Hold card outward in hand and they scan it through the plexiglass. Otherwise same procedure for me. 30 seconds for them ring up the whole cart.

A costco I used to go to had a parking lot with a significant slope to it too and I made a point to never park on the downhill side because you would see carts just piled up down there all the drat time. It's a walmart now so probably just as bad. Brain Curry posted:Based on your avatar: Shopping carts have a SEP field generator. lol

My father was not a religious man, but he was a 35 year career retail clerk and he would say to me. "There are two types of people in this world, the ones who return their cart, and the ones who die and go directly to hell."

Not to derail super exciting checkout etiquette chat, but I apparently learned nothing from the disappointingly bland lobster bisque and got some of the "spicy" crab and corn chowder. Sadly, it was also pretty bland.

I got to costco once when the parking lot was full, and one space was left and it was full of carts, which weren't even properly 'stacked' together. I got to it as someone dumped their cart there, and I got out and shouted at them (pre-covid) and they walked away smiling. I pushed them all together, put them out of the space, parked in the space, and walked the carts all back to a cart rack thing. Some people can go to hell.

That lobster bisque is absolutely a joke. There must be at most 1/8 oz of lobster meat in the entire container to go with the 5 grams of sodium in it. The only use I found was to use it as a pasta sauce, but even its like a artificially flavored/colored alfredo sauce with tiny, tiny bits of lobster meat in there.

Get a real speaker set up. Speaker technology hasn't really advanced at all in the last fifty years, so go out thrifting for some loose speakers and a receiver. Guarantee even a budget 2.1 setup will sound a hell of a lot better than some lovely soundbar.

I know how to rig up an audio setup and everything, but space is at a premium so if sound bars didn't suck it'd be a great option. Ach well.

if anything home audio technology has gotten steadily worse (in terms of sound quality) over the past 30 years! i second the notion of looking for an older receiver and nice set of speakers to go with it that you can find used. only downside is they take up a lot more space than a soundbar would. you can buy an aux bluetooth adapter for wireless.

N'th agreeing that the lobster bisque and crab corn chowder are some of the most bland soups imaginable! I don't understand how they were so boring. I also used them both for pasta sauce and had to add tons of ingredients/spices just to make it slightly enjoyable. I'm also in the "Bitch'n Sauce is fine". I bought a tub and struggled to see the appeal. It is a more flavorful hummus-style dip. Fine on sandwiches, fine as a dip for chips/veggies, but would never get again. For those in search of actual Clorox Wipes - the Costco Business Center has them, including lots of alternatives too. Last, I wish I got a picture, but there was a sign reading "CHURROS ARE COMING BACK, and they'll be IMPROVED AND BETTER THAN EVER".

Propaganda Machine posted:Let us know if it's any good! All of my sound comes from my TV itself so I could probably use an upgrade. Never owned one before so I don't have much to compare it to, but soundbars in general are a compromise of size, space, and price. As another poster pointed out, you might get lucky on Craigslist with a 5.1 or 2.1 speaker setup with receiver, but you might not in that $100-200 price range. Sometimes people move and need to get rid of quality systems ASAP, though. Everything on my local craiglist has been absolute garbage if it's less than $500. We bought the soundbar to go in our bedroom, so I wasn't looking for theatre quality sound or anything - just something a little better so I could more cleanly hear voices for YouTubes, Twitch, whatever. It's leagues better than the built in TV speakers for that, so I'm happy. If I was watching movies, I'm going to my living room, though.

My 7 year old UPS died so I ordered one from Costco....they sent me a package of cookies instead. I had to explain to the poor lady on the phone that a piece of technology is not equal to cookies. Sigh. At least they said since its a food item I wont have to send it back like the last time the screwed up....in November.
