Costco 4 life yo. I see a lot of talk about the blessed Hot Dog and 20oz soda (with free refills) but I have yet to see mention of Costco Shrimp Cocktail. It's not as cheap as it used to be but still mighty delicious. My pro move is to get a dog for lunch and pick up a Shrimp Cocktail to save for dinner.

Costco Employee Stories on ImjurA faithful administer of Costo's love posted:Working in returns at costco will probably make you the most spiteful person in the whole drat warehouse. You will meet some of the nastiest, shameless most smug people on the planet. Some guy had the balls to return a mattress that he had purchased years ago. Normally something like this would be exagerated, but his mattress was tinted loving orange. poo poo was practically color coded with all the poo poo that went down on that filthy thing. It stank, it was gross to look at and I was not touching it. I gave him two mattress bags and told him to wrap that thing the gently caress up before it came anywhere near the counter. A woman tried to return a camera that she had bought about a year ago. We have a VERY generous return policy being 90 days to bring electronics back. After that, you're on your own. She wanted the updated Nikon camera she had purchased a year ago for the newest model. We denied her and she was up in arms. Tears, yelling and rage. She had claims of calling this warehouse and speaking to some woman who had never worked here, but didn't even have proof of calling any Costco warehouse in the area. After about 20 minutes of this, a manager came over and gave her the full refund. the smug look on her face made me want to drop kick her right into traffic. What is worse, an unbeliever? Or someone who abuses the privilege of Costco?

Richard M Nixon posted:After reading all the Costco hot dog talk, I picked up stuff to make my own dogs last week. Brioche buns, organic grass fed uncured dogs, house-made relish, and organic stone ground mustard - about $30 for 8 dogs, but it was good. You could have had 20 1/4 lb dogs (that's 5 whole pounds) with 20 20oz sodas (that's over 3 gallons)with refills for that much money if you would have just accepted Costco into your heart instead of trafficking with blasphemers at Whole Foods. IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR YOUR SOUL

I once ran an event at work and we decided we wanted hot dogs, we called up the local 'co and asked if we could order 50 dogs and drinks, they said sure, just give us an hour. Tastiest and Cheapest event we ever did. PBUC

Maybe it prevents the riffraff from taking all the free samples from those of us who are among the chosen. I got the executive membership one year, and it didn't turn out to be worth it, so I downgraded but they didn't give me a new card.

Braved the pre-holiday Costco, place was packed but I managed to get a parking spot in the very back. Among other things I picked up some dog food (my dog goes crazy for the costco canned dog food) and some canned pineapple. Checking out they're double teaming the registers to handle the crowds, one clerk reads the items in my cart while the other scans them. "Two dog food and two pineapples" she says, the guy scans the two dog food cases and then scans pineapples from a card on the wall, the register says "Golden pine 2.99" I realized they rang me up for two fresh pineapples instead of two cases of canned pineapple... If I was a dirty heathen shopping at a Walton establishment I might have kept quiet and pocketed the 12 bucks. But no, you don't steal from the collection plate, I pointed it out to the clerk, he corrected it, thanked me and I was on my way. Costco Karma earned I rewarded myself with a most sacred berry smoothie to go with my quarter pound all beef dog. PBUC

InternetJunky posted:I am white, my wife is East Indian. I was unloading our shopping cart for checkout so I gave my wife my Costco card to give to the cashier. Cashier, after checking the photo on the card, launches into a huge spiel about how my wife can't use someone else's Costco card. When my wife points out that the card belongs to me (still unloading at the time), cashier gets even more exasperated saying "he's not allowed to buy stuff for you on his card either." She went into a huge speech about how she'll get in trouble if she allows this and "she's sick and tired of dealing with people like you" and honestly I don't remember everything because I was a bit stunned by the exchange. Finally I asked if she gave all married couples this hard of a time when shopping together and she shut up and finished ringing everything up. I saw an exchange like this in front of me in line once, the cashier was making a big deal because the married couple didn't have the same last name on their card.

On the topic of Costco gas. Ever notice that the Costco pumps seem to run a lot faster than your typical filling station pumps? I read somewhere it's because Costco changes the filters on the pumps twice as often as required, so it flows with less restriction and is cleaner as well. PBUC

When i lived in Irvine the Costco there had a one armed guy checking receipts. He was remarkably quick, grab the receipt, check your cart, tuck the receipt under his chin, mark it and hand it back. Also when I lived in Irvine I was two miles from three different churches. Almost made it worth living there.

I've done costco cookies, those sanders caramels that are on sale, the chocolate and coconut covered nuts (that arent carried anymore)... The brownie bites.

Mo_Steel posted:The only person I will not acknowledge as a true follower are those who do not return their carts to the corrals in the parking lot. Even people eating samples mid-aisle I will begrudgingly accept. But not that. You take the sacrament, you enjoy the good deals, and then you can't walk 20 feet to put the cart in the corral? A shameful act. As my father, a 35 year veteran grocery clerk always said, "there are two type of people in this world, those that return their cart after shopping, And those that will die and burn in hell." Also if ketchup wasn't meant for dogs, then why would the church provide it for us in a convenient pump?

binge crotching posted:Pretty sure the French Kirkland vodka is made by Grey Goose anyway, so you're really not going to be able to tell the difference. The story of Grey Goose is that a marketing guy saw how much Absolte was selling for and thought "I can do that" so he found some failing bourbon distilleries in France and partnered with them to make his super expensive vodka. So unless someone else has started distilling vodka in France, Kirkland brand is Grey Goose.

Yup, I used to live near the E in Woodbridge. It was like being in at the convergence of ley lines. Good Dog posted:Where was that? Like ICD and Culver? I've never been to the Costco at Tustin Marketplace, I always go to the one a whole TWO MILES away from it at The District. Looking at google maps I realize they're both about the same distance from my office but I think the district one is more convenient since its further from the 5. The one on Barranca is 3 miles away so it might as well be on another planet. The one at Marketplace is the oldest one, it's a little on the small size and parking sucks, the Irvine one is nice but a pain to get in and out of.But the one at The District is the best, they have it all, it's the nicest Costco I've ever been to. I think the District Costco was supposed to replace the Marketplace one, but evidently there was enough reason to keep it open. Now I live in Hollywood which is like a Costco desert, I have to drive all the way to Glendale to get my dogs.
