reasons not to renew

1. You just never go

The rest of these reasons are trash too. These are problems with the writer. They never go, they're picky, and they're impulsive. Prime member? Amazon prices are garbage and absurdly expensive for basic things.

What's the queue like for Gas at your costco? In my town Costco is the only place that doesn't rip you off on fuel so the queue is always huge.

It was never a problem back in minneapolis. I could drive in and fill up at any time of day or week. It was also on the opposite side of the shopping center, for some reason, so you had to go slightly out of your way to get there. In scottsdale here uhhhh it's real bad, in the costco parking lot, and each of the 10 pumps has at least 4-6 cars in line all the time

I live about 4 hours away from my nearest Costco. We did drop our executive membership as we were only going about 4 times a year and never bought enough to make up the difference vs. Gold Star, but I'll maintain the membership no matter what. Costco's online selection is pretty good and you can get most stuff there for about the same price as the warehouse, perfect for people like me who can't make it to the 'Co on a regular basis.

Hadn't been to the 'tco in at least a month, went today to get a chicken and some brie and swiffers and random stuff.

Saw they had a self serve kiosk table set up, friendly costco employee standing there. But nobody was using it, everyone just standing in line!

Went up and pushed that pizza button, like 30 seconds later dude had my slice of 'a ready. poo poo owns. Costco employee gave me a nod, you got this!

Everyone else: still standing in line.

I~~'m torn on~~ don't think I like the kiosk. It's easier for us, sure. I asked the workers if they liked it and a few of them said it just made a lot more work for them since half the people wander off after they get their ticket and the workers have to yell numbers until the person with the ticket shows up.

Why wouldn't you go right over to the counter and pick up your food?

It also takes up a lot of space in the middle of the former queue area and makes people cluster around and obstruct the way to the counter.

Kirkland double ply is fine for your rear end.

if you take 4 squares and fold them they're on par with charmin in terms of durability. only need one square with charmin. kirkland tp is still like sandpaper. spend the extra two dollars on charmin and your rear end hole will be thankful

there are two kinds of kirkland tp. one sucks, and it's the only one mine carries.

I've never seen Kirkland single ply. Which would be sand paper gas station stuff. I only get the good stuff.

They're both two ply. I used to use kirkland tp in Minneapolis and it was good and relatively soft. Scottsdale costco has a completely different and lovely two ply and it sucks. It's rough, thin, and falls apart the second you wipe. Gotta fold 4 squares to make it usable.

Maybe they have a different supplier for the southwest than the upper midwest. I don't know. I just know it used to be good back there and sucks here. I think the good kind had green plastic packaging and the stuff here is blue plastic. v :shobon:

v also they don't have Summit EPA down here which is loving killing me.

Hummus is super easy to make at home, for anyone wondering. It's worth looking into if you eat a lot of it.

home made beats store bought any day and is really easy to make (if you have a food processor) once you figure out your preferred ratio of tahini to chickpeas. I find that a fixed ratio never really works and it always needs a bi of tweaking to taste, but you can figure out a rough guideline after a few tries. You can also use, uhh, fava beans insetad of chickpeas? I like chickpeas.

Did anyone use the Co to buy a car? I noticed some service is included with membership and just starting to weigh options.

Yes. I think I get some kind of discount on service but I haven't had to do anything to it yet. Honestly I don't know what going through costco got me, and the price wasn't super great so I still haggled it down to about invoice. Invoice price may have been more than power-buyer-wheeler-and-dealer-get-the-best-price guy would settle for, but my car was literally falling apart and I needed a new car asap. The rest of the dealerships were either way extremely overcommunicative leave me the gently caress alone holy poo poo or completely non responsive.

Costco doesn't make the process better in any way. I'm not sure what it does. It still loving sucks buying a car and dealing with dealership price caginess and haggling bullshit.

e: found this in my email. I don't know if it's a one time coupon or a permanent thing, or if they cycle and give you new coupons.

I tried, but the sales guy at the Costco specific dealer was so terrible that I went elsewhere.

Yeah. You're still dealing with car salespeople. Theoretically Costco hand selects dealers but who knows. Costco only had this one Honda dealership in their directory. The rest of the dealerships nearby loving sucked and were lovely so maybe they do hand pick.

As an autismal goon I don't like people hawking their wares at me when I walk through the 'co. Right now they've got a guy selling solar panels, and another guy selling blinds or window treatments. Being forced to converse with another human being against my will really detracts from the 'co experience. Now if you'll excuse me I will just enter this sensory deprivation tank to destress.

deeply southern accent "Would anyone want to have cleaner, better water in your home?!" shouted multiple times, every time I walk out. As irritating for us as it is, she must be real tired of having to hawk that same line at hundreds of disinterested people every day.

There's another guy in a low key cowboy getup that looks just like ... what's his face, cowboy actor guy with a really deep voice. poo poo. I don't remember any movies he's been in. Anyways. I don't know what he sells. He's never said anything that I've heard, just hangs out at the receipt line sales area next to all the others.

Costco has failed me twice today.

One, how can they not have sherpa pants to go with the sherpa hoodie? I need my bottom to be toasty too.

Two, ECLIPSE ABSOLUTE ZERO TOTAL BLACKOUT curtains are not blackout curtains. The defining feature of blackout curtains is that they're completely opaque to block 100% of the light and black out the room. These are like tissue paper, actually has tiny pinprick holes in the fabric so light streams in through my shaded afternoon backyard.

I'm having a crisis of faith :negative:

Eclipse has been having "didn't put the blackout layer on these blackout curtains" issues.

I went back to a (non-Costco) store to pick up an extra panel a couple months ago and the whole loving inventory had been defected back to the manufacturer. Which was good, because the ones I'd already bought were also not-blackout ECLIPSE ABSOLUTE ZERO TOTAL BLACKOUT curtains.

They make such nice curtains when they're actually made properly!

The grommets were too bulky to fit my curtain rod and the dimensions on the package were wrong, too. Not as wide or tall as stated. rip

So real good suction and build quality. The ability to turn it into a handheld hose vacuum is real great for my apartment with little nooks all over.

However the floor brush has really protruding brushes and just rips into the carpet too much. Like the motor bogs down swiping at the carpet fibers. Maybe just a few uses will soften up the brushes a bit.

That said yeah pretty good and better than my old POS knockoff dyson.

Turns out, is good. It sucks good. I hucked my $30 dust devil into the loving garbage. A good vacuum is worth some money. Not Miele money, I don't think, but shark money sure.

My floors are clean. My carpets are clean loving hell there was a lot of construction debris and poo poo hiding in them. They sure looked clean. They weren't.
