Yeah $270 is a no brainer if you are in the market for that size. Do it!

I have that TCL, bought it December of last year for $370. It is the best TV I've ever owned. It looks great. It's got really impressive input lag specs so it's super great for gaming. The built in Roku is really smooth too, most smart TV UI interfaces I've used suck balls but I like that they're using Roku instead of their own thing. The HDR isn't great but at this price I won't complain. Still, paired with my PS4 Pro and everything looks amazing. Currently plowing RDR2 on it (yes I know RDR2 HDR blows it's not this TV's fault). I did do what others in this thread are suggesting though and paired it with a sound bar. I got a Yamaha one that can control via HDMI, so it just turns on when my TV does and I can control the volume using the TV's remote. At $270 that TV is a god damned steal. 3 years ago I didn't know what TCL is and now they are probably my favorite TV manufacturer.

Squashy Nipples posted:Updates at the Avon MA Costco foodcourt: Onion hopper GONE, Brisket Sandwich GONE, awesome vegan salad, GONE. The salad is seasonal for some reason and ought to be back after chili weather dies. The brisket being gone might mean you're getting the cheeseburger which is a pretty alright replacement. RIP your hopper unless your local crew just lost/broke theirs. Ask for onion cups.

The TCL 55S403 is the 2017 model, the 2018 model that replaced it is 55S423. Your local warehouse may have either on the floor, depending on if they sold out of last year's stock or not. The 50" model will begin with 50, etc for the other sizes.

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:Here's a hot take, bitching because a Scotch is blended doesn't make you more sophisticated. This obsession with single malt is just a stupid whisky snob thing from when you could get a really good or a really bad bottle depending on the malt you chose. Master distillers are able to create rich tapestries of interesting flavors in blended scotches more readily than a single origin whisky could on its own (cognac in particular is another spirit where the blend gets you the depth of flavor). i mean sure but it remains a fact that johnny walker is to scotch as patron is to tequila: not very good, primarily used to impress unsophisticated drinkers who care more about price and brand recognition than taste

Went to costco today and they had lagavulin scotch for 50$, but you had to buy 3, and I'm not gonna drink 3 bottles of it sadly. Also got what appeared to be some nice new 100 dollar bed sheets that they had a promotion thing on, but when I got home I noticed they were made from polyester, so I'm gonna take them back  gently caress is up with that? Boursin cheese was on sale though, that's good stuff. And they had some tray of 4 kinds of dessert mousses made in italy; pistachio, chcolate, raspberry and tiramisu.

The Edward Marc Choclatier toffee almonds are 100% legit and on sale this month. They're like M&Ms for adults. Also, pick up an empty box on your way in, and your checkout lady (fellow) will thank you. It's great.

That said, I don't steal from costco because I want to keep my membership and they know who I am and where I live. Anywhere else, though, that's called shrink.

Even if there's a loss prevention aspect to it, everyone's nice and it's generally not a bother. The people who attend to their carts like a ragtag band of criminals are trying to execute a grocery heist are far worse, IMO. Get that poo poo out of the food court line.

Article about what the receipt checkers are actually doing (like all 'co employees, they're on our side). https://thetakeout.com/why-costco-employees-check-receipts-exit-1830254570 quote:a former staffer explains it in more detail, stating that in their 12 years of working there, the receipt-checkers spotted theft zero times, but caught cashier errors several times per day.

Chinatown posted:Good article about the people who check your receipt. quote:“Sometimes they’ll try to hide some DVDs under the big toilet paper package, as the cashier is supposed to clear the cart at the register, this strategy of theft fails before getting to the door.” I worked at BJ's on and off for a few years during college for beer money and, lol this is so hilariously common and it's always hilarious when you catch someone doing it. I used to just scan the DVD or whatever and play dumb when they told me to take it off "Oh, changed your mind? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Don't be deceived though, "cashier error" is just a polite way of saying it's their job to get cashiers into trouble for making mistakes, usually forgetting to scan items on the bottom of the cart. When you're scanning $20k worth of merchandise for ~150 customers throughout an 8 hour day, mistakes are going to slip through from time to time. Where I worked, nobody ever made friends with the door checkers. A fun little BJ's thing is, every time you miss an item, you immediately got get a write up. On paper, 3 write ups and you're fired. However, it wasn't unusual for even the best cashiers to get 8-10 write ups a month and in general management didn't care unless it was over a $100 gently caress up in a single transaction. Shortly after I quit, my store got a new General Manager with a stick up his rear end, and the first thing he did was enforce the rules and fire every single cashier with 3 or more write ups. Out of 30 cashiers, he fired 28 of them. He didn't actually speak with the front line manager about, so the next morning the store opens and she finds that there's literally no staff to run the building. She had to call them all back in a panic and beg them to come back.

Im Ready for DEATH posted:my friend bought one of the sound bars that they also sell in that area. you gotta drop another 100 dollars-ish but the sound difference is night and day. I bought this Vizio soundbar a couple months ago, and love it. Definitely wouldn't consider myself an audiophile, but had never used anything but built-in TV speakers before, and the difference is staggering. Also, when hooking it up to my LG TV, I was able to use my TV remote to adjust the volume from the sound bar automatically, no extra setup. Maybe that's standard, but it surprised me. I was prepared to have to keep track of the small remote that came with the sound bar.
