I'm still not clear on what the overfill slip is can we get a detailed explanation on that? Like do they basically give you the difference for free or something?

It's a piece of paper that says "overfill slip" at the top that has sections for the date, pump, amount you asked for, amount that was filled, and the person who did it. Then they can refund you the difference in cash or on your card at the customer service counter.

He didn't hear you. He is working around cars that are running, pumps that are running, co-workers that are yelling. He didn't hear you and asked if regular was ok.

and goes "REGULAR OKAY" and takes the card and walks to the pump and I was like to my wife "wow that guy is in a hurry, he knew what I wanted I guess because everyone gets regular or something?"

You didn't answer his question and the air temp in Oregon over the last few days has been over 110 degrees during the day. I'm not sticking around if you aren't answering, I'm trying to survive in that heat.

Then you have the lovely rear end demand that you be reimbursed for fuel THAT YOU ARE GETTING REIMBURSED FOR. Who do you work for? I want to file a complaint.

Are those the Red's? I liked those. I did buy a box of breakfast burritos there that I returned because they were 95% potato in the filling. I forget the brand, but it was the "healthy"-er one.

The vegetarian Reds were good (not sure they have them anymore). The chicken ends up with a weird texture that isn’t very appetizing. I also tried some frozen burrito bowls that were utterly inedible so stay away from those.

Those are the ones, they taste really tangy which is not what im really expecting from a burrito. It is a pretty unique flavor though

No because my gas tank isn’t large enough for $50 fills right now and it’s doled out in $25 increments and we have to turn in receipts (people abused it in the past), so if we get gas and it isn’t in some increment of that, we don’t get reimbursed. It’s not tracked in mpg either, we have a program online where we plug in our route and it automatically calculates mileage and whatnot. Our job often has us on the road driving around to customers out in the field (large machinery and farm equipment) so don’t think I don’t understand hot rear end dusty weather either. I make a concerted effort to try and be louder and clearer when I’m asking for these amounts because I don’t want them to gently caress it up. He definitely had to hear me say ‘25’ but didn’t verbally confirm the amount I wanted - but the issue was how he handled it afterwards regardless. If I talked to and blamed my customers’ country drawl or something the way he talked to me for something that I didn’t confirm and just assumed they wanted, my rear end would get Karened on as well.

Also hilarious that some people here think that getting a gas allowance is like free money or something. Do you also think employer match on a 401k is free money too? If I don’t use it and use it right I’m just giving my money away to the company. I’m going to get a dog and drink tomorrow to wash away the guilt and pain I feel for crushing this poor man. Also maybe a slice of cheese.

I love that a whole 45 total seconds of an interaction with someone has caused you to write multiple paragraph about how hard your life is and how rough you have it. It's fascinating to watch someone bend themselves into a pretzel because a clerk didn't bow properly to Their Lordship Costco Card Holder.

Aw thanks so much for this! I have fennel wasting away in my crisper and I didn't know what to do with it. Sounds good.

Try the apples. I do two small honeycrisps or opals per half sheet pan of sprouts and as much onion as I can fit in there. Hit it with some extra pepper, it need it.

It's so drat good with just bacon and apples. Make sure you dice the bacon or it cooks badly. I do olive oil, s&p, and a few good shakes of crushed red pepper. If it needs "something" at the end, give it a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice.

We have the "Everything's Better with Bacon" cookbook, and the bacon apple crisp is amazing.

I accidentally stopped at a full service gas station exactly one time in my life and it was really weird sitting there as someone 3' away pumped my gas for me. Incredible that 16-year-olds are allowed to fly down the road going 80 while texting in an SUV but someone in their 40s can't pump their own gas for safety reasons in the same states. :lol:

The only thing that frustrates me about the 'co gas pumps is I always seemingly am stuck in the line where people drag the hose across their trunks because the tank is on the other side of the car. Every vehicle I have ever been in has an arrow on the gas gauge to indicate which side the tank is on. Don't make me wait longer just cause you don't wanna wait with the other GMC owners.

This is a thing that Costco gas pumps are great for, it doesn't matter where you go, the nozzle will reach. They are designed that way. Maybe you should be open to using all pumps instead of the ones you think are just for your specific pump side :colbert:

Right. Complaining about the 5 extra seconds it takes for me to walk the hose around to the other side of my vehicle is also incredibly pedantic, like complaining about extra gas.

Oh, Dee, you card. :-*

Hey it is no sweat off my back if you wanna scratch your own trunk with the gravel attached to the hose but the pumps here require you to physically press a safety while pumping and we don't have those extra long hoses at my 'co, so you're standing there with a short hose parked 0.5" from the pump to get it to reach. My experience stems from a pump attendant getting chewed out at a neighboring pump because the customer scratched the poo poo out of their tailgate instead of just going to a driver-side pump.

I'm jealous of the stations with the long hoses though, for sure. Here, it is people going "oops not close enough" and taking an extra 45-60 sec to turn the vehicle back on and pull forward so they can backup closer to the pump. It's much slower. Still worth saving about $0.30/gal regardless of the pump situation.

While I'm pump complaining, the worst feeling in the world is when the person who used the pump before you prints a receipt but doesn't grab it, so when you are finished filling up and decide not to get one, the pump attendant comes up to rip the previous receipt out and assumes it is yours. Feels bad.
