I think the most important reason for this is to make sure that members have their cards on them when they enter the store.


If they didn't check, people would go pick out a poo poo ton of stuff, get to the register, and get denied since they forgot their card or "forgot" their card.

This is probably the actual reason. It saves lots of time (money) from idiots who didn't bring their card but still try to check out

I love Costco like family, so I'm not trying to disparage them here, but the food court pizza is not good pizza. They don't even use fresh dough per se, it's more like a premade wafer of bread that they put toppings on.

The proposition of Costco pizza is clear:

1) Like all cheap pizza, it's good when hot, and overall it's great value for casual instances like game night or whatever
2) You get 5,000 calories for $10

So basically, it's great for its specific purpose. Where you lose me is your insistence that it's objectively good pizza, because it's obviously not.

That's def not how they're making the za at my Costco so I'm willing to concede that it's made better at some locations. We literally have premade crust here that they put straight onto the sauce machine.

It's still not great pizza. We have a wood fired pizza oven in the backyard, I know pizza my dudes

The overall point stands that if you're considering Costco pizza "far better" than most pizza, you aren't eating good pizza

Not at my location. Maybe you have one of the mystical "real pizza" costcos that exist in myth and legend.

Do Costcos still have photo departments? My local one got rid of it and now it's just an online order bullshit like Shutterfly so it's hot loving garbage. I figured they all got rid of the instore photo departments. Another reason I rock a dual membership to Sam's

Yes they do and it's of course dirt cheap.

Got my mind on doritos and doritos on my mind.
Made the pilgrimage today and got that king size Sherpa blanket, protein bars, Brie, honey crisp apples, 3 pairs of those touch sensitive gloves, and a bunch of other stuff.

I saw the Sherpa blanket on my previous trip and decided to hold off, but this thread had great reviews on it so I decided to get it this time.

PBUC. :worship:

edit: My cat loves the Sherpa blanket the most - been kneading it for 10 minutes straight.

Friends.

I've complained before about Costco in the UK having stupid membership requirements. I'm making a trip to the US in January and I've discovered there is a Costco Business Centre near where I am staying.

A quick read of the terms and conditions for Gold Star membership doesn't say anything about needing to be a US resident to sign up, and cards are valid worldwide (PBUC).

quote:

Members are required to present valid U.S., PR, or CN state, provincial or federal government-issued photo ID, or any valid passport before signing up for membership.

Do you think "any valid passport" means they'll accept a UK one? I hope I've found a loophole to enter the temple. :pray:

I kind of agree. If you're talking in terms of "cheap caloric bomb pizzas" in the vein of Little Caesars, Pizza Huts, Mountain Mikes, etc, it's top notch. But it's generally not "good" pizza and kind of has a weird taste, plus some variability on if its been sitting under heat lamp or fresh and crispy out, and probably some local preparation. Sometimes I'll go "hmm a slice sounds good" and take a look and its just some sad mess thats been melting under a lamp for the past hour and go "nah, i'll take a hot dog".

In general, "i'll take a hot dog" is the best since the hot dog is cheap and owns bones. I think there's very few situations you should ever take anything over the hot dog.

Hang in there friend, only a few more hours until the 23rd. I assume their site will show upcoming deals then.

I'm hoping the 'Co will have some deals on kitchenware and bath sets myself.

If you need to spice up the Costco pizza, grab two slices, put them face together, trim them into a waffle maker / waffle press, and enjoy!

It's cider season and Costco carries delicious local Beak & Skiff Cider for 3 dollars a gallon. I got two. Also a hot dog and drink (ft. refill) for one dollar and fifty cents.
