I get pretty irritated with the DirectTV guys asking me every time I come to shop “Hey you want to hear what we got going on today?” You’re trying to sling cable that’s what you got going on, be upfront about it. Someone runs into them the first time they may think they’re gonna talk about something Costco has going on. Nope it’s just a cold approach trying to sale cable. They need to say “Can we talk to you about what DirectTV is offering?”

Also if you serve it individually in little stoneware bowls or whatever you have on hand it makes an easy, incredible dinner party dessert. They had this popcorn out for samples today. It was kinda bland. :|

Learned you can pay for your hotdog with the rest of your items at check-out today. There's no point to doing it as you still have to wait in line and show the food court your receipt but you can do it.

If the sales man wants to talk I just don't talk and continue to look pointlessly at the bathroom rug things across the aisle from him and then walk away If it is a hot girl I want to do I begin the seduction

its a good idea to take some samples of your own to exchange with the sample people so you don't owe them anything. Receive a medicine up of chicken salad and leave a grape in its place. Ask the sample person if they'd like to try a grape.

Got an 18” pizza with a coworker who has a membership, it was 10$ and sodas out of the vending machine we’re a dollar but overall.. meh. I’ll try the dog but it’s probably not worth the drive. Maybe it’s just a central Ohio thing but pretty much no one in the store had any regard whatsoever of the people surrounding them, and it was generally more uncomfortable than say a Walmart shopping experience

i am harry posted:Why is the vanilla ice cream so expensive? $13 for two half gallon containers.... The other stuff you been buying it fake dogshit probably Cream is expensive, how much would it cost you to buy a gallon of cream? Cheap brands work air in as much as they can (adding agents to promote this) and it gets to be that a pint of shitcream is something like 40% cream and 60% air. Premium brands avoid doing this. They also don't jam in as much milk as they can get away with, etc raton fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Dec 2, 2018 |

Yeah, check your cheap rear end ice cream and the packaging will probably describe it as "frozen dairy topping" or some poo poo while carefully dancing around the term "ice cream" because it can't legally describe itself as such

I bought an ice cream maker to go with my kitchen aid mixer, and the vanilla ice cream I made from scratch was only just as good as the stuff Costco sells. I don’t make homemade ice cream any more.

That's because in English we say milk and cream not cream and milk because the m doesnt allide well with the reduced "and" sound ("n") Also pint of Ben and Jerrys is like four bucks, there are eight pints in a gallon so that's three times as expensive

Fallom posted:I assume my cost for cream is 200x what an ice cream manufacturer would pay for an order of 100 tons I think your assumption is wrong about the cost, grocery stores run on pretty thin margins on stuff like cream (that can be bought at any store and whose prices people remember and compare). Probably no more than 50% up from bulk wholesale.
