This is an exaggeration because when I am grocery shopping at Walmart I wear a monocle and top-hat while twirling a cane, with class, sometimes while whistling a jaunty tune. So. Not all the shoppers.
Hm. Interesting. By chance do you have le extremely epic rage comic face while you do this?

Costco is the poo poo. I spend around 40K/year there for work related poo poo. I can get a lot of things from them cheaper than my distributor. That said, 9am on a Tuesday is the time to go.

Could always be worse. There's a lovely Costco clone in Ohio called BJ's (heh*) that tries to trick you into buying a membership when everything there costs more than Wal-Mart, cheaper than Target at best. Still almost worth it not to bump elbows with Wal-Mart shoppers.

It must be nice man, just bumbling through life with objectively wrong opinions, poor as poo poo but comfortable in your stupidity, just sitting around waiting for a prole's death. There's a simplistic appeal to that somehow.

We have BJs where I live and my autisic coworker once blurted out "I like BJs" out of the blue with no context and I was supposed to just assume he went shopping with his wife. What a retard.

what hipster rice or weird pasta? i don't recall them having any. they do have a quinoa pasta that's really loving good and a lot healthier though.

e: one thing that sucks about them is they'll introduce a new product or something and you'll fall in love, the next month it's gone forever :(a

I miss aronia berry juice they used to have in the late 90s/early 00s.


They also used to have a big box of dolmas that was honestly some of the best dolmas ive ever had. gently caress I wish they'd bring that back. Then there was a Ticker Pepper cheese that was really good that was only there for a couple months.

I dunno but it's a gross grain that's served cold. Weird pasta is when food scientists try to do new things with pasta.
