I work at Costco

[WebSnyper]

Been a member for a few years. Glad we finally got one close by now. Grabbed a pizza there last night.

How are we like 3 pages deep and no one has mentioned the $1.50 hotdog combo... INGO is like 45% about food.

For instance I’m sure you can find cheap pasta many places but. Costco offers Americas Test Kitchen winning pasta at great bulk prices. Great brands on about anything. Wells Lamont work gloves. Prepping is so misunderstood as most people focus on a few flashy items. Do you have socks? Less than fifteen bucks gets you four pairs of merino wool socks. Stock ‘‘em up. LOL

You know what is "worse" than that?

Aside from mostly food, when a seasonal item is nearing it's end of life in a warehouse and it's not selling as expected, we (a lot of times) mark the item down in price. So those socks become $8.97. But that's almost the same as timing the market. Because it doesn't always happen and we simply just pack em up and send them back to the vendor.

The new Avon store?

Thanks. And the sauce is getting ready to listen to the drama that goes on between nurses at a hospital. If anyone is married to one, they'll know what I mean.

Yep. My wife is a night shift nurse too.

I was trying to avoid sounding sexist because her unit is ALL women. But I hear ya. Men and other professions can achieve that goal as well.

Labor and delivery? OB?

My wife works labor and delivery postpartum

We switched our fountain drink supplier from Coke to Pepsi back around 2014 or so. Add in the deletion of our Combo (Supreme) pizza, and it's been downhill for me ever since. The Churro's can be a hit or miss, but when they're good, they're really good.

Pepsi > Coke anyway and hotdogs are hard to eff up. And its $1.50. Id be a very fat man if i worked at Costco.

My wife works labor and delivery postpartum

LOL, good catch, but I guess that was obvious. Yes, she does postpartum, but also does jump over to labor & delivery if needed. I've never realized (until my wife) that hospitals can be a badly run business with a bunch of crazy people running it.

That's a terrible thing to say!

Oh yeah. My wife used to work for Franciscan now works at IU Bloomington and MY GOD the stories of **** poor management at both.

 

[OmarR]

Well patience, there goes your theory...

And he's from CA??


(Just ribbin' ya Omar. )

Yeah, San Diego for almost 40 years. Now when I go back to visit (my entire family is still there), I can't believe I lived like that!!!

My wife has worked Community East, IU North, Methodist, St. Vincent, and currently Riverview.

Same sh*t, different place.

Patient care driven by the bottom line, not quality of care.

100% agree.

I'm one of those guys in my forties that only visits Urgent Care WHEN I HAVE TO. I don't even have a primary. It's the one on duty after you call 911.

I've never been to a Costco. I think our closest one is in Greenwood. Nothing against them just never been in one. Or Meijer for that matter. I need to get out more.

If you or anyone else near the south side want to go to that store sometime, hit me up. I’ll take friends with me.

Is that the Merrillville one? How is the service there? I heard it's not as friendly as other buildings.

Yes Merrillville/Hobart. We are happy with the service there. Staff is always friendly and helpful. No complaints.
