All the new buildings are pretty cookie-cutter with indoor food courts. Its the older, repurposed warehouses that have a bit of character. 401 San Diego is a converted plane hanger. Outdoor food court also. 006 Southcenter has train tracks in the floor (Also the biggest warehouse so includes a business delivery) etc Also, I will eat a sample if it is something I actually want to sample, or cheese because I loving love cheese. Plus, I always say thank you.

Math You posted:Congrats to St. John's, Newfoundland on your new warehouse. The largest in Canada! They built an extra 30,000 sqft and are using the space to stock more wholesale items. It's a sort of Costco + business center hybrid. If you are in IT, then I probably know you also. St. Johns is probably the equivalent of the Tukwila 06 store. It originally had the Food Factory, but that was converted into a quasi BC/Furniture area. It's cool that they are designing new buildings with that idea going forward.

I work for Costco and go to the warehouse 2-3 times a week so don't usually get excited about something. But I just found that they are selling 2 packs of the Don Pancho Cilantro Lime Crema bottles in the deli. The same crema they use for the street tacos. Oh hell yes.

Taima posted:Wait what? Where do they sell it? Is this at certain stores or what? They'll have to make it cheap to match the price of delicious crema at a mexican market, but for the convenience it could be worth it at a higher price. I didn't get a pic but its $7.79 for 2 16oz bottles. Only a 2 month shelf life though.

Sometimes oddball website and/or old returns will show up and get placed the appropriate aisle. Those usually get the single price label stuck to them. I noticed at the Issaquah store those usually get a .00 price label. No set location though. Look for .00, .97 or the asterisks.

Stink Billyums posted:they just opened a costco in china, and if you've ever been around mainland bargain shoppers it went about how you'd expect I talked to the person in International support who handles China, it was just as much of a shitshow as the videos show. Costco stock went up $14 though so yay go my 401k!

I can confirm that the majority of corp employees are wfh now. Not sure about travel. Gonna be interesting when this slows down though as wfh was a big no-no before. Went to 2 warehouses yesterday, Issaquah and Tukwila. Was really impressed how both were dealing with store member counts, inventory signs, and social distancing. Issaquah had an employee out front standing on pallets with a bullhorn extolling the benefits of social distancing. It felt like the Costco version of the washy-washy guy on a cruise.

I like how the bidet hits *just right* sometimes and I feel like I am getting the full service wash, wax and check the oil down there. Also, have had mine for a year now and still say "Fire!" when I press the button.

Wearing the mask shows you are taking this poo poo seriously even though it may be limited help. Its my "get the gently caress away from me" sign. Been wearing my RZ woodworking mask. Only charcoal and not N95, but its much more comfortable and I can wash the cover each time I go out. (which has been twice in 3 weeks)

FYI, they are moving most Travel folks over to the membership and Ecom call centers. Granted everyone is still wfh but there should be a few more reps online. So 3.5 hour wait down to 3 hours!

The thing fucks up in load balancing, displaying prices, and logging me out always I'm so close to replying... Anyways, I can say that even in this environment, there are multiple openings in Costco Ecom support and QA. Both management and analyst.

This is from my trip to a UK food court 3 years ago. The double breasted sandwich was awesome. There are currently Costcos in the UK, Spain, France, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, China, Mexico, and Iceland.

I bought a 58" Vizio 4k UHD ($299) and the Yamaha sound bar($99) for $420 otd from Costco last month. The tv wont hold wifi settings, so I have been using a PS4. Works great that way.

Enos Cabell posted:I don't believe I've ever seen a sous vide device at Costco, which is fairly surprising. I've been super happy with my Anova Nano, and despite the name it's handled everything up to a 16lb turkey with ease. They had one last year but it sold out in my warehouse in maybe 3 days. It might've been a roadshow. $99 if I remember right.

KakerMix posted:Costco's 'mask required' policy has made me even more of a die-hard Costco member than ever before. I'm sure they know this. I can confirm that the video of the guy back east giving the manager poo poo and then losing his cart is making the rounds at Corporate. So far approval has been 100% behind the manager, to the point of us saying that should be a training video on how to handle mask issues. No response from upper management but the rank and file approve and support masks.

schreibs posted:I can understand the desire to not commit career suicide but I doubt anyone is going to track you down on somethingawful.com. There are a few coworkers here. I know them and they know me. I will say that the priorities are better understood now. When I was doing Ecom 3 years ago growth happened faster than management could keep up. Costco has never been known as the fore front of tech. What will help massively is the Innovel acquisition. That will bring most if not all delivery and install in house. Also, once they bring the Oklahoma office online, that will be dedicated purely for Ecom support.

Thats an industry wide process. Much easier to have the manufacturer ship to home than have middle men warehouse it. Costco likes to clear the floor in the main Distribution Centers each night and large stuff makes that difficult. The Innovel DCs will be more dropship bigger stuff.
