1. I will definitely buy my Christmas balls

at Costco!

[DoBW]

22. Shweaty Ballls. I had shingles at Christmas five years ago, in the crotch. Shingle Balls. Ho, ho, ho.

[GreenWave]

2. Hooray!

[Coldwater]

3. You don't screw with the worlds cheapest high quality

purveyor of glitz

[DoBW]

17. seriously

[Aviation Pro]

4. I bet

That Costco finds a way to give its members a dividend if they recover the monies.

[SunSeeker]

52. They know what each member bought, so it should be pretty doable.

I have returned stuff without a receipt, they just needed my member card, and looked up the purchase.

[Mossfern]

5. I don't belong to Costco

I find the huge store overwhelming, and when I'm in the area, the parking lot is overflowing and chaotic.
I have issues with large brightly lit crowded places to the point where I get dizzy and need to sit down before I have a full fledged panic attack.

But

Because of this, I will put on my big girl pants and join.
I'll find the least crowded time to go.

Go Costco!

10. In my experience, the quietest time at Costco is the hour or two before it closes.

My Costco's hours:

Mon-Fri: 9:00 AM - 8:30 PM
Sat: 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM
Sun: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM

So it's not open very late, although I don't know if you like to be out after dark, which even early hours will put you in wintertime.

Getting there right when they open is second best, because a lot of shoppers have the same idea.

Going anytime in the middle of the day is the worst, it can be a zoo for sure, inside and outside.

But going at 6:00 when they close at 8:30 is a much calmer experience.

Good luck!

11. Pay extra money and get the EXEC membership. Then use the card when you buy gas, anywhere.

The membership is free. At least in my case, it is. But I put many miles on the car for my job.

IF you pay the entire bill every month, you will come out ahead.

Also, exec. membership gets you in the door at 9:00. Regular membership, door opens at 10:00.

[bamagal62]

12. Also, with the Exec membership,

You get a refund check each year that basically pays to renew your membership.

[3Hotdogs]

15. That was my point but I didn't 'splain it clearly.

Thanks for the update. My annual check cranks to about $200.

[bamagal62]

42. 👍🏻

[Ilsa]

49. Yeah, I typically get hundreds of dollars back,

and my household is small. The 5% back on gas is a BFD.

[FarPoint]

18. You can get delivery.....

Also, The gas quality and savings is worth the membership to me ....

[Wednesdays]

35. Yep. The savings on gas alone are worth the membership.

I fill up everytime I go there, which is every Friday evening.

[Attilatheblond]

23. It's a bit of a drive for me to get to the closest COSTCO

But I do get some pantry items, vitamins, sometimes bigger items, and such via their website. Their shipping is generally pretty fast. If you live close to one, they offer some items for next day to 2 day shipping.

[Maraya1969]

30. I have similar issues and that's why I never go to the movies. But last time I did go

(because it was, 'The Jersey Boys" ) I put on sunglasses and used ear plugs and sat in the very last row.

[Maru Kitteh]

39. Shop online and have it delivered! That's what I do in rural Montana :-)

I’m just barely within the delivery area since they expanded it, so I can get fresh things now too!

I’m sorry it’s difficult for you to do things other people take for granted Mossfern. It must make things next to impossible sometimes.

[summer_in_TX]

48. Maybe shop there online and have it delivered?

Members do get really good discounts, plus we get our glasses made there more affordably, others get hearing aids, tires, etc. Some of those would need to be done in-store, but you could go directly to the department you need and then get out.

[LymphocyteLover]

6. Awesome!

[Intractable]

7. Go Costco!

The company everybody likes vs. the government everyone hates.




I'm a proud card-carrying member.

[RVN VET71]

8. It's always crowded, but that's a good thing, isn't it?

Went there on a Sunday thinking they opened at 9:00. They opened at 10, but I got a great parking spot and waited until 10:00. (Reading to bide the time)(Murakami's IQ84, since you asked, a massive but absorbing and delightful book)

,Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah, at 10:00 I got out of my car and found myself at the end of an already long line of customers, walking towards the building in a kind of shuffle-foot zombie herd march. I was amazed at how quickly the line filled and extended. Because people love COSTCO. Because people depend on COSTCO. Because COSTCO is one of the few corporations in this shambles of a Country that gives a damn about quality, about its customers, and about its employees.

