That's par for the course when you do DC and warehouse work though, the fact that I had to get up at 3am to deliver paper products to three different Costco stores 90 miles apart by 6:30am doesn't mean they're a selfish evil company, just means that a lot of stuff needs to happen 24/7.

Price Club and Costco merged in, what, '90 or so? Before that, they were two separate entities that felt exactly the same when you were inside. I know there was a Price Club near me in ~'86, and even then it was always packed.

uli2000 posted:A normal personal Costco account can have 2 card, they are good not only in the US but in other Costco locations around the world (UK, Canada, Mexico, Japan, maybe a few others). If you get a business account, you get 2 ppl for free for the membership fee, then each additional 2 cards is an extra $20/yr. Me and my wife used to be on my parents' business membership before they dropped it and went to a personal card, and we lived in a different state from them. To get added though you have to go in with one of the primary card holders to authorize you on the account. IDK if you have to have a legit business or can just go in and say I'm a sole proprietership and get a business membership tho. When I got my Costco Business card, I had to show them my state seller's permit.

Detective No. 27 posted:Went shopping at Costco a few months ago and there was only a thirty cent difference between the Kirkland regular toilet paper and the Charmin ultra soft two-ply with twice as many rolls. It was amazing. One day you'll realize it's because they just wrap Charmin really loosely on the spool so it 'feels soft', which means you get less paper and the rolls don't last near as long.

Tato posted:every GBS thread degenerates into poop discussion. I can understand why so many goons want the extra sensitive TP or baby wipes since according to the work thread, 99% of them have hot, burning diarrhea at work multiple times per day due to diet/heavy drinking You're forgetting about the percentage of them who abuse opiates and poo poo rock-hard chunks of fossilized excrement, sometimes having to resort to various helpful implements. After that sort of experience, I can understand the desire for baby wipes.

I might be a spendthrift here, but I'm not going all the way to another store for saltine crackers. What are they, 15cents cheaper than Winco? Winco for most poo poo, Trader Joes for hippie dippie frozen meals, call it a day.

KakerMix posted:I dunno I just picked up a 95 Lexus SC300 for 6gs, and it requires premium. The SC's are the only Lexus I would own, although it's getting hard to find one that's not all hosed up. My old Northstar Eldorado ETC took premium as well.(I am also an old white man) To contribute to this octane derail, pretty much all later-model cars have knock sensors these days, so if your vehicle calls for premium and you don't use it, you generally won't hear it knocking and pinging like the old days, although it'll be somewhat down on power and fuel economy.

Meydey posted:FYI It's all Kimberley-Clark On the West Coast, at least, Kirkland is all made by Georgia-Pacific. Source: I used to haul it from the paper mills in Halsey, Oregon all the way to San Diego, Winnipeg, Grand Prairie(B.C.) and all points in between. Delivering freight to Costco is almost as nice as buying poo poo there - unlike 90% of receivers, their unloading people and managers are competent, quick and personable. I could deliver paper products to three Costcos in one city in like three hours. Only downside is that they get all their deliveries before the stores open, so you can't pop inside and grab a dog.
