I’m all tied up in CVS polos right now but once I’m a bit more liquid I imagine a move into Costco hoodies is in my future. I’ve heard good things about Esso 3/4 zips but I gotta see for myself before I go all in.

As someone who has a wide selection of branded Kirkland and Costco clothing (Hoodies, sweaters, hats, slides) i can confirm it is infact a great conversation starter as odd as that is.

Rando: " Is that a Kirkland hat?"
Me: "yeah.... im a gold star member, no big deal"

Can also confirm the quality to price ratio is extremely good.

Does the RCSS have a slogan like

"Pro tip, don't buy your mix at our liquor stores"

?

Should also note...you get a pop with the hotdog for your $1.50. Hot on the front and a cup on the back

All the clothes at Costco, somehow regardless of brand, fit like they’re designed for a stout man of 5’3”

Those 12 packs of three pound chocolate muffins have a cost.

If they made a shirt that said "If you raise the ####ing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out." on the front, I'd buy one.

I do like the hot dogs there, but they must be really high in sodium. I'm thirsty all night after eating one and bloat up like a fat Elvis.

Also, they have been really militant there lately about membership cards. My wife sent me back outside to get a cart and gave me her card to get back in. When I showed them the card, they said the picture wasn't me, and wouldn't let me back in. I didn't have my own card, so my wife had to come back to get me.

I think they had too many issues with idiots who would lie their way in then throw a fuss about how they can't check out without a membership card. I know I started seeing a lot more people making a scene at the entrance and checkouts in the last few years.

I don't know if you still have the complementary secondary card or not. It might be a good idea to get one for you if it's free anyways. The secondary card is my wife purely for in and out purposes. I don't think she's ever used it to buy anything.

Yes but instead of koolaid, we have $1.50 glizzys, and consumer goods at bulk distribution prices.

Send in the feds!

If you refer to it as a bunny hug, the conversation will elevate.
