What's the queue like for Gas at your costco? In my town Costco is the only place that doesn't rip you off on fuel so the queue is always huge.

I've never had to wait in line. Our pumps are also brand new so I think a lot of people don't know they exist, despite the giant signs, banners, and the 2 months of construction because people are loving idiots.

My Costco is 7 minutes away from my apartment so it's trivial to just swing by to buy one or two things (and a dog). poo poo owns.

I have a Costco 5 minutes from work and 5 minutes from home so I’m ‘stco-ing all the time

going to the one by work in the middle of a weekday owns, going on the weekend is a madhouse in the parking lot. gas lines are loving bananas too, I don’t understand lining up 30 deep to save 7 cents a gallon but whatever

They're usually like 25c a gallon cheaper here in Michigan. My closest one is about 5 minutes away, so I run in there probably twice a week, and almost always get my gas from there.

I live about 5 or 8 mins away from a costco. Depends if I hit all red lights getting there. My only real complaint is that it's located next to a walmart, target, and other random crap so the parking lot and driving into said parking lot can get pretty annoying.


My dad keeps buying Kirkland brand trail mix and mixing it in a giant jug with other NUTZ he buys for the office. All I do is eat nuts all day.

I'm gonna have to admit I thought this way too when I saw it at the church. Then once day my cousin busted out a tub and it was game over from then. Stuff is insanely good. It's chipotle sauce for dippin. Ignore the almond part. Also, it's really not good for if you eat it like I eat it. Smothering it all over chicken bakes and my face.

My local 'Co is now offering a 6-pack of strawberry-filled, powdered-sugar-dusted croissants for like $9. They looked amazing but unfortunately, were a bit of a letdown. The moisture from the strawberry filling kinda permeated the whole croissant and removed any crispness from the layers. They're still very tasty, but if I want some real croissant action, I'm going to have to stick to the regular 12-packs they have.

Yeah they're good, but if I want something strawberry filled with powdered sugar on it I'd rather just get some donuts.

I drive an hour to my church every month and the cash back pays for my Executive membership. What a buffoon

I live about 4 hours away from my nearest Costco. We did drop our executive membership as we were only going about 4 times a year and never bought enough to make up the difference vs. Gold Star, but I'll maintain the membership no matter what. Costco's online selection is pretty good and you can get most stuff there for about the same price as the warehouse, perfect for people like me who can't make it to the 'Co on a regular basis.

Hadn't been to the 'tco in at least a month, went today to get a chicken and some brie and swiffers and random stuff.

Saw they had a self serve kiosk table set up, friendly costco employee standing there. But nobody was using it, everyone just standing in line!

Went up and pushed that pizza button, like 30 seconds later dude had my slice of 'a ready. poo poo owns. Costco employee gave me a nod, you got this!

Everyone else: still standing in line.

You can only use the kiosk if you pay with a card, you still have to stand in line if you're paying cash. The Costco employee was most likely standing there to tell everyone exactly that. That's how we did it at my Costco right after we got the kiosk. But it's also just as likely that the people in line are idiots.

I'm torn on don't think I like the kiosk. It's easier for us, sure. I asked the workers if they liked it and a few of them said it just made a lot more work for them since half the people wander off after they get their ticket and the workers have to yell numbers until the person with the ticket shows up.

Why wouldn't you go right over to the counter and pick up your food?

It also takes up a lot of space in the middle of the former queue area and makes people cluster around and obstruct the way to the counter.

No Bitchin Sauce at my church, the name is probably too edgy for us wholesome Indiana folk.

Did get to restock on chicken burgers while they are in stock though, and those greek yogurt mint choc chip popsicles that are on sale this month are very good and diet friendly.

Yes, but Costco gas is probably better, since it's Top Tier compliant (an improved detergent blend that was written by a bunch of carmakers)

That's right. Even Kirkland Brand gasoline is a better generic product than what's offered at lesser merchants.
