net work error posted:Costco sells Instacrates that are pretty good. You can fit a lot in one and then just fold it up when you're not using it. Pretty neat. They bite, be careful. We went yesterday, and I had to check and see.  Plenty of Jongga (the one with two “g”s) in stock!

PokeJoe posted:that stupid crate pinched me just picking it up from the display, i cant imagine owning one. are they really worth it I’m not a huge fan, myself. They are surprisingly easy to pinch yourself on for a consumer product. But for me, what bothers me more about them is that you can’t really manipulate them by one handle (like if you wanted to carry a couple around while empty, for example). They really want to collapse. My wife seems to like them though, so

Hutla posted:Yes, they are far and away the least gristle-y frozen chicken bits I’ve ever had. They cook up really well in an air fryer and are in fact lightly breaded instead of 80% breading/20% chicken like most popcorn chicken. This. They remind me of Chik-fil-a nuggets, but with fewer associated moral quandaries.

Zero VGS posted:When I signed up the other day they were all pushing Executive SUPER hard, like they passed me between 3 different employees all doing these extended, energetic spiels and elevator pitches. I haven't seen salesmanship that aggressive since Gamestop pushing Game Informer Magazine. I was already Executive, but had a non-Executive card. After the third time of having someone look like I had kicked their puppy when I told them I already had it, I just went over to CS and got a new card printed up.

I don’t think you can even do a non-kiosk order at my Costco anymore. Which is fine with me, as long as the drat people waiting for whole pizzas get out of the way.

Zero VGS posted:I foolishly tried to go to Costco yesterday, grabbed a couple things, saw the self-checkout line was about 60 people long, did a 360 and moonwalked outta there leaving the goods behind. Strangely, I was expecting my Costco to be miserable yesterday, and it was actually fairly quiet. I basically just walked up to self-checkout, and I only had to wait behind one person in the receipt check line.

I have installed three different TV mounts and while I am extraordinarily non-handy and each probably took four times longer than it should have, I still managed to do a better job than this installer. I have faith that Costco (PBUC) will make it right without too much effort, but don’t let them get away with it otherwise.

Encountered two upset Costco employees yesterday. The first one was someone apparently on lunch, who yelled at queueing food court customers “There are two lines, not one giant line.” One guy listened to him, stepping out and forming a new line, and the employee got in line behind him. The single food court employee at the counter proceeded to only help the “giant line”, leaving the yelling employee to fume and the customer to quip “Guess I got in the wrong line.” The other was a woman leaving one of the offices, on the verge of tears, telling whoever was inside that said person already had whatever they wanted, not her. Apparently per Nextdoor, it was slammed on January 2nd, so maybe emotions are running high.

Ineffiable posted:Shutter fly frequently gives out coupons, maybe it's possible to combine them with your membership discount. My wife had the hookup from a PTA friend who worked as a software engineer at Shutterfly a couple years ago, and even then it was expensive. Apparently our Christmas cards this year were from some other service though and when I asked how much, she said “You don’t want to know,” so maybe it’s a universally terrible racket.

Zachack posted:We ran out of Kerrygold so we went to our Costco and they didn't have any. Supposedly there's a grass-fed Kirkland butter that's very similar but it wasn't where the Kerrygold was (with the other butters). Does Costco put fancy butter somewhere else now? Are you in California? Apparently the packaging of Kerrygold butter ran afoul of a new hazardous chemical law. Here’s an article about it. It’s supposedly going to take a bit to get back up to speed. Apparently something similar is happening on New York as well.

CaptainSarcastic posted:Oh, right, most of you live in uncivilized places where you have to pump your own gas. In Oregon you pull up to the pumps and an attendant does the actual gas pumping part for you. Reduces the kind of dipshittery described above quite a lot. This obviously does not apply to Costco (praise be unto Costco), but in practice this means that the one elderly attendant that is operating all sixteen pumps takes a half-hour to pump your gas. Here’s looking at you, Teal Boulevard Safeway Fuel Station in Beaverton, Oregon.

Crusty Nutsack posted:… I absolutely hate that all the warehouse clubs act like all members may be stealing The apartments where I used to live had gated entry. But realistically, you could reach over the pedestrian gate to open it, and the vehicle gates took so long to open and close, and were broken so often, that you could usually drive in without an opener. They easily inconvenienced paying residents more than criminals. But they were there because they suggested value and exclusivity worth paying extra for. Costco card and receipt checkers are part of the same sort of kayfabe, IMO. And ultimately I spend less time waiting for someone to draw a line on my receipt than I did for ¼ POUND PLUS ALL BEEF HOT DOG AND 20 oz. SODA (With Refill), so it doesn’t bother me too much.

I think the citrus notes generally shine through more with Starry, while Sierra Mist was straight “hide the miserable taste of carbonated water with HFCS” I mean, I’m sure Starry is that too, but it’s better, IMO!

Is it just HFCS that renders soda drinkable?

LGD posted:we upgraded from our early-pandemic chest freezer to an upright this year, and while I felt kind of bad for donating something that was perfectly functional, and all bells and whistles aside, it has been totally worth it because of the massive difference in utility between a freezer where you can quickly see and access everything vs. one where you need to dig I mean, you’re donating it so it will be put to good use again, it’s not like you’re dumping the thing in a creek in the woods.

Soul Dentist posted:It's just like, stacked and still partially in the original packaging. It's like a grocery store selling a "sandwich kit" with like four slices of white bread in a pile, a half pound unsliced block each of American cheese and bologna, and mayo/mustard packets You know people will buy that, right? Case in point, look at what those jerks tricked me into buying:  “Hey, this’ll be easy, my kid can just toss it in the air fryer or whatever.”  That print in the bottom left would go on to crush my dreams. No, it’s literally just some of the ingredients in a box - a sack of apparently pre-cooked chicken, a bag of bread crumbs, and a sauce packet. Caveat emptor etc., etc., it was one of the only times Costco has betrayed me.

Lowe’s tries too hard. “Oh look, our store is well lit.” “Oh look, our shelves are well stocked.” “Oh look, we lock up expensive items in modular manufactured cages.” “Oh look, our staff still have hopes and dreams that you haven’t yet crushed.” Meanwhile, over at Home Depot, the store is lit exclusively by the display models in the lighting department, the shelves look like looters have hit them, expensive items are locked away behind chicken wire and 2x4s zip-tied to the shelving, and the staff are so thankful when you treat them like human beings that they’ll give you their discretionary discount. ACE is great but dances dangerously close to being the Whole Foods of hardware stores.

It was the same thing, the handle on one had died and the other sounded like a cement mixer when you turned it on because it rattled so much. Is it…not supposed to sound like an old-timey cartoon pump? That’s what the one I bought from Costco sounds like, though I haven’t tried the cordless one of the pair.
