I had to look this up and apparently they swapped distillers somewhat recently and the new stuff is supposedly terrible compared with the old one. I hope they get it under control again since I’ve gotten a bottle of that before and thought it was decent.

yeah the gin used to be fantastic if you wanted something with really nice botanicals.

I dunno how far back they switched but I guess I did sort of notice that the freshly opened bottle wasn't as punchy as it normally is, obviously once you've opened the bottle air gets in and it does oxidize and get a little stale as it ages, I guess you could say the bottle maybe tasted a little staler than I expected for a new bottle.

it was still better than anything else you'd find in that price bracket though

Before the pandemic I watched an old, old man take a package of those turkey roll-up things from the deli section, carefully arrange them all in the lid of the package, then slowly cover them all with ketchup and mustard at the food court station before finally cranking a solid inch of onions from the onion dispenser over the whole thing.

I think about him a lot.

There's nothing wrong with any of that. Skip the ketchup and add extra mustard but he's got good ideas.

Hello thread. Been awhile.

Today was a good day. Went in and bought a few things I needed and used my Executive rebate. It says you can't redeem it for cash but they gave me the remaining $150 balance in cash!

Then I went to the counter to get even MORE cash from my Citi VISA Rewards card annual cash-back. Walked out with what I needed and around $600 bux. :homebrew:

I think I just go onto the Citi website when I pay my bill and apply the rewards to my statement amount.

If you can manage to not eat them all in one sitting, put them in an airtight container so they don't get stale. If they do, just sprinkle a little water on the bottom and toast that bad boy for a minute.

I am so glad my 'Co didn't have any last time I went.

was it just the pesto they sell in the dip aisle and the ciabata they sell in the bakery? i know they also sell giant packs of provolone and turkey slices in the deli area as well, which is possibly the same they used in the food court.

seems pretty easy ot grab those 5 ingredients and just make a dozen of them yourself

So we were using Commerical versions of the product so I'm not too sure. The Provolone was Bel Gioso or something brand, The turkey is diffrent from the deli turkey but a sub should be fine. The Aioli was the same one used in deli for something, so It might be the same as the dip. If not mix the Pesto with some Mayo and you should be good. The bread was the same as the ones in the bakery, just in larger batches I beleive

Do you guys still have registers in the food court? My Costco just took them out recently. They still have the self serve kiosks they put in a couple years ago, but if you want to pay cash the only way to do it is to go see a supervisor which is annoying. They used to let you pay at the regular checkout for food court stuff but that hasn't been a thing for a while and I wish they would bring it back.

Mine does but the plan is to go fully cashless in their eventually, covid sped up the process but it's been in the works for a couple years, the Food court loses money consistently and reducing staffing is the easiest way to cut the cost, so they figure pawning off the cashier work to the member is a good way to reduce labor.

Purely from a personal level I think the FC is one of the most mismanaged departments, the higher ups waffle constantly about what to do with it. Introduce higher ticket items to get more revenue, or cut menu to reduce costs. The people managing it tend to have only taken the job to get their foot in the door of management so they don't give much of a poo poo, the job doesn't pay clerk pay even though imo it's harder than Deli, Bakery, and Cashiering. The whole priority list just seems hosed up.

When I was working in there I always saw it as a customer experience job not a money maker, losing ten grand a month on the food court is pennies compared to the warehouse profits as a whole, so why not just see it as a way to both feed the employee's and to provide a good experience for the members.

Well at least the food court is always going to be there, and not turned into an online only service like fellow money losing department photo. And I'd argue that working in the bakery is harder than working in the food court. Maybe not now but definitely during the holiday season.

I never understood why the deli employees are on the same pay scale as the cashiers but the food court employees are not. They're both handling food so they should be getting the same pay. But that's not as bad as a forklift driver who drives a 12,000 pound killing machine for a living getting the same rate of pay as someone making sandwiches in the deli.

I'm biased as my previous jobs have mostly been in bakeries so I was perfectly comfortable working in there. Deli is some bullshit though, they always have way too many people in there and they sit and dick around all day then panic when they start getting to the ends of their shifts and still don't have the prep done. Membership is the Dept that really shouldn't be clerks though, honestly.
