If Costco doesn't have it in store, check office furniture liquidators in your area. If you're going to spend at least $250 you can get much higher quality stuff from there.

I took this advise from goons.

It was a GIGANTIC pain in the rear end but it ended up being worth it. When I went and did it there was a pretty big shortage of used chairs because of everyone building out home offices from the pandemic so I ended up overpaying but I still don't regret my purchase one bit. I have no idea if that's still the case.

When I got my first apartment I went to one of those discount stores and bought a $10 tool set just to make sure I had a screwdriver and a hammer.

Next to it was a $12 set for women. It was pink and smaller. I wish I still had the picture.

Had a rough day but I decided to squeeze out a quick Costco trip because I need coffee.

Saw some guy struggling by himself with 2 flatbeds with 4 boxes containing that polarizing luvsac couch so I put my (empty) cart to the side and helped him load it into his truck.

Finished up, turned around and someone took my cart :(

Then I got a hot dog and man it's just not the same without deli mustard and onions.

Or you can be Texas and have even dumber laws like any store selling liquor must be closed by 9pm, cannot open before 11am any day of the week, and cannot do any business on Sundays. Business is defined as any "work" being done in the building, so if you have employees in at any hour on a Sunday to do inventory, cleaning, or restocking you can't sell liquor.

lmao jeez

NY used to have a law that you couldn't sell alcohol before 11AM on a Sunday but it got thrown out sometime in the 90s. But that didn't stop old people from having Very Strong Opinions and giving me an earful over how I allowed the person in front of them buy booze, back when I worked retail.

One of those old people was my dad and, that was fun.


e: got into an argument with a gas station employee over this once. It was like 1AM on a Sunday and we ran out of beer at a house party and he wouldn't let us buy more over a law that hadn't existed for 20 years.

If you want a pressure washer for a one time thing (driveway) honestly you should just pay someone to do it for you. They have better equipment, better chemicals, and more experience than you. It'll come out looking better.

Cost me $200 to have someone power wash my house. The rental would've been something like $60/hour and considering I have no idea what I'm doing, I think paying someone would've ended up being cheaper in the long.

Electric power washers are more like glorified hoses so they're really just not worth it.

They don’t care about the price. The difference between a $150 fill and a $120 fill is irrelevant to them, and the time spent optimizing gas station pricing isn’t worth it.

Also maybe the like the higher pricing because it keeps the people who are penny pinching away and is some kinda money flex. Maybe the gas station is nicer. Idk. Mostly I think it’s the first point about them just being price insensitive.

There was a place around here that was $2/gal more expensive than everywhere else. It was 3rd in a line of 3 consecutive gas stations and it was always empty except for the occasional blue collar worker filling up their company vehicle.

I always just assumed it was a mob money laundering scheme or something.

Last time I got really bad sunburn I found a moisturizing lotion from CVS that had both aloe and menthol in it. Highly recommend it, I believe goldbond brand and came in a green bottle.

I don't deny rubbing straight aloe is great but lemme tell you, when you're in that much pain the extra cooling from menthol made a huge difference. The pain was so bad that I was spending all day sleeping just to escape the pain and that lotion was the first thing that brought me any kind of relief.

Costco blades work like poo poo on my car and are hella streaky. The passenger side one is also a teeny tiny bit too large and bump the frame which wears out the tip really fast. I tried going down a size once but I wasn't a fan.

But really, I haven't liked any non OEM wipers on my car. Last time I was by a Honda dealership I just bought a stack of them and kept them in my trunk.

I kept putting off a car purchase because we were trying to buy a home and a new car is one of the stupider things to buy when trying to get a mortgage.

But, uh, I don't think this house thing is happening anymore.

e: also the supply chain issues hosed up cars real bad. My dad just bought a new car. And by "bought" I mean he put in an order in with the dealership and got his name put in a queue, they'll call him back in like 6 months when they have one.

I just feel like Costco's heart isn't in the hot dog anymore and neither is mine.

I can live without the onions if I had deli mustard. And loosely throwing the dog in a paper bag instead of wrapping in foil makes condiments messy.

I did see a guy almost take a bite of his dog without lowering his mask first so that's was pretty good I guess.

And the soda is flat

Sunday morning in general is surprisingly quiet. This held true for every retail job I've ever had. There's a reason many places open an hour or two later on Sunday than usual.

If you get there early on Sunday it's pretty dead, but once it hits noon it all goes to hell really fast.
