I caught up on like 20 pages of this thread and immediately left to go to Costco to get a dog and do some 4th of July cookout shopping. My Costco is new and about 10 minutes away from both work and home. PBUC, brothers and sisters.

limpy wimpy posted:They just added tape down to show people that they should form a snake line to get the counter. gently caress that lets just get in one LONG 60+ person line and ignore the poor employee trying to herd you assholes into a semblance of order. The tape is not that loving hard to get right but no one does it at my costco either. Not as bad a transgression as bringing your loving cart tho

Today I bought a couch which I thought would fit in the car but absolutely didn't so a friend with a truck saved us. Its a sweet leather power recliner, last one they had boxed up. On the way in had a dog and a slice of pizza, currently feeling like gastrointestinal Icarus. Praise be unto Costco.

Dr. Tim Whatley posted:Kirkland pulled pork is now a weekly stable in the fridge. I'm lazy and it's good. Just another tip for y'all from the Doc! The one time I got it, it didn't really free itself up from being One Huge Brick of Pork when I heated it up. Any ideas? Taste was alright but texture totally lacking.

I went to the 'stco for lunch today, got gas & took communion but forgot the onions this time so feeling sort of unfulfilled. Praise be.

Bro Dad posted:Gonna go to my local costco in florida and take pictures of all the extremely panicky shoppers I made the mistake of going yesterday to the new one in Orlando which has TERRIBLE traffic design (one traffic light to get out, one right turn lane and one left+straight no dedicated left turn - green for maybe 20 seconds) and pulling into the lot about gave me a panic attack with how many goddamn cars there were all gridlocked up. It ended up taking 45 minutes to just drive through the parking lot and get back out. I just wanted a dog & to witness the madness for a little while!

The za is great if it's crispy, otherwise just good. Thankfully you never have to worry about taking a risk on the dog

Hackan Slash posted:In the middle. It's extremely good for the price, but not as good as the Aeron. It also depends on your height/weight. If you need an Aeron C the Costco will be less comfortable. I recommend craigslisting a used aeron.

The Slack Lagoon posted:How is Costco furniture? They have a nice looking sectional for 800 I'm happy with a leather couch & some end tables we bought about a half-year ago. No issues, very comfy and only spend like $1k across all of it.

Brothers and sisters I redeemed my rewards today, $420 cash, and bought some ribeye caps, a bunch of wine, and enough toilet paper for the two of us for the next six months. I didn't get a dog because it was very busy and I needed to get my steaks home but I get to go all the time for lunch during the work week so not a huge loss. PBUC.

Xaris posted:man costco does not stock any loving mediums. They had some really comfy pullovers, but it was just chock full of L, XL, XXL. i wish they would stock a lot less of those since apparently no one buys them Dog first next time.

My costco's beer selection caters to international tourists, which is to say they ONLY have big brands (bud, bug light, coors, corona, heiniken, etc.) plus the Kirkland Light and Craft beer, the latter of which sucks. It all sucks.

Big Grunty Secret posted:Is Kirkland Light actually drinkable? My friends who drink PBR and Miller High Life turn down the 'Stco beer. I think it's fine, true sign of a fool is to drink poo poo beer and be picky about it.

1500quidporsche posted:I want a new rule where if after three minutes you are unable to get the pump to dispense gas at Costco you're told to go to the back of the line and try again. I swear to god it's like an unsolvable Rubik's cube for some people. One day someone tried to cut me off from leaving by going THE OPPOSITE WAY to loop around because they pulled up to the pump on the wrong side. Willing to completely gently caress up the line and flow of the gas station area just to save themselves a minute or two fixing their own mistake. Heretics!

Even if there's a loss prevention aspect to it, everyone's nice and it's generally not a bother. The people who attend to their carts like a ragtag band of criminals are trying to execute a grocery heist are far worse, IMO. Get that poo poo out of the food court line.

Suxpool posted:The Kirkland merino wool trail socks are $5 off (original price $18 down to $13) for a 6 pack on costco.com right now. For anyone that wears boots regularly for work or just because you're a big tough rugged guy this is a fantastic deal. All the recent reviews seem to indicate a style/quality change for the worse. Bummer.

Orvin posted:Anyone have experience buying appliances through Costco? I am specifically looking for a new washer and dryer in the near future. Are the delivery/install crews actual Costco employees, or are they contracted out? I bought most of my appliances through CostCo (washer + dryer a few years ago, kitchen remodel last year) and the delivery/install service has always been good, if 3rd party.

The Slack Lagoon posted:Anyone feed their dog the Kirkland dog foods? My new pup seems to have an issue with grains and the Kirkland foods are grain free but before I buy a huge bag I want to see how other folks like the food. Have been for years, it's great high-quality dog food for a price that justifies having a membership by itself.

thathonkey posted:my favorite tonic is Jack Rudy Cocktail Co's it's fuckin amazing but i dont really know where to buy it regularly and it is pricey. I usually just get the grocery store brand but if costco has fever tree ya boy is about to go next level on g&t's this season I get the tonic syrup and make it with my soda stream. I agree, it’s great.

I think it’s justification enough to enjoy using nice hardware that lasts for many years vs. the min spec for the task that’ll fall apart with normal use & choke on the very occasional resource-intensive task. Also not sure foisting ChromeOS on your unsuspecting loved ones is a great idea, especially for a work use case.
