The COSTCO Thread

Please return and report. I am curious how it compares to the Arbys brisket.

I'll be waiting for word of mouth on this one.

We recently bought a pizza to eat dinner at Costco and I realized as we drove into our neighborhood that we left the remaining half of the pizza on the table in the store 15 minutes away and after closing time. We were all saddened.

How does that happen? For the first time ever, last night, I got something to eat at the Costco "deli". Wife and kids were not at home so I was on my own for dinner and was texted a Costco shopping list of things to purchase on my way home. I opted for a slice of their supreme pizza - not too bad but I was hungy having skipped lunch. After eating my slice of pizza, I made my way to the Costco exit and the "greeter" held out her hand, as usual, for my receipt. It was then that I realized I had left my shopping cart of purchased goods back at the picnic tables. Fortunately, all my stuff was still there.

Did they draw a cute little smiley face on the back of the receipt for you? Nothing annoys me more than this tradition of drawing on the receipt to give to the kids. Not only does it hold up the line for everyone behind, it gives my kids one more thing to cry and fight over. It seems like when I went to Costco in Salt Lake they had instituted a stamp that mitigated both of these issues. I just wish they would just stop. One time I asked the lady to please not draw a picture. She laughed at me, and doodled away.

You just ate at Costco for the first time last night? Man, I don't think I leave Costco without buying something. If I don't get a dog and a drink then at a minimum I get a churro or hand dipped ice cream with almonds.

That fad has yet to reach Dallas. It's nothing but the flourcent book mark drawing a line on the receipt. I don't think Dallas customers would put up with any of that nonsense holding up the line. Costco employees are also very effecient at helping load the carts post-scan even at the self check-out lanes. Nothing worse than having someone take their sweet time loading their items while the next customer is ready to scan.

Maybe I just need to slow down and enjoy the churro.

Whoa. No doodlers AND self check out?! Sounds like I may need to reconsider my feelings about Texas.

Have never had my receipt doodled upon here in Utah.

Anyone try the brisket sandwich at the food court yet? This is the first time I've seen it.

First time I've seen it too.

I'm blown away, too. My wife and I have had many, many date nights where we ended up grabbing dinner at Costco and nothing else.

Always doodling here in NC and we don't have the brisket sandwich. I've never liked the big chicken thing because it's too dry and they've tried a few other options here but the main one that seems to have stuck is some kind of hot ham 'n cheese. I couldn't stand that in 5th grade and I'm not paying $4-5 for it now. I'll take my all beef dog, drink and a churro any day over that.

I go with what's safe either pizza ot the hotdog.

However all of the desserts are good.

Yep. We have the ham and cheese as well. Just found out tonight that they've done away with the chocolate ice cream bar with almonds. I'm not very happy about that.

What?!?

Probably due to the FDA banning trans-fats.
