I was getting the hard seltzer in WA for $17/24 but it's $26/24 in OH. Just going back to a slightly better tasting name brand for that price.

Is combo pizza back yet? That might be the one way to get onions on your Costco Hotdog without bringing your own.

I don't know what combo pizza is but I am imagining a pizza slice topped with Combos� and my dick is diamonds

I'd like Costco just a little more if they took Visa. And by that I mean "spend more instead of tapping into savings all the time".

if you mean charges by credit that it uses the visa debit network yes it does, it doesn't actually process a transaction on credit, and it should be that way everywhere really hate inputting a pin on a disgusting pinpad

as for the poster saying they don't have a tap to pay card, you can use google/apple/fitbit/samsung/whatever pay

I have no idea why but on a few (very few) tap to pay kiosks when I use Apple Pay it still makes me put in my PIN number. It�s fuckin weird and annoying.

its because they force it through the US debit instead of visa/mastercard debit, and the US debit network is not setup to trust a mobile phone as authentication cvm.

Wait, y�all�s churches take Apple Pay? This slightly annoys me, mine doesn�t and it is mildly inconvenient. Boooooo.

A wild Costco appears in the r/relationships thread!

quote:

My (23m) girlfriend (26f) got into confrontation at Costco. I left the store to not escalate the situation. She's accusing me of "running away" when she needed me.

quote:
Two days ago my girlfriend and I went to Costco. A guy blatantly cut in front of us in the check out line that we had been already been waiting in for almost 20 minutes. My girlfriend spoke up and told him that we were already waiting and the end of the line was way back there.

He said we didn�t move our cart forward fast enough and that meant we had �left the door open� for him to jump in. She said that was crap and to move his stuff (he had two huge carts literally filled to the brim). He said what are you going to do about b!tvh.

I didn�t want to escalate the situation so I basically just walked away and out of the store. I felt it was so much better because you just done know what people are going to do these days.

I figured my girlfriend would leave as well but I waited in the car for a good 30 minutes before I heard anything. Finally she came out with all our stuff. I asked her how it went. She said (paraphrase) �not only are you a loving coward, literally everyone in that line laughed at you about how you left me high and dry.� I tried to explain to her about not wanting to escalate and she said that no partner in the world, let alone woman wants there partner to turn tail and run. I tried to explain to her again my thought process and she said if I said one more word she was breaking up with me.

I dropped her off at her house with her stuff and I haven�t heard one word from her despite texting and calling her a few times.

What is going on here? What can I do about this? How do I make her understand my point?

Happy ending: she dumped him. Didn�t even think to talk to staff, just fully booked it out of there smdh

Right? And how can you be a Costco member without realizing that the staff are fully empowered within the corporate culture and could kick that guy out for you? OP�s membership should be revoked just for his lack of faith in the church imo

You're right, revoke his membership. He can start a gofundme to get a Sam's Club membership where he can use the app that lets him scan & go with the app. He is clearly too timid to enjoy the splendor of Rotisserie Chicken, and obviously too weak to survive the wait for the return of Chopped Onions. Cast him out and let this pitiful excuse of a petitioner practice foul sorcery at Walt's tower.

I'm currently limping along with a 15 year old Kenmore-branded Panasonic canister vac and that thing is a loving tank. I want another canister because I know it'll last for FOREVER, but "stick vacuums are soooooo much more convenient!". Which means I'll just get the Miele once the novelty wears off for my S/O!

Rufio: Feb 6, 2003; I'm smart! Not like everybody says... like dumb... I'm smart and I want respect!

I was hesitant to switch to a battery stick vacuum after using a canister for years but man it is great. I vacuum so much more often because it's so convenient to just grab it and go. I got a Tineco from a prime deal because all the top brands are so pricey.

As for Costco I finally took advantage of their return policy when we discovered we loved our air fryer so much that the 6q just wasn't going to cut it. I gotta admit I felt a little silly walking in with just my appliance that I had used for a month and a half, no box no paperwork or anything. However it was no problem. PBUC

I miss waiting behind the ladies who would crank the onion dispenser into a water cup to take home a cuppa onions.

My Costco had samples which felt so bizarre. But they were all prepackaged in bags that they told you to not eat in store. It was shocking to watch people walk right by samples, COVID conditioned to not even bat an eye.

The nonstick coating on my Costco Air Fryer is peeling. I was tempted to bring it back, but it's been 6 months and I'm chalking it up to overuse. Maybe I can contact the manufacturer first...

The LG Cord Zero that Costco puts on sale once in a while is great. Comes with two REPLACEABLE batteries, unlike the Dysons which are sealed.

This is what sealed the deal for me with the LG vs a Dyson. Replaceable batteries are the poo poo, anything other than replaceable batteries is just hostile to the environment AND owner

Any suggestions on poo poo to pick up that's on the flyer for this month? Going tomorrow after I go hang with my grandma

I avoid the issue entirely by laying down some nice Costco parchment paper underneath the rack, mostly to make cleanup easier

Echoing the other poster, just to be clear. I think there was one model a while ago that you had to remove a screw or two to replace the battery� all newer versions just clip in to replace them. We have a Dyson cordless and love it. I wouldn�t have bought one you couldn�t replace the battery on.

I bought more parchment paper last time I was at Costco thinking I was running out of it. Got home and found another 2-pack of it hidden in the pantry. Two hours later my husband came home with another pack of them because he didn't know I went to Costco. My Mom brought me more in a house warming gift today. I'm not good at math so I'll say that's at least 2 million sq ft of it. They will be able to bury me wrapped in the parchment paper I already have in my pantry.

Everyone is getting gifts wrapped in baking paper for a few years. PBUC.

That's amazing. I bought aluminum foil the same way but I sure didn't get tripled up.
