2. Costco

Go to Best Buy or order it on Amazon

Costco does suck on the weekend. I usually run over to ours on my lunch break on like a Tuesday and it's much better.

You know you don’t have to buy the iPad at Apple right?

People that go to the apple store for anything other than a repair are the reason the line is long.

2. Costco

Executive members get 9AM entry so you get in 30 minutes before opening on weekends and a full hour before others on weekdays.

If you’re not Executive level, just be there when the big doors open for everyone. It’s never that crowded early in the morning.

Leave your cart in an out of the way spot when you go into the produce or dairy freezers.

When you’re leaving, use the aisle down the middle of the clothing section to approach the registers; don’t walk down the big aisle way over to one side.

AT&T store.

Just needed a new iPhone and they wanted me to change all sorts of things on my plan and didn’t even have what I wanted in stock much less any comprable options.

Went online and was able to order exactly what I wanted in less than 10 minutes and had the phone in 2 days.

Exact opposite for me. I enjoy walking around Costco and seeing what’s new. To each their own.

My Costco complaint is not with the people/crowd. It’s that every. single. week they move shite around.

Yes, I know this is by design but holy hell it’s a royal pain when you generally get the same items each trip.

Our Costo is the worlds smallest Costco, and is always packed. Its gotta be like printing money.

The mall on Thursday with my 21 mo old.

There is no corralling a 21 mo old.

Every shelf is jungle gym. Every hallway is a race track.

Weekdays 45 minutes before it closes have no lines at the gas station and minimal crowds inside.

The answer, as always, is Wal Mart

I’ll never set foot in that hell hole again if I can help it, especially with how easy it is to avoid nowadays
