That’s why I didn’t buy any sashimi either. Same, packaged yesterday.

I tried the sushi ! It’s decent for the price. Not super fantastic but better than tnt sushi by a country mile.

I'm tempted by the nigiri box. It looks like salmon, red tuna, tuna toro, and hamachi for $35. That's a steal if the quality is better than Sushi Garden.

It's better than Sushi Garden, but my food standard is pretty trash compared to the general impression I get from here.
Anyhow I liked it enough the first time that I ate the whole tray in one sitting.

Haven't tried but my expectations for the sushi is luke warm at best. I say this because I got some at the costco in Japan recently and mid and I can't expect ours to be better. This of course was having realistic expectations going in and not trying to compare it to restaurant quality stuff. That said, I always say there's a time and a place for everything. I like my ballin sushi but I have no problem hitting up some mid korean joint and for the price there are situations where I would hit this as well. Just nice to see new options.

for the same price at a sushi restaurant by my house I can get a 20 piece sashimi combo that's top notch quality and I don't have to worry about pissing out my ass later. If the Poco Costco ends up getting sushi I will try it because why not.

As radeon said, make sure to double check the PACKAGED date. don't buy the day old stuff, the rice will be terrible.
I also found that letting it sit out and achieve room temperature before consuming makes it even more delicious. if everything is too cold, it's no good.

How strict are they with the correct person using the card? Can I say send my mom in with my card to get things because I'm too busy?
Also can you still loophole things with a giftcard nowadays?

I just tried the sashimi plate the other day when I had dinner at friend's place. I first thought it was Sushi Garden.
So, it's at least there in term of quality and I wouldn't complain for the price. Quote:

The other day I was there with wife and we couldn't find a parking. So I just gave my card to my wife and ask her to grab the 2 items we wanted.
Ended up having to go in myself as they wouldn't let her use my card.

IMO it's a good thing Costco is clamping down. I've heard of them cancelling memberships to those serial return abusers, like the ones who return christmas trees after christmas or TV's after the superbowl.

The card scanning is pretty clearly for data tracking, brilliant on their part.
By scanning your car upon entry they know exactly where you’re going and how much time your spending in the store

i think PC optimum points is S tier data tracking/mining, they track when/what/how much you purchase, and can tailor coupons based on your purchase history (that's when you know they're farming the F out of your data), but the points just encourage you to be OK with it and keep going. i'm sure they track how much i buy gas from esso now that they're partnered with them.

Companies have so much data on us.
Target had to detune their data mining algorithms.
In one case the algorithm started sending baby/pregnancy related coupons to a high school teen. Her dad went and cussed out the local store manager. Couple weeks later he went back and apologized as she was in fact pregnant.
Apparently her purchases of unscented bath/beauty products matched what other women in early pregnancy would buy. https://www.driveresearch.com/market...t-pregnancies/ | |

The sushi I got from Burnaby Costco was so garbage. The rice was so bad, it was mushy and disgusting. Never buying sushi from Costco again. Their pricing isn't even that amazing.
