re: How bad is Costco going to be right now?

Went @ 11:30, crowded, but in/out in :30.

Costco is exhausting even on the best of days. I avoid that place like the plague.

Not that I’ve seen. I signed up because now Sam’s is a few more miles away, but after the mess I had to endure to get my picture taken for the membership card, I’m not renewing.

I miss Sam’s scan and go as well as order pickup at the store. Costco can eat a baseball bat sideways.

To be fair, a mind on the bottle would say something like mind-bottling.

Hate to think my Christmas gift was coming from Costco

You'd hate truck straps and nice towels?

I am stuck with the Costco in Katy, which seemingly gets all the traffic from Sugarland, and the Sugarland transplants to Katy/fulshear. 25 minutes to get a picture taken, after I had to create my own parking spot next to a dumpster. And it wasn’t any better on a weekday before lunch. I got a cheap iPad which paid for my membership, but F that place. I don’t go to warehouses to “shop” like a woman. I go to get in and GTFO. Costco is designed to prevent that.

I think you can do delivery from Costco

You can do delivery via Instacart, but the prices are higher to cover the shopper fees and Instacart margin.

I was in and out in 15 minutes...I had to buy four things and I knew exactly where they are located...checkout line wasn't long...I found a parking spot right away, but it was getting ugly when I was leaving...
