I’m here right now. They’re only selling hot dogs and plain pizza. Pizza only by the whole pie, no slices.

Most condiments for the dogs missing. Just ketchup and mustard.

I feel like for every 2 hundo you spend, a loving communion should be assumed and provided for free.

A certain kind of person would see $197 in their cart and decide to spend $24 more dollars on another box of protein shakes just to get that free dog.

DID YOU GET THE FREE REFILL?

What is the situation with the condiments?

Why does Costco not have lids for sodas? Drives me nuts. I’m very spill prone.

I used to sell bidets online. Hard to go wrong with the Swash 1000 or BioBidet BB-2000. If you don’t have an elongated bowl I would definitely spend the $120 and upgrade your toilet before getting a bidet seat / washlet.

The healthcare workers skip the line thing is interesting. I'm supposed to be able to use my hospital ID to skip the line but I'm scared to try it cause just clean the kitchens and break areas. I'm always afraid I'll show them my ID and they'll laugh at me for being a janitor and wanting to skip the line. Also I kind of like standing in line because you really get to have fabulously weird conversations with people that way.

I tried a pumpkin pie and hated it a lot. The one I got was utterly flavorless and the crust was soggy even after I put it through the oven. Did I get a bad pie, or are they usually very bland and under-spiced?

I've only had good experience with tires there. They do what I ask, call if they need authorization for more work, and hold appointments. They also took care of me for a tire repair and rotations are included, they didn't hassle me about the frequency or anything. Of course I run two sets of tires anyway so the seasonal swap and rotations line up pretty well.

I have gotten discounts or markdowns at other tire shops but I get they don't do that. Seems weird to mark that as a complaint that a corporation won't haggle with you.

Plus it seems like every brand goes on sale every other month so if they have a tire you like it can be had for a good price.

I have winter tires (on rims) that I put on for snow season. Last time I needed new all weather tires I bought them at Costco, everything went fine, they put my winter tires in the back. The next fall I make an appointment to have my tires swapped and learned when they got my car into the bay that they would not put the winter tires on because I didn't buy them from Costco.

I told them I understood it wouldn't be free or anything, but I needed them swapped and I wasn't ready to buy new winter tires. Nope, there was no price I could pay to have them put the winter tires on.

Just a really weird restriction, essentially if you don't buy eight tires from them at once you can't use their tire shop for seasonal swaps. The rep said it was a new rule in 2019 or something.

Also, they don't even stock tires for my van at all.

Like the car buying service, it’ll get you a pretty good rate/discount with no fuss. They’ll cut some servicing fees just because you’re a Costco member and the rate is usually pretty good.

That said, you can do better doing all the work/research yourself. It’s just a matter of personal preference. Your future mortgage will likely be sold to a major bank shortly afterwords anyways.

I got the Samsung Galaxy Tablet A this week for $100. 64 GBs of storage is just nuts. https://www.costco.com/samsung-galaxy-8%22-tab-a-wi-fi-tablet-32gb---silver---includes-bonus-32gb-microsd-card.product.100511016.html

It has been pretty nice. I mostly use it to watch videos while working or doing chores. It has lasted 8+ hours on a single charge. I got it on Thursday and I'm still on my first charge. It also decent enough to play hearthstone which is a pretty big resource hog so I imagine it can handle most applications.

It's just another store like Costco/Sam's Club.

I've never been to Sam's club but BJ's is fine. They have a better selection of name brand items and you have more options for specific goods, but overall there's less variety, if that makes any sense?

When I walk to isles of Costco, I end up filling my cart with way too many impulse purchases of poo poo I've never seen before but looks good. BJ's just doesn't do that to me. But can buy things like ring dings, and have different choices between brands of peanut butter, three different choices of flavor for babybel cheeses, and there's a Deli section which is cool. You want diapers? Pampers, Huggies, and Luvs, in every size, and multiple brands of wipes. But you're not going to walk down the freezer isle like a kid in a candy store buying random poo poo that looks good, you have what you would expect to find in a grocery store in bigger quantities.

Bakery sucks rear end too.

gently caress samples.
They allow the worst people at Costco to affect everyone else in an asymmetric way.
You ever hear some old white dude immediately just start yelling "SHES STEALING MY CART, SHES STEALING MY CART"? I have, because my wife dared to move his cart he just left in the middle of the goddamn aisle, sideways, for a sample 10 feet away.

Costco rules, their customers in my very white, old area are poo poo from a butt.

I've never had a negative experience with samples, only with the people crowding the sample areas and causing log jams. I just want to get by and grab my box of CTC and there are 30 people standing around trying an Oreo like it is the first time they've ever heard of a cookie.

Kirkland Signature Golden Margarita ready-to-drink is fuckin' good. I legit fixed my ice maker just to enjoy the poo poo out of this bottle.

If it's possible at all, I would say you'd have to contact Barcalounger about it, I doubt Costco would be able to help you with that. They have what they have and that's it. If Barcalounger can help you, you would probably have to go through a huge hassle of buying it from Costco and then sending Barcalounger the pieces you don't need and they send you back the right ones.

Hopefully I'm wrong about that and there is a much simpler solution. You probably need to call customer service with both companies and see if they can accommodate you.

Isn’t modularity the whole point of sectionals? We just bought one (ETA 6 months thanks to supply chain bullshit), and could configure it in a ton of different ways.

bagmonkey posted:

We have a bougie Costco in SE MI, located in Bloomfield Hills. It's got a lot of the fancy poo poo and it's never terribly busy. I absolutely love going to that one, maybe I will go tomorrow for lunch!

For the record, bougie meaning they are have more expensive items stocked in pretty much every area of the store. It was right near my last job and we used to go on lunch all the time
