Moissanite, HPHT diamonds, etc. have been around years and the diamond market has still convinced huge swaths of women they need the "real thing."

diamonds are dumb. oh wow the heat and pressure of the earths core made a shiny rock? pfft the gold in that ring was forged in a super nova billions of years ago, thats 100x more interesting than the stupid diamond.

Do you know the number of the Costco Business Center in Lynnwood? I used to go there with my dad when I was a kid in the late 80's I think.

Hmm not sure on Lynwood. The Aurora Business Center nearby is #106 though. Lynnwood does have one of the last print and copy centers though. I only know that because my team has to support the janky old physical server there.

what does Costco do with used poo poo? I've never seen any on display. I'd totally be down to buy some used once recreational equipment for cheap.

Bought a kitchen sink/faucet combo, found out the sprayer arm button was broken after everything was installed. We couldn't easily uninstall the whole thing to take it back so I took the broken nozzle back. The manager opened a brand new one, took out the nozzle and sent me in my way.

They have a drat fine return policy when you need it. I sure hope the completely fine sink isn't sitting in a landfill, just cause of a nozzle swap.

I returned a vacuum that we used twice because it was a lovely vacuum, they took it back and marveled that I fit everything back in the box, full refund of course.

My wife sometimes buys clothes in two different sizes for me when work keeps me from worshipping along side her. We then return the size that doesn't fit. Their jeans make good work pants since I tend to ruin jeans at work via acid or base.

Also, praise be! They brought back the frozen cooked chicken patties. Those are great for work lunch when I don't feel like cooking beforehand.

I decided I couldn't leave France without trying the food court croissant, so here it is in all it's glory. They run it through the pizza oven to bake the cheese on top.




Pretty tasty, but about 1/2 the food of the chicken strips + fries, while being the same price. And even at 2 euros the dog is still a better value.

You can also see the qr code they use on the cups. I scanned it with a barcode reader and it looked like some sort of base64 encoded binary. Probably possible to reverse engineer and print your own, but also way too goddamn much effort required when you can just buy another soda for $0.40 if you're that thirsty.

Bought some shredded mexican cheese once that had a big mold ball right in the middle of the bag, the day I opened it, months before the expiration date.

It happens.

But for like $12, gotta do a return.

Ive had to do two returns in the ~10 years ive had it as an adult.

One was ill fitting baby clothes. The other is in process: bought an ASUS ROG laptop and the right speaker is just busted as poo poo. Anything over 45% volume blows out the channel when the low end kicks in.

Took me longer than the 90 days so Costco Concierge is helping coordinate with ASUS for an RMA/repair.
Sucks i cant just exchange for a working model, but the sins of others affect us all.

I was 100% clear with them that it had been in an accident and asked whether it would be acceptable for a return. Cut the straps and everything.

They were very friendly and helpful, and happily returned it.

What this sausage party needs is a big dollop of ketchup! Too bad I didn't make any. :(

I've returned clothes plenty of times because there are obviously no changing rooms. Occasionally there's bad/moldy/etc food particularly organic stuff. I returned wrong-size windshield wipers a few times.



Whew I feel better, that's like confession. PBUC.

Yeah people look at you funny when you start trying on clothes on the floor. :/
I have returned Kielbasa with a wierd brown chunk, a lawnmower that blew an oil gasket after like 3 uses, numerous clothes, some really funky olives, and a laptop that I never opened. Prob some other little stuff also. Its is perfectly ok to return defective items within a certain time range. You are a full on douchebag if you abuse it though.

Agreed, there is a big difference between returning a defective or unwanted product and returning a loving Christmas tree.

We use the return policy as a safe way of trying new products/brands which is probably half the point of it. One time we decided to give a new brand of long-life milk a try but it tasted like absolute butts (even more than other brands) so we returned it.

Also we bought the wrong kind of laundry powder once but thankfully Costco forgives us our mistakes!

once you're married and have children you can do any fashion faux pas you want. sandals with socks? sure, go ahead.

I pull my cargo shorts up way high over my big belly, strap on a fanny pack and waddle around with crocs and socks. I've already procreated-- I can do whatever the gently caress I want now.
