An important thing to note with stuff like this is to always check the price tag. If it has an asterisk it means the product won't be restocked.

If the price ends with 97 cents that's a sign it could be on the way out too.

When will Costco open up DC fast charging for EVs? It's not like I'd use them on a day-by-day basis but it would be nice to stop for a slice of pizza while on a road trip.

Buy an EV and you never need to get gas ever.

My Costo visa was compromised and I guess I'm not going into Costco until I get my new card. A fun note with that card is when they hot card the credit card, it also makes it stop working as a membership card.

Not even the Costco app could come in clutch in a situation like this?

I buy the ~$8 chicken salad for a family that's back in the deli area and split it into two lunches.

I'm gonna steal this good idea since there's a Costco less than 10 minutes from my work, thanks.

I got a loving gift card to a gas station today at work. Why did you even bother to participate if that's all the effort you're going to put into it?

You too? They’ve been handing out $100 gas cards to me every month for 9 months now. I drive an EV so I sell it to a coworker for $60.

I think the returns dept keeps track of the abusers so if you don't do it too often it's not so bad. But getting over $2k for something they'll throw away is pretty lovely.

That sucks about Yellowfin. I go deep sea fishing with my friends every year to catch some so my freezer's always full of it.

It's cute when New Jersey and Oregoons get proud of the fact they don't know how to operate a gas pump

I wonder if they're gonna have someone to plug in EVs at fast charging stations. This would be kind of cool if it's done charging, and they could move my car before I'm done eating or whatever.

It actually does help customers. My aunt was a receipt checker for Price Club (OG Costco in many places), and the cashiers hated how often she caught their mistakes.

So can I just show up to a Costco and shop, or is there this whole application process?

Gotta be a member, and it's $60 to sign up. There is a Groupon promo that gives you a $30 shop card, though.

But when I go at like 5:45 on a weekday right after work, or at like one on Sunday after church lets out, it's dead as hell. Is everybody else at my Costco overthinking this too?

Nope. Folks usually stock up on the weekend, so if you go in the evening on a weekday you’re mostly seeing customers getting only a couple things they forgot to get on the weekend.

I'm guessing American locations operate on lower margins, and a higher volume of customers. Not sure though!

Little late to pizza chat but I have an Ooni Karu. Everyone knows neapolitan pizzas are the poo poo, and that little thing pumps them out a minute at a time. I think Costco sells a gas-only Ooni.

edit: spelling

Also, I buy the pizza dough from Costco business center, it's made from New York water!

I sometimes go to Costco Business Center when I want to buy a box of my favorite flavor of snacks rather than an assorted one. I love Funyuns. Also, the 35lb bag of pinto beans aren’t always available at the regular Costco.
