Overrated. Used to be a good deal but they hiked their prices to where it's no cheaper than a typical store for 95% of the products.

We are discussing St Tammany rather than Orleans.

went about 3 this afternoon. Got a decent spot got in, got what i wanted and got out not too bad. basically walked right up to self checkout. I have to say the last 2 weeks that the gas station has been open without the store have been bliss. been 3-4 times and 2 of those I was the only vehicle there.

I went last night, wasn't open but had an invite. Free pizza, dogs, drinks, cake and cookies. The place looked nice, but just like any other costco. I heard it was a madhouse today.

Those dogs are legit and pizza always tastes better when it is free.

No matter how packed a costco is, the checkout lines always move quickly. You see a line going to the back of the store and think this will take all day, 3 minutes later a cashier is putting your shite in a produce box. Amazing what paying Cashiers $30+ an hour does for productivity.

Now that gas line can become stupid, but that is because people are stupid and can't figure out how to do things on their own. I would pay more to not have to wait in the line, I would go if I was passing when the store was closed, I guess people didn't realize the pumps were open til 9 when the store closed earlier. After a hurricane they don't advertise it but they keep the pumps going 24/7.

The good thing i see about the gas is that the sam's is right there and people will have a choice at the same cost. When the gas opened it was at like $.40 cheaper for premium than sams. The next day sam's was a penny cheaper. Most of our rigs burn premium so I'll wait a minute to save that $. Curious to see when they both figure out that they can go higher and are way lower than other options by a lot.

I used to go to Sam's to get stuff about once a month.. My GF's dad (butthole) criticized me for going to Sam's... "What do you need there that you can't get at the grocery" my response.. "Well your daughter is at my house a lot and I can get bulk toilet paper"... He never said another word.. He was the only father of any GF I have had that I didn't get along with.. He was a real POS...
