Costco is always our first stop in Hawaii. Stay in a place with a kitchen and load up on poke and booze to stock it.

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
I've noticed a lot of bad hombres coming to the Costco since the Sam's Club here shut down. They're terrible characters and I fear they're going to degrade the quality of my Costco, it's bad enough already with the sample eaters. Is there a way we can build some sort of a anti-Sam's Club wall and not let people in if they ever belonged to Sam's Club? Or at least force them to go to BJ's?

Just pouch a dog and then snack on it at your leisure while waiting for the primo samples.

Also have there ever been a substance discovered that is hotter than the costco chicken strips fresh from the counter? My head almost caught fire once when I bit into one.

In Hawaii they have this substance called Lava, I hear it may be hotter and also that they make floors out of it.

Also your food court has Chicken Strips????

Chicken Strips? The only chicken mine has are the cold pieces in the chicken Caesar salad.

Whoa you guys don’t? This is in (western) Canada, we have a chicken strips and fries combo which is a great deal as they are 5 big strips and a-heap o fries. They come out of the fryer insanely hot though so beware.

For a while we had roast beef sandwiches too but they sucked. Not sure if those are still there, they were the terrible pillar’s brand roast beef (super processed tasting) on a cibatta bun and would languish under heat lamps until someone ordered one. They also tried burgers and they were decent but I guess the trial didn’t continue.

I go to Costco with my wife and two little kids, and we usually eat there at a table. We have to have a table with an umbrella though, even though it's indoors. My 4yo demands it.

like $7-8 for all of us to eat, it's great.

Edit: Michigan here, no chicken strips.

Hah. When I was in Junior High I had a GIANT crush on this one girl at my school (we live in CA). My parents took me to Hawaii and we were eating in the Hawaii Costco and we not only saw that exact girl in Hawaiian Costco, she was in a bikini and it was basically the best day of my young life. Looking back, that was an insanely weird coincidence.

Anyways that's my Hawaii Costco story. The Lord provides. PBUC.

Easiest trick if you have to bring your kids and nephew to Costco is to call ahead, get a pepperoni pizza to go, and let them go to town when you get there.

Mine prefer the food court version to the take and bake version, but letting them share a large $10 pizza lessens the cries for samples and is a hell of a lot cheaper than Mickey Ds.

The take and bake pizza used to be better than the food court pizza, but they totally hosed it up at some point with a new version that wasn't nearly as good.

They hosed up both of them IMO and they got rid of the polish dog?? I mean Costco is still amazing but they do drop a few fractions of a point for those two things.

The shepherds pie is about the only thing as hot and scalding. I've burned the poo poo out of my mouth on both of them, and I end up doing it again the next time I eat one.

I’m actually not a fan of Costco’s poutines. They use the crispy fries. For a real poutine you need those real patates frites, like the kind you get from a guy named Serge in a stained wife beater with a chronic smoker’s cough, selling them out of an old bus on the side of a highway.

Every time I see Costco trying out some dumb new food in the food court (Cheeseburgers, sandwiches, etc.) I just think of how much easier it would've been to bring back the polish dog :(

I normally don’t like the poutine with those fries but the costco poutine with the crispy fries is extremely my jam. Soooo much cheese curds too, I love it.

I have been to Canada, unfortunately didn't have poutine at the time but I am very confused by this post because patates frites just means french fries...

I'm interested, I just don't have the experience to see what you mean. Like, I love cooking. I want to see what you see man.

I've made a few fries in my day but I tend to focus on East Asian cooking of various types, in which there is no real comparison to what you're explaining. I do very little french cooking.

Real poutine fries should be golden brown, still have the potato skin on them, be basically thirty seconds from just being mashed potatoes, and contain your entire lifetime supply of grease.
