They will seriously roll up with three customers orders in their cart, expect us to sort all the poo poo for them, box it all separately while holding up the entire line. BTW we're rated on how fast we can process members, those fuckers destroy our statistics every time they come through. When they were letting 'em in early hours when lifts were on the floor, I saw so many of them almost getting hit by forklifts cause they couldn't loving pay attention for a second. I hate them so loving much Anyways we wouldn't make money the profit per whole pizza is like a dollar

My buddy was on leave and we got wasted and ordered dominos, loving fifty bucks for two small rear end pizza's, some pop, and some wings. The pizza size at the Foodcourt has destroyed my objectivity towards pizza size

In these anxious times, one of my most consistent pleasures in life has become sorting my Costco cart so all the barcodes are visible and the employees don't have to do poo poo except wave the scanner over everything. People are super nice about noticing and thanking me for it too. Welp that's my story.

What Midwestern hellhole are y’all writing from that you’re dropping $50 on some heated up frozen wings from Dominos? Costco pizza is good for what it is, it’s good for two bucks a slice when you want a change from the hot dog, and on the continuum of lovely landlocked-America white people “I only eat beige plates” bread-pizza it’s arguably some of the best of its breed. But let’s not pretend it stands up to pizza from literally any pizzeria charging $10+ a pie. It is definitely not the hot dog, and it’s not the hot dog of pizza deals, unless you’re only counting by mass I guess.

Shwqa posted:It not too hard to go under $100 if you already get some stuff from different suppliers/allergies. Like I get eggs and meat from a local ranches and my partner can't have milk. The cheese isle and muffins have no effect on us! My dog also has to get specialized food that isn't at costco. A light trip for us is like: Honestly most of my two person household trips are under $100, it's just that we have a few big ticket purchases a year that knock us into the category where the executive membership is worth it. Like the $1300 TV a few weeks ago and the vacation we're planning. Right now we're on pre-weight loss surgery diets so protein shakes and powder are much cheaper at the 'co. Usually it's one replacement of a bulk household item like TP, soap or cat litter, a few grocery purchases (normandy blend and greek yogurt = blessed) and a case of some protein product. Usually roll out with a cart under $100. Our rebate is already almost $50 since it reset in November.

mds2 posted:I bought the $169 shark at Costco. We have a golden retriever that sheds like crazy and this thing has a pre-roller thing that catches all the hair before it gets to the brushes. It works awesome. Thanks for the recommendation. I will look into this one. See if she wants to try it out. Enos Cabell posted:I hope someone comes in to prove me a liar but I don't think such a thing exists. We've got long hair and pets and own both a Shark corded and Dyson Animal V7 wireless, and the rollers on both get completely covered in no time at all. I've owned other brands in the past (hoover at least and one other I can't recall) and they all do the same drat thing. I've gotten really good with a box cutter and vice grips to clean them off by now. This was what I was thinking too because I have never seen one without bristles that would grab all the hair. I will have to get her one of those envelope opener things to see fi that helps with the current vacuum.

I use a steak knife to cut the hair out of our Dyson. It’s not as dangerous as it sounds. The new roomba has these textured rubber rollers that do a remarkable job of collecting hair, then you simply pop them out and side the hair off to one end. I’ve been pretty happy with the new roomba, but it’s a LOT louder than the old one, and with everyone home. All. The. Time. it’s hard to find a time to run it.

I worked at Pizza Hut in the early 90s and their pizzas are actually (very slightly) cheaper now than they were then. Delivery used to be free though, so total cost for delivered pizzas have gone up but not nearly as much as other other things have increased in the same time. It makes me wonder what they’ve done to keep the costs down.

There's a perfectly good market for fast food garbage pizza and even in the land of good pizza, I get the hankering for some. Pizza hut is the only one that consistently leaves me disappointed. It loving sucks.

This mantis thing is intriguing to me. What kind of stuff do they normally feed on? Like would our humming bird friends be at risk? Or do the mantises just hang out in the grass and gobble up things down there? We don't have a shitload of bugs around here but every year I do find one or two in our warehouse at work so I guess they do have a reason for existing in this area (Portland, Or).

Pretty sure it would not affect hummingbirds, they’re not that big! From the blurb: quote:An excellent general predator! Praying mantis consumes aphids, beetles, flies, mosquitos, moths, caterpillars and any insect they can catch. Praying mantis, an insect with an innate killer attitude, is a great garden predator. One egg case hatches many tiny babies that quickly disperse throughout your garden. Your egg case contains approximately 40 to 400 eggs. They actually make kind of neat pets too, of a sort: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty3F30lgHZs (I don’t have exotic pets but I love this guy’s YouTube channel)

40-400!?! I mean I think our yard could accommodate 40ish pretty well, but 400 would be overwhelming. I know that scarcity of food will take care of them somewhat but I don't want to inflict them involuntarily upon our neighbors. Maybe one of them will inflict them on us. However, we have a few planters filled with bamboo and grass in a u-shape around most of the house and man I can just imagine how well they'd hide up in the bamboo. My friend's daughter comes to mow the grass about once a month in the Summer and this could be a great way to surprise her into learning about carnivorous insects.
