I know it sounds ridiculous...but I am here for it.

If you just want a good, simple Hot Dog...Costco man.

I'm with you! Solidarity!

I've watched my dad try to check-in online for a flight and honestly doing something online is way more challenging than it needs to be due to "old man struggling" and I can totally see "what's my password again?" being enough to reach "wouldn't it be easier to just go there and renew it in person?".

Hotdogs are super nasty. They taste like barf mushed into a condom.

Classic mistake. You've been buying the 100% All Barf instead of All Beef.

A bun would warm up in like 30 seconds in a microwave.

The only extra thing you'd need are your favourite condiments in the fridge and banana peppers, chopped onions etc. if you wanted to be fancy (and I think Costco discontinued offering this).

Hell, add a can of Stag chili and some of the pre-shredded cheese/cheese whiz... with hot sauce that's a damn good chili cheese dog and even with the extra use of the microwave, it's still the water that takes the longest time.

That’s all tough to do when I’m confined to the divot in my couch.

Really, it was not a serious post so there’s no need to over-think it. Most of the stuff that gets delivered, e.g. pancakes, is easy enough to cook at home. It’s about convenience.

When I think about it there’s nothing special about Costco hotdogs except the price. There’s no way they’re delivering them for $1.50, but I can dream.

Agreed. Just not costco hot dogs. Those all beef hot dogs are like the Wagyu beef of hotdogs. Or I like to tell myself that.

Is DoubleF even capable of not overthinking it?

Do you hate sun dogs and Tom Waits’ “Rain Dogs” too?

Certainly. I love grabbing Costco hotdogs when I go. But when I'm home, I often can't just do a basic one without considering an option to elevate it by adding an extra minute or two.

Unfortunately, no.

I'll have gone through multiple ideas in my head within the first 10-20 seconds of evaluating a concept.

I like the polish ones but not by much. Both are delicious.

and now I'm thinking of the variation with home made saurkraut... dang it I want a hot dog.

To be fair I imagine some retired people may look for any excuse to get out of the house and socialize.

I love hotdogs.
I don't care if they are all lips and #######s.

You can also renew your DL online. You have to alternate between online and in-person though, so your photo doesn’t get too old.

At the junction of being to lazy to go and get bread and having leftover pancakes, use them in place of bread for anything from pb&j to grilled cheese to hamburgers. It’s awesome.

I don't like McGriddles. I don't like the added sweetness from the syrup. Slight sweetness from a pancake or waffle is fine though.

Oh man, I love the syrup taste. It is the best.

Reheat a couple pancakes in the toaster then put a Kraft cheese slice between is a delicious quick snack.

Taking 15 minutes out of their day to bank-to-face is a lot less stressful and time-consuming for them than struggling with digital log-ins and transactions.
