COSTCO Locations

I was feeling lazy so I just bought a big tub of dahi from costco. But it is so bland! There's no tanginess to it at all. But I have this big tub to use up. I'm wondering if anyone has ever put store put store-bought yogurt into the yogurt maker to re-ferment? Would this give it some sour tangy taste?

I need a new sofa but it’s such a big commitment. I’m thinking of going for the Dusk Hampshire 3 seater in olive and then a loveseat but I can’t really afford more from Dusk so was going to go more budget…. Do these work together? Any suggestions?

I have recently discovered that Costco Canada and Costco Mexico have different price adjustment policies. In Canada, if an item goes on sale within 30 days of the purchase, you can get a refund for the difference (in store and online). However, Costco customer service in Mexico told me that they don’t have the same price adjustment rules. Once you buy it, the item can be returned but they won’t do just a refund for the price difference. Has anyone else noticed this difference in Mexico vs Canada? Are there any other big policy differences between Canadian Costco and Costcos in other countries?

I just wanted to say thanks to all the folks who [commented](https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/1rgj867/if_americans_dont_want_small_cars_why_did_this/) on the Honda Fit article we put up last week. And by "comment," I mean mostly ripped us a new one. It was a big ol' whif, and we appreciate the feedback. The best version of a headline is one that gets you to click, and then overdelivers relative to your expectations. I think about this the way Costco thinks about Kirkland brand stuff. Costco, famously, demands that its store brand stuff be at least 1% better than whatever it’s meant to be duping. An Autopian story should be better than the headline that gets you to re...

Ok ya'll I have been thinking about this a lot lately. DevilCorp-style companies always brand themselves as marketing firms, consulting firms, or even “entrepreneurship programs.” You wear a suit, attend a 9am hype meeting, talk about leadership and ownership… and then get sent to Costco or a local store to sell internet or energy contracts. So are they actually similar to real consulting firms? Short answer is : NO tf not. Real consulting firms like McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, or Deloitte are hired by companies to solve business problems. They sell expertise in strategy, operations, finance, or technology. Employees are paid a s...

You know that feeling when you see a "70% off!" banner, get excited, and then realize the original price was totally inflated, or it was cheaper last month? Yeah, I've been there too many times. It's frustrating trying to find genuinely good deals when every store seems to be playing games with their pricing and "sales." Lately, I've been spending a bit of time actually digging into what's being advertised, not just taking the tag at face value. What I'm finding is that a lot of what's pushed as a "deal" isn't really, but if you look, there *are* real savings to be had. It just takes a bit of legwork. Here are a few recent ex...

I often wonder if customers have any idea how much work maintaining the store takes. I was watching our produce department meticulously place potatoes in the bin, there's a specific way SW wants this done. And I remarked "it's funny how something grown in the dirt with cow **** dumped on it, then dug up, placed in a large tub, shipped across 5 states, needs to be displayed "just so" to look appealing." You can't just dump ugly potatoes in a bin and call it good, I guess. An item like Honeycrisp apples has pre-bagged 2 pound skus, individual apples placed "just right", then store bagged individual apples, then Organics done similarly. Just for on...

Hi, we have been told on twilight fill to stop filling 2 hours before end of shift to face up store. This means we are leaving delivery cages. We don’t have enough staff in at night to get all the delivery finished and shop faced up. There are no staff in through the day to pick up the extra work of cages to be filled. We have Whoosh, so constantly looking through cages in warehouse for items needed for Whoosh. Has anyone else been told to sacrifice fill for face up?

I have been driving delivery routes for independent freight companies for the better part of a decade, moving everything from bulk automotive parts to specialized medical equipment across long stretches of empty highway. You get used to the isolation when you work the overnight shifts, and you eventually learn to find a strange sort of comfort in the steady hum of the tires against the pavement and the lonely glow of the dashboard instruments. I usually listen to long audiobooks or history podcasts to keep my mind engaged while the miles roll by, drinking terrible gas station coffee and trusting my navigation application to guide me to warehouses and loading docks hidden in the industrial ou...

I’ll probably be grilled for this one because Costco is for some reason very popular but whatever. I can’t ******* stand Costco. Now you may be thinking “well just don’t go then”. Fair concept. Here’s the thing. My wife loves that store. Some context/defending my dislike. \-it’s literally the only store you need a membership just to set foot in. \-unless you own a restaurant or hotel or something where you need a bunch of supplies of at once, who in the **** needs stuff in bulk? \-it’s so ******* crowded. You can’t turn a corner or even move three feet without bumping into someone. \-if you end up not getting anything (like what happened to me one time), good luck...

campaign summary to date: Ghost finished infiltration of the Empress and returns with a data-slug containing manifests of 12 other Renraku experimental ships. He takes a moment to upgrade gear and gets a call from Ms Sato, the woman rescued at the start of this cascade of runs... **The Call from the Shadows** As you’re testing the fit of your new suit, your commlink chirps. It’s an encrypted message from **Ms. Sato**, the woman you saved from the penthouse. *"Ghost. I’ve gone underground, but I’ve been listening. That data-slug you took from the Empress? It’s part of a project called 'Project Neptune.' Renraku isn't just shipping mana-batteries; they'r...

We have a Bourbon discord with monitors that track inventory at stores like Costco, and distilleries for special events and tastings! https://discord.com/invite/dkrveeJBEP https://tatera.io

If your coils are popping through the fabric, it’s time. And no, you don’t need to spend a grand to fix it. For a twin in the $150–$300 range, a simple memory foam bed-in-a-box is realistic. Keep expectations grounded, but you can absolutely find something comfortable. Look for at least 8–10 inches thick and ideally 2.5–3 lb density foam. Anything thinner or super lightweight tends to sag fast. If you’re avoiding big-box online marketplaces, check warehouse clubs like Costco or Sam's Club. They sometimes carry solid budget foam options with better return policies than most random online brands. Also, don’t overlook local mattress stores. Floor models or closeouts on twin...

I always assumed this was just a scale contest, biggest retailer wins. After reading both filings and recent transcripts, I think the interesting part is customer behavior, not store count. Costco has this weird combo of low gross margin plus very high trust. People treat the membership fee like a sunk cost, then self-select into buying more to "get value" from it. That loop is hard to break. Walmart is still a machine and management has executed really well on logistics and ecom, but the moat feels more operational. Costco's moat feels more behavioral. One breaks faster if execution slips, the other probably breaks only if customer identity changes. If you had to hold one ...

I'm looking for indie dev thoughts on your pain points with using Steam to launch your indie titles. The main theme I've seen over the past year or two on this subreddit/others is discoverability and rising above the crowd of other games. What do you wish Steam did differently? Transparently, this post is in service of gauging interest in a small storefront specifically dedicated to smaller indie titles. Think the curation of Costco/Trader Joe's, but for games, with no exclusivity deal, taking a much smaller cut than Steam's 30%. There'd be a much higher bar for what makes it onto the store, such that games that DO make it on have significantly higher visibility/di...
