ninjoatse.cx posted:Wondering how the hell they cover a sibling Costco has a policy where they prefer to hire family members so they worked at the same place. Ones in charge of the tire center and the other was like customer service person Maybe it's not a policy everywhere but around here Costco's are run by Mennonites and they were both raised Mennonite despite being Puerto Rican and atheists while working there. Honestly there's a lot of Mennonite places that are mostly staffed by other Mennonites here Aesop Poprock fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Jun 20, 2022 |

Costco is a weird place that still clings to the best business sense around that you hire good people and take care of them and they'll take care of your business . MBAs have spent the last 40 years trying to get everyone to unlearn this simpleton poo poo we figured out a hundred years ago.... Everyone just pretends it doesn't make long term sense, because it doesn't make quarterly sense.

Visiting the warehouse every day to ask every employee in sight when the onion dispenser is coming back, then leaving without buying anything.

DNK posted:I love Costco but the Frozen Kirkland Pepperoni Pizza is garbage. This makes me sad. Real 'Za, another Bernatello's, was a really good frozen pizza when it was around. It was one of those dumb "natural" brands, but super tasty. It tasted like what you remembered frozen pizzas to be years ago before all of the companies started pinching pennies and making worse and worse quality pizzas.

It's called the Italian sausage sandwich even though it's served on a hot dog bun. That is unequivocal proof that a hot dog is, in fact, a sandwich

Thanks everyone for the protein thoughts earlier, I routinely get something from Costco and then a day later discover there was something fantastic that would suit that I hadn't considered so I wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking "Kirkland Chipotle Seitan Chunks" or something

Has anyone bought that Dyson fan/air purifier that's on sale? With summer starting here that means wildfire season isn't far behind. It's really expensive, but is it actually worth it?

binge crotching posted:Has anyone bought that Dyson fan/air purifier that's on sale? With summer starting here that means wildfire season isn't far behind. It's really expensive, but is it actually worth it? I think it's a HEPA filter air purifier attached to a very expensive blade-less fan. You could probably save a lot of money with a decent purifier and regular old fan.

the cube filter is cool as heck but also you can get air purifiers for a lot less than Dyson prices, just make sure you can get reasonably priced replacement filters because that's the real cost of those things. I checked, their website lists replacement filters at $70. haha no. Purifiers in general really do help with wildfire season, though. Psion fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Jun 21, 2022 |

The kiosks are only as good as the amount of people working the counter. At my costcos there is either no line and the kiosks are great, or there is a big line of kiosk orders and cash payers and there are always more employees manning the registers so the cash payers get helped much faster.

The fact that a kiosk can serve more than one person at a time, and the cashier is freed up to grab the food.
