I thought the Costco business center near me was re-doing their food court section while they were closed to the public during the pandemic, but the nice cashier told me today that it's permanently gone. Can't be too mad though, it turns out the construction in that area was for a new employee break section. Products-wise, we now get Waterloo seltzers alongside Polar and Lacroix, which is nice because more flavors, yay! Got a case of watermelon and a variety case with mixed berry, strawberry, and lemon-lime. Also got a box of Fat Boy ice cream sandwiches, and they are indeed pretty fat. Nothing remarkable, but the vanilla ice cream is decently rich and thick and it's got the classic chocolate "cookie" that melts to your fingertips. Oh, and the Kirkland trail mix is very good for a trashy trail mix, a good amount of cashews and almonds in the thing. I'm already regretting having the giant bag around, I need to portion this thing out or I'm gonna eat entirely too much in a sitting one day.

AHH F/UGH posted:No because my gas tank isn’t large enough for $50 fills right now and it’s doled out in $25 increments and we have to turn in receipts (people abused it in the past), so if we get gas and it isn’t in some increment of that, we don’t get reimbursed. It’s not tracked in mpg either, we have a program online where we plug in our route and it automatically calculates mileage and whatnot. Our job often has us on the road driving around to customers out in the field (large machinery and farm equipment) so don’t think I don’t understand hot rear end dusty weather either. I make a concerted effort to try and be louder and clearer when I’m asking for these amounts because I don’t want them to gently caress it up. He definitely had to hear me say ‘25’ but didn’t verbally confirm the amount I wanted - but the issue was how he handled it afterwards regardless. If I talked to and blamed my customers’ country drawl or something the way he talked to me for something that I didn’t confirm and just assumed they wanted, my rear end would get Karened on as well. You're just an rear end in a top hat. Gas guy hosed up, but you're an rear end in a top hat

namlosh posted:Wait, is that drurie (probably not even close) fruit or whatever… the one they banned in public spaces? Durian smell is bad but extremely overrated, and I'm assuming it's vacuum sealed pulp so it wouldn't smell unless it's punctured or damaged. Durian is an odd/bad smelling fruit that tastes pretty good if you can get past the smell; it's not objectively horrifying like balut

DeesGrandpa posted:Hey we found the one Costco w liqour in the state. Which Kirkland brand booze do we want You can look up the name brand equivalent for the Kirkland liquors, otherwise the big get is the strawberry and regular margarita mix and the Kirkland hard seltzer, but the hard seltzer is a bit polarizing taste-wise

redreader posted:I hate the unreliability of stock. The Yasso mint choc chip frozen yoghurt bars are amazing but they're there half the time and weren't there today. The bubbies mochi wasn't there today either. I did get mini-pizzas today which weren't there last time. Diaper genie bags were out. etc. Gonna be more and more common I'm afraid, it's not just a Costco thing

Clavavisage posted:New food court peeps at my 'Co might be overcooking the chicken bakes and it is delicious Maybe a new recipe or something? I recently tried a chicken bake again and it's much better than the disappointing chicken bakes from the recent past. The crust was much crisper and the filling generous and saucy, almost like how I remember them from a really long time ago.

Maybe I can contact the manufacturer first... I avoid the issue entirely by laying down some nice Costco parchment paper underneath the rack, mostly to make cleanup easier

CraigSlice posted:Anyone got that ninja 9 in 1 air fryer+everything that is on sale this month? It seems amazing, and I want one I don't have one, but my friend does. It's pretty convenient if you think you'll use more than 2-3 of the functions, it just doesn't do any of them excellently. Definitely good enough though; the only real issue is that it's enormous. Make sure you have the room for it.

I also think the pot pie is just okay. The crust is pretty much the same as the pumpkin pie and it's slightly better than a frozen pot pie, but it's not something that will convince a pot pie hater to change their mind. The ravioli lasagna on the other hand...

Got my hands on this year's chocolates of the world collection and besides the cardboard box being vastly inferior to the previous plastic jar, it's a solid collection this year. And didn't they say where each chocolate came from in the past? The box this year just has a list of names and no indication of what came from where

FogHelmut posted:If they're trying to break me, it's working. I'm willing to move on the $1.50 hot dog price if they bring back deli mustard, onion dispenser, and combo slice. I've given up and taken to home communion. An entire pack of the full size hot dogs is manageable if you just wrap each hot dog individually in a single layer of plastic wrap and toss them in the freezer to pull out as necessary.

GORDON posted:Also will not return to tire center. They put on 3 bad valves on my new set of tires, and a month later charged me $5 each replace them. And then they gave me another bad valve out of the 3 new ones. Went to my local tire guy, and he replaced it quick and cheap, and correctly. Don't be, Costco tire centers are extremely location dependent. If yours sucks, don't feel bad about avoiding them

Inspector 34 posted:My wife walked in as I was typing that last post and vehemently denied hating curries. She reminded me that she does actually cook a thai shrimp curry every once in a while so I guess I should set the record straight there. To all of you here in the Costco thread, my wife does not harbor any ill will toward curry or curry loving cultures. She's also not culinarily cowardly, but her parents are so she never developed a taste for certain things. Well, good thing your wife set us straight then. We will make a note of this.
