Are memberships shareable overseas? I'd be happy to offer the available spots in my Executive Membership provided you are from a respected family (landed gentry only pls).

Disagree with a lot of the thread: 1- kimchi is ok but so bland. 2- shoyo ramen , ok with egg but I can’t seem to make it in microwave without getting the noodles way too soft. 3-Korean style frozen dumplings in a bag, not bad but the same brand as Kroger without a big price difference. 4-fresh sweet Italian sausages so loving bland. Don’t remember the brand, they made me pine for the aggressive flavor profile of loving Wisconsin’s Jonsonville. 5-box of trayed individual 6pc dumpling servings- above average and extra plastic waste makes them work well in microwave. 6- polar seltzer- same as any other brand and dirt cheap a+++ will buy again. Last case had some leaky half-empty cans so I will prolly bring back case upc to get a refund. 7- honeycrisp apples, asparagus, peaches, gently caress yes. Always perfect. Hmmm, maybe I’ll take the rest of the crappy sausages out of the freezer and return those with the seltzer upc. Finally, gently caress COVID food court. No combo, or even special order veggie or sausage pizza, only yellow mustard and CATSUP for dogs? Garbage. Utter loving bullshit.

They do, I've used my US membership at every Costco country except China and Iceland, because I haven't been back to either for work since they opened. I remember reading about the UK membership requirements at some point, and the trade license requirements were because of UK law in order for them to actually charge a membership fee.

Fellas the organic probiotic sauerkraut in a tub with a green label sold in the refrigerated section is incredible. I have put it on two Costco dogs so far and I am making reubens later this week with it. Very sad that I couldn't find the Red's street corn dip last time I went. Please tell me it's not gone forever

Finally had a steak as per this thread's advice. That is, once you go Prime you never go back. Oh good lord do I hate you guys. It tasted halfway between butter and the Platonic ideal of steak. I guess $40 for 6 steaks isn't too bad if I have one per month, but I still feel like a dweeb for needing this in my life. As for cook style, I'm kind of lazy so I just seared/cooked it in butter with a couple sprigs of thyme in a cast iron skillet. Nice crust, nice cook, nice flavor, fine by me. PS: I'm sorry, Britain.

That's not lazy. Add some garlic cloves and you have god's method of cooking steak. And by some garlic, I of course mean two entire heads per person. e: and of course, enough salt that the surface is basically a salt lick.

I have a confession. My wife is a degenerate who only eats well done steak. I almost exclusively buy the Costco filet mignon because it's so god drat good that it doesn't turn into shoe leather when you cook it well done. It's not my favorite type of steak, but it's still extremely satisfying. Plus, what I do for her steak, is that I'll cook it alongside mine to a nice medium rare. Then (after resting) I'll slice her steak into thin strips and throw it back into the cast iron filled with butter so each slice gets to sear again. It cooks through to well done in a matter of minutes but not so long that it dries out. For as much as I think well done steaks are an abomination, it actually comes out incredibly good this way. She won't eat the fatty tips so those are my special treat that I get to look forward to. She has no idea what she's missing. I could do with a nice, thick ribeye sometime soon though. The filet is nice and tender but it's just not as beefy tasting.

I'm ashamed to admit that I avoid as much of the food section as I can due to the sheer number of people zombie-shuffling around with their masks under their chin. I cannot wait for this to pass so I may go back to browsing The Church in peace.

Now it's a solo run, head down, just get what's on the list, ignore the entire middle section, and go. It's sad. Also, I had a Taiwanese Costco membership, but it couldn't be used here in the US. Different systems, they didn't have a way to look up my information at all.

fischtick posted:WE DON'T SPEAK ILL OF COSTCO My son is turning 5 so we're getting him a "big boy" bed. We have the frame and since we've been happy with the mattress we use that was ordered from Costco.com (and the washer and the stove) I tried to order a new full-sized mattress. First, the site complained that my membership had expired on 8/31. We were last there that week and so I was slightly miffed that they notify me then. I know in 25 years they've never pre-emptively notified me or my parents, but I wish they would. No big deal, I'll just renew online. NOPE. I'm on my parents business account and it wouldn't let me renew because I wasn't in as my parents name. That seemed odd to not be able renew since I routinely renew in the store without any complaint. I was allowed to order the mattress with a 5% "non-member charge" which didn't seem unreasonable to me (my Costco is about 40 min away and I didn't have an immediate plan to go there). So I ordered and got a confirmation email. Twenty minutes later I received a cancellation with no explanation at all. Thinking maybe I'd mistyped my credit card, I tried again with the same result. It seemed obvious to me that despite no explicit explanation, the explanation was in fact due to my expired membership. So I made a trip, renewed in person, and re-ordered the mattress the other day without incident. Kind of speaking ill here.

https://twitter.com/NBCNews/status/1308764062906544128quote:In reaction to the murder of two local residents, Brian Henry, founder of Palmetto Cheese and mayor of Pawleys Island, South Carolina, took to Facebook on Aug. 25 with a message many residents considered to be racist in nature."I am sickened by the senseless killings in Georgetown last night. 2 [sic] innocent people murdered. Not 2 thugs or people wanted on multiple warrants. 2 white people defenselessly gunned down by a black man," Henry wrote. "So why do we stand by and allow BLM to lawlessly destroy great American cities and threaten their citizens on a daily basis ... this has gone on too long. Rise up America. This BLM and Antifa movement must be treated like the terror organizations they are." quote:Henry was unreachable for comment Tuesday, but on Sept. 3, the mayor issued an apology for the Facebook post at a press conference at the Pawleys Island Sea View Inn, which Henry and his wife, Sassy, own and operate. He did not address the NAACP's call for his mayoral resignation, but did ask that people consider the hundreds of South Carolina workers Palmetto employs before boycotting the brand. Edit: Sassy looks pissed
