Kelp Me! posted:Ok so I'm trying to justify the cost of just owning up and buying my own drat membership. The thing is, meat and cheeses and produce are great but it's just me and my wife and even supermarket produce has a tendency to go bad because we wait too long. So I'm trying to compile a list of non-perishables that justify the membership cost. So far I've got: coffee and alcohol

Prokhor Zakharov posted:it's not a long story, I was in line to return a bookcase when the woman at the front of the line just blew up. she was shouting and screaming at the Costco lady behind the counter about how they had to take the return, you can't terminate my account, I'll sue you, etc. The receipt checker (a fat old guy) ran over saying that he was calling the cops to make her leave. she stormed out screaming and cussing at everyone. I'm not giving up my spot in the receipt check line

Pennywise the Frown posted:My ex-wife and I went to Cape Canaveral with her parents and her dad was doing this. This was loving NASA and we're driving around looking for a close spot in a gigantic empty parking lot. I wanted to loving strangle the life out of his stupid loving smug Tom Wilkinson looking face.That was probably one of the high points of my life though. They should have put me on one of those leashes for kids cause I was like little school girl at a Back Street Boys concert or whoever is popular now. My protocol for finding parking spots: take the first open spot you see Girlfriend’s protocol. Head directly to the spot closest to the store. Find that it is occupied and act surprised. Check every spot in order of increasing distance until you find an open one (this takes at least 15 mins which I could spend eating a dang dog)

the only sample faux pas is if you take multiple samples when other people are obviously waiting in line

FogHelmut posted:Renewed my executive membership with my dividend check, this poo poo pays for itself. I find that my checks basically make up the difference between getting an executive membership vs. getting a basic membership every year, so I stick with the executive.

Peachfart posted:Costco puts the most popular stuff(dairy, chickens, etc) in the back of the store so that people will browse and purchase much more than expected. Offering pre-order removes most of what makes Costco work. People always say this about grocery stores but I don't know if it's true. Prepared foods: obviously your prep area is going to be in the back/side of the store. Dairy: people have to go in there and stock it, so again, it has to go in the back.

Spoondick posted:You'll almost always find dairy and produce on opposite sides of a store so people getting common items have to walk through the majority of the store to get them both those items need to be kept cold, so it makes sense to put them at the side of the store. After you account for the front of the store which is taken up by the entrance and checkout, there's really only 3 sides to put those kind of things at.

Check this out, Safeway doesn’t design their stores around your predilections for apples and yoghurt, they design them around how they can take deliveries and keep stock most efficiently. The notion that grocery stores are playing a 3rd dimensional chess game is consumer narcissism. No more, no less. It’s Ahab screaming at a mindless animal.
