Is there such a thing as 'special orders' for Costco? Like I would love to buy more variety of Coke products than they carry.

If by that you mean you'd like to get a case of each of them, sure!

See my edit above...the only sugar free options they have are Diet Coke and (sometimes) Diet Dr. Pepper. I wish I could buy more types rom them.

Yes I know Dr. Pepper isn't Coke but it's often distributed by Coke in my area.

On topic: My church has food on the left and I got a dog and two drinks yesterday. One came with the dog and the other was free from the guy ahead of me who said drinking Pepsi products was immoral and he didn't want it :shrug:

Ditto on the Pepsi angle. I wish they'd let you swap the drink for something else...maybe get a berry smoothie for an extra dollar or something.

I'm currently sitting in one of those chairs right now. Here's my quick review:

Pro: very comfortable for long-term sitting, working, gaming
Con: back mechanism began squeaking loudly after about a year when leaning back in the chair, requiring silicone lubricant spray about once a month to keep it silent

It was worth the price and I'd definitely buy it again.

Yeah, I was hemming and hawwing coming in the door about whether to buy. Being on sale for $79 was the closer. Easy to assemble and very comfortable, would buy again.

Does Costco typically stock yeast? I went to find some yesterday but I didn't see any, but I've never bought any at Costco before. I thought I remembered seeing some at some point.

At my church it's usually on the same aisle as the vanilla. It's been in stock pretty consistently over the last three trips.

Filled up my cart at my local 'Co today. TP yes but paper towels were a no. Also out of nitrile gloves and Nutella (oddly enough). Good distancing and none of the crazy of March.

Meat was...different. No ground beef and the only steaks were prime. The only fresh chicken was breasts, no drumsticks or other cuts. They seemed to be covering up the holes in the meat case with stuff I'd never seen before...I got some smoked ham (not the big spiral ham) and some nitrate free beef keilbasa.

No receipt check, had to eat my dog in the car...it felt weird.

Dear Costco thread, I never thought it would happen to me, but today I was blessed by the incompetence of Costco.com. After a bit of worry about the upcoming collapse of society, I ordered a 30 day supply of emergency food. It was backordered and expected to take a few weeks to get. Lo! It came in about a week! And now only two days later, a second package has arrived with another bucket! If I survive an emergency on that second bucket it will truly be a miracle from Kirkland.

Check...they may have charged you twice. It's happened to me.

Add me to the pile of people who think Costco's website/e-commerce operation sucks rear end. I ordered a laptop for warehouse pickup, had a confirmation number, was told to expect an email when it was available for pickup at the warehouse. Fast forward a few days and I get an email about how my order was cancelled without explanation. Try to call and get it worked out, it refers me back to the website which has no helpful answers. Call customer support and the system tells me there's a 94 minute hold time to talk to a rep.

gently caress. THAT. Yes, I can shop elsewhere but dammit I was needing this for my kid's school first of next week.

Yes! I just came here to post about this. Whole pork loin is $8 off per pkg (so a typical one is $4) and whole ny prime loin is $25 off. I think that sale ends on the 30th.

It's the first time I've ever doorbusted Costco. Showed up bright and early, just in the time I was grabbing other stuff half that beef disappeared!
