That’s an upstate thing. Better take this over to that thread.Quote:

No one is willing to back up and possibly have another waiting car snipe their spot. Combine that with clueless foot traffic blocking even more traffic. I really don't get it. You're coming out of costco with a cart, it's not like you need to be close because you're carrying something heavy.
X2 and they are almost always old. Just so fucking old. They have an the biggest chunk of handicapped parking spaces I’ve ever seen at the front, always filled with cars. Most of them still have a husband/wife sitting inside while the other half shops, left alone (probably on oxygen) to stare at you while walking past.Quote:

But in the end it’s really all about those chicken bakes. A guilty pleasure for sure.
Haha. For real. And now that you mention the cart thing, what's even MORE hilarious is how those same people had zero trouble traversing the 4.3 mile loop on their shopping journey through the massive warehouse store, but the mere thought of having to walk an extra 50-100 feet to their car? Well, can't have that now! That's just tooooo far!Quote:

I'd tell them if you want to stay safe out there, then Costco's probably the LAST place you want to go. Particularly on days they're typically packed. And these days it seems to ALWAYS be packed mid-day, mid-week. Doesn't matter. So odd. I've found Sunday evening (near closing time) and Mondays to be the best for reasons unknown. Rest of the week, I try and stay far away from that place.Quote:

Even weirder when the weather is PERRRRRFECT. Most noticeably it's large SUVs (often with large drivers) in the car line to pick up my kids from school. I roll my windows down and shut off the car every chance I get. Saves gas and the weather's nice. Strange how few people do that.Quote:

Seriously. Especially when Leviathan-class trucks and SUVs are still in just as high demand as ever.Quote:

Ehh, gas is kinda cheap:FIREdevil
Have we touched on how frustrating it is to sit around waiting for a furniture delivery that hasn't shown up as the predicted time window is closing? I hate being stuck at home based on someone else's schedule.

That's obscure. Thanks.
Swinging back to grammar annoyance: “seen” instead of “saw”
As in: ”I seen a old guy in the Costco parking lot idling his car for 45 minutes.”

Grammar like that needs fixed.
I mean, it’s even one more letter to type AND it’s wrong.
