It's purely a Costco thing, we've got them in the UK too. I despise the idea of paying for a membership but petrol is 20p cheaper at costco than anywhere else within 100 miles of me so whatever I guess
In Germany they are scared to eat ice so it literally doesn't exist in any bar, they will not give you cold water under any circumstances and they will actually call the police on you if you try and fill your glass from the tap in the bathroom, also 12 year old girls sunbathe nude in the park. It's a pretty weird place

I never got the ice thing either but I'm talking about a deposit at bars and stuff. Also why do they charge for water in the first place?
My original question though was about the glassware deposit. I heard in Germany places with beer mugs and stuff make you pay money for the mug and you only get it back when you return the mug. Is this true?

Wdym scared to eat ice?
And restaurants are legally required to give you tap water if you ask for it also I never was given warm water, what are you talking about?
We are more relaxed about nudity than anglos but I've never encountered the situation you're describing.
So you're saying basically that the glassware deposit only happens at festivals and nightclubs?
Also everyone I've ever talked to says most yuro places are really tight about ice and that restaurants charge for water.

>water
Here in Spain they charge you, but it comes from a bottle. And it’s like 500ml or something small. I’m used to it now, but when I first ate at a restaurant, I kept ordering water after water not knowing this was the case, because in the US it’s free, then my bill came and I wound up drinking like €10 worth of just bottled water with my lunch. Now I just fill my water bottle up from the tap in the bathroom after I drink the one I pay for. israelite me once, shame on me. israelite me twice…

I'm guessing the temperance movements didn't help enough. us americans only have free water and water fountains everywhere because wealthy proponents of the temperance and abolitionist movements wanted to make it easier to stop drinking and installed earlier ones themselves. there are laws in the usa requiring restaurants offer free clean water to anyone who asks and installing water fountains in most semi public buildings.

What parks exactly? Just in case I go to Germany I want to avoid them and give them privacy
What's funny about it? It's a common model. Costo and Sam's club do it in the US. I'm from South america and we have a store that offers the same.
It's not like you have to go to that store, but they offer certain products and perks that might be worth it. Specially if you buy in bulk. I pay like 20 usd a year and get to buy cheaper shampoo, soap powder and beef and pork in bulk, as well as some cheese and imported conserves. My family also use it to get other shit they like.

They’re not always cheaper and they’re not always better. It’s pretty decent but you have to justify it. I don’t eat enough fancy food, my sardines come from the dollar store.

I buy a lot of stuff from Costco. I have the Executive card and I get money back each time I buy things. At the end of the year it doesn't cost me a dime (and I still get money left over). If you don't buy a lot then perhaps it isn't for you but I think it is great!
Normally I'd agree with you but if memory serves Costco consistently pays its employees well and the original CEO took much less of a salary than he could have (still like 200k a year but still).
This, I know dudes who got jobs at costco right out of high school and never left even after earning degrees. It can be a comfy place to work with constant raises.
We have a gelateria near us just like this. A scoop of ice cream costs ~60 cents even though it's prime quality. Other places in my country haven't sold ice cream under 1$ for half a decade at this point.

damn silent generation are a million times better than boomers
They almost certainly add extra cheese to the cheese one. Whenever you look at frozen pizzas the ones with no toppings are usually more cheesy since there's other flavours on the topping ones
That's America only. I make pizza myself and one Margherita is 900-1000 calories. Ones with toppings go for for 1200-1300 max and that's enough for an adult male of average weight (75-85kg). America is just fricked up
These pizzas are iconic for feeding you and your friends after they help you move or a last minute pickup for a birthday party or something, its pretty rare you get it just for yourself.
>lightning just struck me, I'll take a loss on one product to get people in the door to buy more products >literally no other grocery store has ever thought of this before me.
Costco is still a business anon. They need money to operate. All things considered it's basically the only actually good mainstream retailer out there.
Kirklands is just a label owned by Costco. They don't actually make things that I know of (I might be wrong about that) its just like the equivalent of a "Walmart brand" if you will. I think they are a private brand so they can source various products and sell them for lower prices because they are such a big operation.
Like they'll contract with the minoxidil manufacturer who knows selling under the Kirkland name will get them more business than selling under their own?
Yeah something like that I guess. Kirklands is giant and moves tons of volume so the manufacturer sells immense quantities to them. Tgen kirklands packages it and is owned by Costco (and whatever other retailers are in that family) and it gets put on shelves all over the place. Just my guess.

It's a white label, basically costco has a third party manufacturer make something like protein powder, labels it kirkland, then sells it as their own. This is really common especially with packaged food, the food you buy from walmart may have actually been made by the same manufacturer as costco, it's just branded and has different quality assurance standards it has to pass. Costco pulls this off and can offer better quality because they have higher qa standards and do an insane amount of volume.
man thank god i'm smart enough to not have let the goyslop meme go to my head and start generalizing too hard
i manage to save so much money on bulking with these giga cheap calories nukes
Frick I love costco, the $5 rotisserie chickens are such an amazing bulking food surprised no one mentioned. Every week I get two of the rotisseries and a giant pepperoni pizza. Bring 2 slices to work for breakfast and half a shredded rotisserie wrapped in tortillas with a caeser salad for lunch. Their premade chicken alfredo pasta bake is also fricking amazing but its kinda overpriced so I don't get it often.
the chicken is incredible. i usually buy it and eat all the obvious pieces like legs and breasts just with sides, then remove most of the scrappy meat for soups and stews, then boil the carcass with onions, carrots, celery, garlic, peppercorns and salt to make the best chicken broth on earth.

oh yeah! When I take the chicken home I put some gloves on and pull apart the meat and put that in another container. Then the bones and skin and stuff that's left behind I put in a pot with some water and boil the rest of the meat off the bones. Then strain it into another container and use that to make some stew. Then I take what is left and put it in my garden as compost. It is really awesome
Not food related but costco is the only place I have ever seen to have a reasonable price for micro fiber towels, like 20$ for over a years worth of car/boat washes and waxes for a single family.
Daily reminder that the supplier for Costco hot dogs used to be ~~*hebrew national*~~ and when the possibility of a price increase came up, the Costco founder terminated the agreement with the israelites and built his own hoe dog factory lmao

100%. My grandpa is 94 and I spend alot of time with him- I get along so much better with his age group than I do boomers.
Came here to post that exact story. The CEO isn't raising the price because he knows the founders of the company would put a hit out on him.
The price on it will be raised before the ink on his death certificate is dry.

We'll get to 110 before that

4260 calories for one pizza

just cut 500 calories for 9 days after eating it
that's pretty funny

They are also fricking terrible.

Only gains your making eating pizza are flab gains
in America they have to wipe grease off their pizza slices and the bottom of the box is usally soaked in grease
I never noticed they were 4260 calories for a cheese pizza. I'll need to get one of those.
Do you realize how big an 18in pizza is? It's nearly half a meter across
I can eat that entire pizza in one day m8.
it's not that big.
Now I can't eat it in one or two servings though that would be fricked.
What the frick is a meter?
Probably about your height
Weird the pepperoni one is less calories where I would assume it would be more since it is just cheese with added pepperoni
They almost certainly add extra cheese to the cheese one. Whenever you look at frozen pizzas the ones with no toppings are usually more cheesy since there's other flavours on the topping ones