13. As Yogi Berra once famously said,

"No one goes to that restaurant because it's always too crowded."

[RVN VET71]

46. YOGI will be remembered long after baseball has been forgotten

[twodogsbarking]

9. We have two Walmarts, Sam's Club and no Costco. Someone got some money for no Costco, possibly.

[biophile]

20. Same here. Three Costco stores are all 55 minute's away

They have triangulated the store placements so it’s doubtful if we will get one anytime soon, if ever

[Diamond_Dog]

27. Exact same situation for me, biophile.

The Sam’s Club near me is in a high traffic area and is crowded no matter what day or time you’re there. I avoid it at Christmas time like the plague. My husband likes their frozen salmon fillets so we keep our membership but I wouldn’t care at all if he cancelled it.

[ificandream]

37. We have two Costcos within ten minutes of each other, a Walmart and no Sam's Club

The second Costco opened a year ago and I suspect that somehow Costco pushed Sam's Club out of the way. I don't mind that so much since I hate Walmart and only go there for things I really need. Otherwise, I'll go anywhere else expect Walmart.

[gab13by13]

14. I thought Krasnov was going to give everyone

2,000 dollars from that tariff money? Maybe Krasnov better think twice, that is, if he still has the tariff money, maybe he converted it to Bitcoin?

[Attilatheblond]

24. With my tongue firmly in cheek: Trump may be slow with getting those checks out because he's siging by hand.

Can't very well use autopen to sign those checks to each of us after making such a fuss about autopen being not legal or something like that.

[Farmer-Rick]

19. Well, under the old free trade agreements

This would go through a resolution process that would usually resolve the issues. But of course pedo Trump trashed all the agreements and goes where ever his dementia leads him.

[SidneyR]

21. I totally hate the metaphor.

Balls are weak, not strong. The metaphor is sexist, and for no good reason.

[Goonch]

29. "Costco has BIGGER balls than my alma mater"

[Skittles]

34. so what if the balls are bigger?

one tap and host collapses

balls are WEAK

[ShazzieB]

51. I don't like that trope, either.

It's annoyingly sexist, whether it's meant that way or not. Why? Because it implies that only cis men (and trans women who haven't had bottom surgery) are capable of having qualities such as courage, and that's just plain wrong.

I usually try to ignore it, but seeing that I'm not the only one who objects to it makes me feel more comfortsble chiming in.

Believe it or not, some of us really don't care how big anybody's balls are!

[BannonsLiver]

47. 46 responses and 234 recs

And only one reply complaining about the metaphor. Progress.

[markie]

53. enlightenment

is a long slow process... at times

[aggiesal]

25. Other companies will join Costco n/t

[uponit7771]

26. Liking COSTCO more and more

[Goonch]

28. ;-{)

[gademocrat7]

31. Costco rocks

Been a member since 2000.

[popsdenver]

32. There are a lot of small restaurants that buy

their food at Costco and Wallmart, as well as Sams, which is owned by Walmart.
With people increasingly having less money, fewer will be going out to dinner, lunch, breakfast and indirectly I wonder if that will take a chunk of revenue away from those outlets.

BTW, the Walmart Clan doesn't seem to be suffering for their massive profiteering. They now own, almost every Major Sports team in Denver.......Broncos, Avalanche, Nuggets, etc etc. The only one they don't own is the Colorado Rockies Baseball Team, and no intelligent person would buy the rockies due to being at a high altitude.......

[Skittles]

33. balls are THE most delicate body part

just a TAP and host collapses

just sayin'

[Deep State Witch]

36. That's Because

They buy them in bulk!

[Susan Calvin]

38. You scared me.

At first glance, I thought it said Costco bails.

[get the red out]

40. I was planning a trip to Costco anyway

I will spend some money with the good guys this weekend (right after payday).

[Blue Owl]

41. Just renewed my fucking membership

Dump can shove his tariffs up his fat shitty ass

[Raine]

43. I quit shopping at Costco. I got sick and tired of people running

their carts up the back of my legs. 😮‍💨

[Tree Lady]

45. Just have to shop late in day

When almost no one there. Depends on where you live.

[Jack Valentino]

44. And the maggots have been going nuts over it, threatening not to shop there---

which will be a definite improvement of the atmosphere
for all the other reasonable and rational shoppers....

[Ilsa]

50. We should throw a ball!
