For those asking, that's the Costco in Pentagon City, VA. It also has the $99 serrano in a different part of the store. That Costco has also been known to sell whole lamb.

Ham can be butt or leg meat, the name comes from the same place as hamstring

Sometimes butt ham is more money than leg ham or maybe the other way around I forget, but it's like a ten cent difference or something

I'll have to check the Kenosha one next time I go. I mean, during the Winter the sun goes down at like 4pm so it doesn't matter much.

99% positive they don't have skylights though.

It can literally be the butt meat, but if labelled as "butt", that means shoulder.

Here in Michigan the Costco near me has skylights. The lights in the building auto-dim when it's detecting enough natural light coming through. I'm pretty sure the building has been there for a decade+, and it's dealt with the tons of snow just fine.

thanks to the weirdos who upload photos of the Kenosha Costco to google maps, we can see that yes, it does have skylights: https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=e...QoiowCnoECAYQBg

I didn't mean to open up these wounds, i didn't know there were so many members being so deprived of natural light in their journey through the Costco. All the Costcos around here have skylights, and i see now i have taken them for granted.

My Costco has skylights but they're getting rid of them because half of them leak whenever it rains. They replaced all the lights with LED ones though so it won't be too dim in there. This Costco is currently going through a remodel/expansion and that's one of many reasons why they should have just torn down the building and built a new one.

:hampants::hampants::hampants:
My Costco does not have skylights because they actually bought another warehouse facility and renovated it instead of building to spec. The benefit of this arrangement is that it has covered loving parking, which is amazing unloading your haul of treasures in the winter or rain.

This is my Costco, there are many like it but this one is mine.

Can someone just clarify for me the different benefits of the Costco card versus executive membership?

One earns points and the other nets you a bonus on your membership anniversary, right?

Thinking about switching over our main card to the Costco branded one. Isn’t it also used as a membership card too?

Costco visa and executive go hand in hand

It does serve as a membership card too, I'm not actually sure where my membership card is

We have both, and have farmed thousands of dollars of rewards out of it:

1) The executive membership gives you 2% back on all purchases at Costco and Costco.com. You break even on the additional $55 you spend when you spend greater than $2750 a year, and you pay the entire membership fee when you spend more than $5500 a year.

2) The Costco card (which is a membership card in as much as it has your picture on it and can be used instead of a separate membership card) gets you 1% on all transactions everywhere, 2% on all purchases at Costco and Costco.com (which is in addition to the executive membership reward - totaling $0.04 for every dollar spent at Costco), 3% on all travel and restaurant purchases and 4% on all gasoline purchases including at Costco.

It makes a lot of sense if, like our family, you spend most of your household budget the way Costco wants you to.

Arnold was an alleged 6'2" during his bodybuilding days, he claims a current 6'1", but most accounts put him at 5'10". Brian Shaw is listed at 6'8", and that's probably legitimate when seen standing next to 6'9" Hafthor Bjornsson.






Here he is with Wilt 7'1", who also is noticeably taller than the alleged 7'4" Andre.
