We drove past Costco.. "do you think Costco is busy? It can't be that bad, I see a singular parking space available"

If I made it all the way there I'd at least have to go get a cinnamon roll and coffee. I mean, I'd wait in the car and make him go in. πŸ˜„

I usually get the polish sausage at Costco. Or the veggie dog at Ikea.

The polish sausage instead of the hot dog? I've never tried it! The Costco chocolate cookies are delightful though

It’s the same price as the hot dog! I have no idea how. I really want to try the ridiculous cookie!

Ooh, I might have to try it next time! The cookies are kept in the pizza case so they're all warm and gooey 😍

Terri @terriclarke.bsky.social

The fact that they print the calorie count on the menu makes me second guess the cookie every time. I want the cookie, I just don’t want to know that each cookie has 9million calories, okay Costco?

I've never had them there. When I go I usually enter near the food place on the first floor, get my coffee and cinnamon roll, then chill for a few minutes at one of the tables before shopping.

Yeah but unless I'm taking someone there for the first time, I just go get what I need. I don't do the full store anymore.

He already drove by and said "it can't be THAT busy, I even see a singular parking space available! We may as well go, we probably need a few things" The sound that came out of me was closer to a cackle, than anything else.
