I'm eating them anyways since I don't want to waste food but even chasing them with really strong iced tea doesn't get the taste out of my mouth. | Would you lick dryer sheets? I'm guessing it's doing the same thing. lol.

Went out to eat for the first time in 2 weeks, had a bowl of ngau tsap mein, or beef innard noodles and an ice milk tea.
God damn it was so salty and full of MSG! Not used to that any more!  Tasted pretty good though, I've mostly been eating the same thing every day for breakfast and lunch for 2 weeks.
Had to take temperature to get in, the provide hand sanitizer, and they were following the rule with half capacity.  | |

Dunno why anyone would waste their time with lines like that at Costco
If you drive to smaller places there’s no lineup to get in, no lineup to pay, etc.
I’m the biggest Costco guy going but I’ll pay a bit more to not have to deal with that shit.

Are people complaining about getting a 2 year voucher? Be thankful you're not in a country that will give you NOTHING if your flight was canceled due to this.
JAL offered 2 week vouchers at first, and now they are giving nothing. This may change, but that's their policy and they'll stick to it unless forced otherwise.

Why would they pay a premium to save time? All these people have is time. They would rather wait in like for 30mins to save $15 than go somewhere else with no line. I respect that hustle. Why pay a premium when you don't have to.
I wouldn't do it, but kudos to them.

^I rather pay a bit extra to avoid crowds/lineups. Go in and grab what I need and get the fuck out ASAP. Sure you may save a bit here and there going to Costco but not worth to put my life/health on the line right now. What is the extra buck or two going to do for me right now during Covid.

glove/mask/goggles on to line up once every 10-14 days is fine because people have more time than money these days

Costco only allows 50 in at a time. Walmart has no limit Been to both Costo seems safer to me. If I see a long line up at Costco I just wait in the truck until they allow 50 in. I also make sure there is plenty of distance in front and behind me when I line up.

Costco also updated its policy where only two people can enter on a membership now. https://www.costco.ca/coronavirus-response.html Updated Guest Shopping Policy
Effective Friday, April 3, Costco will allow no more than two people to enter the warehouse with each membership card. This temporary change is for your safety and the safety of our employees and other members, and to further assist with our social distancing efforts. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

Costco............
Worse time to go is during seniors hour. The most vulnerable people gather and line up for miles. On top of that, the general population is there early to line up. Mornings are a gong show.
Best time to go is after 7:00 PM. Most of the time, no lineups.
I went to Shoppers today in the afternoon. It's seniors day today. The whole social distancing thing is affecting a lot of people in a negative way. This one caucasian cougar in her 50s? Starts yelling at this asian couple coming out of the store for being slow. Asian woman says to the cougar to be kind. "Nobody has time for this, just get out of the way," yells the cougar. She then proceeds into the store in a straight-arm pose like a football player. It was hilarious. Others were just as grumpy and downright miserable. I find that for the most part, men are cool about it, but older women. Wow!

Any company that tries to screw over their customers during a time like this deserve to fuck off. | Haha check this: https://www.platinumathleticclub.com/perks/
So apparently there was a pre planned "rate increase" prior to the pandemic
And if anyone cancels now, and they come back they'll be subject to the new rate.
They're screwing everyone.

My mother-in-law went to Costco during seniors hour yesterday. Got us everything we needed as well. Picked it up last night and Lysol-wiped it all down. Just need to get some produce and we are set for another couple of weeks.
We are absolutely stocked on everything. Need to start making our way though our pantry and freezer.
My only splurge on a more regular basis is fresh bread from the local bakeries...
Just finishing week 3 of working from home. Getting into the groove of it now. Still finding it hard to get out of bed though knowing I don't have to rush off anywhere.  | |
