Wait, not everyone has a Costco membership? Why? Why would you not worship at the greatest altar to capitalism ever created?

My favorite thing about Costco is that I don't have to care about shopping. Its not like when I go to the grocery store for spaghetti sauce, and have 30 different options at various prices and most of them are probably garbage. At Costco I have 1-2 options, and I know they are good and cheap because Costco only sells good stuff.

Kelp Me! posted:OTOH shopping at Costco for anything remotely perishable takes some thought. Am I going to be able to use a gallon-sized spaghetti sauce jar before it goes bad? Spaghetti sauce freezes very well, so yes, you can.

A company that offers quality stuff at good prices that pays and treats its employees well is such a rare loving thing that I'm okay with a little corporate worship.

Walmart is learning from Costco, 2 years ago they boosted employee wages and benefits and almost immediately saw increased customer satisfaction and cleaner stores. It's almost like if you give employees a reason to care, you get better results.

binge crotching posted:Yes, but only in the 5 gallon pail. It's one aisle over from the 25 lb bag of rice. The funny part is that most people's impressions of Costco are stuck in the late 90's, when massive bulk buckets of goods were most of what they sold. In modern times they usually sell bulk by bundling multiple packages that you could buy from the regular grocery store, and a large amount of their inventory isn't sold in bulk. If you want the true old school Costco experience, go visit a Business Costco.

Everyone here in the PNW knows Costco is a privilege, not a right, and acts accordingly. I have seen many rear end in a top hat customers in my life but never there. Edit- And the Kirkland Costco has terrible parking.

Over There posted:Thinking about getting a membership... If you aren't sure, go there and tell the greeter you are thinking about getting a membership. They will let you in, no problem. And take some time and wander down the aisles and see all the cool poo poo you can buy for cheap, grab a few samples, then a dog(1.50 for an all beef dog and drink!). Then go grab your membership.

"With AmEx, Costco was paying about 0.6% per transaction, Bloomberg reported. Now, it’s paying less than 0.4%, according to the article. That’s much lower than the 2% to 3% fees many stores pay." - some dumb website Costco pays basically nothing by going with Visa, and those savings are passed down to me. Praise be to Costco.

TBeats posted:I am not hip to Costco and went with someone else who is a member and I had to go back home and get my Visa Credit fees are a huge cost for a business. Making an extra 2% on each transaction means that 1.50 1/4 lb all beef hot dogs can continue to be cheap and wonderful. And who leaves credit cards at home? Don't you own a wallet?

old.flv posted:does costco carry something I could bring into work for lunch? like some microwaveable bowl or something? I buy these for work, I recently bought a delicious frozen ramen with hunks of meat and real veggies and a smart bowl that is really good and filled with beans and quinoa and veggies and salsa. But that is the tip of the iceberg, they have tons of items that can work for lunches.

(though I wasn't a huge fan of the Udon, it wasn't bad by any stretch) Just go walk down the frozen isle and grab what looks good. It will usually run you about 2 bucks a meal.

The only time is is wrong to return stuff to Costco is if you thoroughly use the item and just return it past any reasonable expectation of the product being faulty. Like if you buy jeans, wear them 50 times, and return them a year later. Otherwise if a product sucks, return it. How else will Costco know what is good?

I seem to make it about a month or so before I can't deal with the crazy brain stuff and then start drinking again to slow everything back down. I'll get back on track very soon. If you have a drinking problem, there is no amount of alcohol that is okay to have.
