the appeal.

He was very quiet for years, but his father dying last month has caused him to ramp up the posting.

His Costco observations are pretty accurate; the sample carts can turn into the scene of a fresh kill on the Serengeti, especially for sweets like chocolate.

Just brought home my first whole pizzas. They are too big for my oven unless I smash the boxes a bit.
I made it work, but man, keeping them warm for a few hours did a number on the crust.

Eat when fresh!
