The COSTCO Thread

[UteStar]

New Costco policy: No more paying for food court items in the regular checkout line. (BOOOO, Costco, BOOOO). That's the only way I ever purchase from their food court, which is cash/check only. I just never carry cash. Strange to me that their food court doesn't at least accept debit cards. The cashier told me it's a Costco-wide thing too.

Its actually not Costco wide. Its more typical now though. With that said, the SLC Costco still lets you purchase from the food court when checking out. However, the Murray Costco does not let you do this. Kind of a hit and miss. I agree, it stinks when you can't buy it in the checkout line. It is also strange that you can't use debit/credit card in the food court.

You obviously spend far too much at COSTCO to be nearlyu as cool as you say you are.

Sorry, but triplet has taught me to be honest.

Just bought a bunch of compost soil bags from Costco. Each bag is made up of organic material (including fruits and vegetables compost - leftovers from Costco that were not purchased and then composted, 25 fruits/vegetables along with soil composted all together in each bag). It is great soil and pretty cheap at 2 bags for $8. It is great for vegetable gardens and for breaking up tough clay soils. Thumbs up Costco!

Wow, only $8 for TWO whole bags of garbage?

Another option for low carbers:


Blend in fabulous new Blendtec blender -- thanks CUF.com UTESTAR for the recommendation!!

You can add raspberries or strawberries instead of extract if you don't mind a few extra carbs. (between 4-8 I'd guess)

I corrected your comment. You are welcome. Feel free to send me a couple of shakes in appreciation:

I need to stock up on the Ketchup, pickles and vitamins. You can be cool and still have an amazing supply of condiments.

They don't allow debit/credit at the food court because the profit margins for the food court are so low that if they had to pay merchant fees they would need to raise their prices. Costco treats it as more of a service than a money maker.

How many people do you know that go to Costco just for the $1.50 hot dog and drink? I'm sure that offering alone is responsible for getting a lot of people in the doors.

Me and my roommates in college used to hit up Orem Costco all the time for lunch. Cheap, good, and lots of milfs.

The hand dipped ice cream bars with roasted almonds are the best thing in the whole damn store. I plan on eating one after the marathon in October, which is just about the only way to burn enough calories to justify one.

UteStar is buying rotting trash, hot dogs from the food court, pickles and vitamins.

I see he is taking this anti-Sexy legislation very seriously.

Rotting trash is very sexy to nutrient hungry sexy tomatoes. My vegetables will be frakkin' awesome this summer!

Vitamins keep me lean and mean and hott! and sassy. Costco hot dogs, in moderation, do a body good as well. No worries - my sexiness not only survives, but it thrives.

Growing your own vegetables is not sexy. It is more sexy to hire a manservant or trained domestic animal to purchase tomatoes on your behalf.
