I went to costco a week ago and was in like at the food court and had a boomer ready to kill me for a hotdog

dude comes up to me super aggressively: are you waiting?
me: yeah
dude: ... are you waiting to order???
me: yes, i need to order

so dude positions himself to my right while i have a shopping cart in front of me. when it's my turn to order he tries to loving charge ahead of me so i just pretended i was pushing my cart off to the side so i could speak to the cashier.

my girlfriend told me he gave me the dirtiest look and was pacing behind me as he waited and then his wife came up to yell at him that she was ready to leave

what im saying is there are heretics in the church. had a good brisket sandwich tho.

That's almost as bad as getting the ol' cart to the Achilles.

Question though, is it rude to part abandoned/waiting for food carts parked haphazardly? Like Moses, I tend to clear carts that block the path of the righteous. Some samplerfolk act offended that I laid hands on their cart parked diagonally across the aisle.

i try to be v attentive to where i leave my cart when im doing something especially when navigating it down aisles. costco just has the general retail thing of people being amazingly unaware of their surroundings but exaggerated because when someone will stop to text with a huge rear end cart turned perpendicular in a tiny produce aisle

pbuc though im going this week for some chicken thighs

if you're down with fish i recommend the pickled herring for sale at costco. it's a big rear end jar and has a very mild flavor but is pretty dang good.

also the organic salsa, holy gently caress.

i even got some interlocking rubber floor pads for like $12.

My costco was pushing executive memberships today but unless they prorate my recently started membership I don't know if it's worth it to do the executive upgrade

There were a bunch of middle managers walking around and I'm worried it's going to get weird there now

They do this for a 3-day period once every month. You basically have nothing to worry about if being pressed by managers to upgrade is something that bothers you.

oh nbd then. i was planning to upgrade once it comes time to renew anyway. i just worked retail previously and a bunch of managers walking the floor and talking to customers was always the sign of some bullshit on the horizon. good to hear it's just some routine thing. pbuc

How big a fan did you go for? Got a pic? Trip report?

just two of the vornaod air circulators ($40) and 1 of these cheapass tower fans for like $20

the vornados got rung up twice and they're in pretty big boxes. pbuc because they didn't hassle me at all and made the entire process pretty seamless. i'm sure they pull camera footage or whatever down the line

pbuc, they saved me from this heat spell

Lol at anyone who goes to Wal-mart's knockoff of costco

my mom and her husband go to sc for some reason and it's bizarre. I went to help them get flooring and they kept going to different cashiers across multiple checkouts, terrified that the waltons themselves would rip the deal away

they have too few locations cuz they didn't join in the orgy of leveraging every other brick and mortar store did in the early 2000's to expand harder (or they didn't join in as much, rather)

which is why their financial position is strong af and most of those brick and mortar stores are wasting away from debt service

I haven't had any issues with it, but citi does some weird poo poo

Like if you renew/upgrade your membership they send you a notification that you requested a new card and it's being mailed

Also if you've already paid and the payment due date is soon, their web portal puts the upcoming due date in scary text and makes you think you didn't pay

Other than that it's fine
