Went to the Costco and bought a bunch of golf polos + new shorts for cheap and followed up by eating a big ol dog with the classic pep and parm. That's my story, thanks!

You feed your kids 10lbs of hot dogs a week? I mean, sure Kirkland Brand Hot Dogs are wonderful.... but I think you may be unknowingly murdering your children. Check out the produce section maybe.

Yes, I did once, and my parents have taken several CostcoTravel vacations. You don't even have to be a member to buy one! I'm a JetBlue junkie, so I bought my own plane tickets separately, but the vacation packages they sell include some nice stuff, like free transfers from the destination airport to your hotel. Also, they only take a small deposit up front, and then don't charge your card until a few weeks before the trip.

ElGroucho posted:Weren't you the guy who had tears well up in his eyes because some one made fun of your condiment choices I am taking a cruise out of England in September thru Costco Travel. Called and lowered the price 3 times due to price matching before making the final payment a few weeks ago. Price matched to the NCL website price, but then Costco offers a roughly 10% cashcard on top to sweeten the deal.

Dr. Capco posted:I went to an all inclusive Cancun resort via Costco and everything went off without a hitch plus it was reasonably priced* Same. I went there (Omni resort) on a September holiday and spent less going there than it would have cost to rent a condo in Destin, and that's not counting the free food and drinks. When I booked my trip I called the Costco travel agency, and they upgraded my room for free from there so booking over the phone might do you some good.

As a rule I only take samples that are already in the little paper thingies. Leave your cart OUT OF THE WAY before approaching the table so you have a quick entrance / exit. You see a lot of people kind of crowding in oblivious fashion, all getting in each other's way.. or people camping out samples that aren't ready yet.. or people eating the samples in front of the table and then feeding their kid one, again in front of the table. These people are inconsiderate and annoying, but they are still people. I've been working for Costco for six years, only 1.5 of them in a warehouse, but the office is beside one so I'm there practically every day, and I JUST witnessed my first sample hoarder. This CREATURE was not "people". It parked its disability scooter in front of some poor soul doing sausage samples in such a way that no one else could approach the table, and then grabbed 4 samples at a time until it had consumed the entire tray. The creature then moved its lips and I'll never forget what it said..... "How long till the other flavour is ready?"...

I usually eat at the food court first so my frozen goods won't melt, and I won't have the appetite to try a sample then.

You eat a giant bomb of food before getting a cart, this will save you hundreds of dollars in impulse and hunger purchases.

Most people are pretty decent about samples, but there is always 'that' person who is being an rear end and ruining it for everyone else.

As others have noted, the smart thing to do is eat your $1.50 hot dog (with FREE refill!) before doing your shopping. Not only will it fill you up so you don't buy too much food, you won't be one of those scumbags who takes their cart into the Costco food court line. You also won't have to worry about any cold or frozen food your purchased getting too warm while you jam a hot dog down your gullet.

ArbitraryC posted:They're still a thing but depending on where the samples are located they might as well not be. So like if you wanna try out their new pita chips or healthier snack bars then sure you got options but if they're in the frozen section cookin up some fried and processed stuff you'd be too ashamed to get a full box of goodluck cause there will inevitably be fat families blocking the whole aisle while they camp out waiting for the next batch so they can immediately take the entire tray for themselves. This is horrifyingly true, and it's arguably the shittiest difference between "old Costco that was for business people" and "new Costco for loving everyone". Samples used to be a cordial affair unless there was something insanely good like crab cakes or something. Now you literally have whole families just sitting there waiting for the next round of samples right in the middle of the aisle with no shame whatsoever, making it impossible to move anywhere near the frozen section and the cold section. This year I've just started moving people's carts out of the way who are waiting for samples, both because their disregard for basic human decency disgusts me and because you literally cannot get past them if you don't. The good news is that these people are often living in such a haze of stupidity that they don't notice you're messing with their cart, or by the time their sluggish brains process what's happening you're long gone. In any case I no longer take samples out of principle. The only thing shittier than the sample-guzzling morons are the salespeople they've littered the floor with to sell you phones, cable service, house renovation, etc etc etc. I'm already spending $200 on groceries and paid for a membership, gently caress off. Costco has really changed a ton. It reached its peak about 15 years ago. It's still the best store ever but most changes made in the last 10 years have been negative for the consumer experience.

The problem I had with trying to use the Costco vacation packages is that it only lets you price a couple of destinations online, for anything else you need to call them. I'm far too lazy to call and speak to someone, I'd rather do my trip planning online.

Does anyone else think Costco should modify the carts to have a dog/pizza holder so you can chew while you cruise?

Talk to the people at Costco, hell, get a line to the manager and let them know you're unhappy with the sample blocking nonsense. They'll probably actually listen and try to fix it, because they're paid well enough to actually want to do their job. One of the great things about the Costco is that they care what their customers think.

Also, I know it's supposed to be a better idea to eat before you do any grocery shopping, but if I don't then I won't want to buy anything. It's weird.
