They're a giant warehouse. Pretty barebones looks to it. No fake wood floors, no fancy lighting. Just polished concrete and florescent tubing. One by my house has a deli but no bakery. Carries a couple brands of each item ...
You bag your own groceries and they don't take credit cards (that might have changed recently?) but the prices are darn good. Employees own a majority of the company and some of the old time employees have company stock worth $1m+

Sounds like communism to me

When I host parties, my go to is the Costco sliced cheese platter with the Carr's crackers, and a crockpot of those pineapple chicken meatballs. Oh, and I make my own hummus with one of those #10 cans of chickpeas.

Oh, and I always get 1 or 2 roast chickens for my poker games. It grosses me out a little, but people LOVE to pick at them with hands, even after they've been sitting out for 4 hours.

Sounds like a good way to ruin your cards

Nothing is exactly wrong. Costco glasses are good, good warrenty; however, their actual impact and importance has gone down over the last 10 years. They were great back in the 90s to late 00s because the competition was $400 Luxotica monopoly bullshit and getting a pair for like $150-200 was a great deal then. It's less so now because you can actually get super high quality glasses online for like <$50. Costco still has some advantages for glasses like trying them on first, or fittings (it's not hard to do yourself). If that's worth it, that's up to you to decide if the additional $$ is worth it. I personally feel like no.

I still do my eye exam at Costco because it's like $45 (tho the wait list can be pretty bad).

gently caress Luxxotica so much

They are a lovely company and their chairman is the stereotypical oily italian arm-twister and they suck

You should start with a photo of yourself. Draw some glasses on there looking the way you want. Then look for glassednthat match

That looks like a Costco version of a Cinnabon tray. No wonder people liked it, even though I'm sure it's just as unhealthy for you as Cinnabon.

Heh, like I care it's unhealthy. I just wanna stick my face in that tray.

Hopefully Costco has the decency to use real butter instead of margarine

Thw fake butter flavor makes me hate Cinnabon

Driving up to Mammoth on Saturday (!) and wow theres not even one Costco north of the San Gabriel and east of the Sierra Nevada mountain ranges. Looks like its time to find some mom-n-pop gas stations to patronize.

Just stock up your car beforehand, duh

The old chicken bakes had green onions and also way more dressing inside they were real good. The current bakes are ok but not as good

Chicken bakes in their current incarnation are kinda gross. They should reformulate them minus the Caesar dressing and use ranch instead. Add some bacon bits too if they want to take it to Flavortown.

They already have bacon

That poo poo is super high in fiber and great if your digestive tract can deal with it. Mine cannot, sadly.

It just takes time for your microbiota to adjust. Keep at it!

Sadly we don’t get fries in America from Costco. It is forsaking us for that

I think some do. Maybe new Jersey?
