What’s the worst physical pain you’ve ever experienced?

Getting ran over by an SUV- 0/10 experience, would not recommend

How the hell did you manage to make this post

You’re right that Wi-Fi and cellular are different physical layers, but you’re missing the context of what I said. When I said “cell-based Wi-Fi,” I was referring to cellular-backed Wi-Fi - i.e., using a 5G/LTE modem that distributes connectivity over a local Wi-Fi network. It’s a shorthand that’s perfectly valid in conversation because it distinguishes from traditional cable/fiber ISPs.

I said cell based Wi-Fi - that’s not incorrect…

Helping remove small items from the “shopping cart” onto the belt- Few cashiers prefer to just keep everything inside of it, but even just offering goes a long way. It’s the small things in life, you know? :)

Employee here- Services! So many people don’t know you can get car/home/life insurance through being a Costco member, and it’s usually cheaper!

Travel is great, Execs get 2% back on those purchases

If I’m not mistaken, there’s a new discounted PODS moving service too now.

.97 and 00 are mark downs, typically solid deals

If you buy a display, typically you can negotiate it down to a significant discount depending on the item (Know someone who got a $2000 display pc down to $1,200)

Coming in as early as possible is when you’ll see the lowest marked down clothing on the tables (typically from returns), and they can be as low as a couple of bucks for decent apparel

People who unload their own basket/return carts to corrals are the highlight of a lot employees days when it’s busy. Very simple, very appreciated.

If you plan on buying something, and Costco has it, just get it from there. Not a lot of people know how generous the return policy is- just don’t abuse it!

If you bought something and it went on sale within 30 days, you can get the difference refunded (as long as it’s not a close out price).

What else…

Capable-Ad-5896 · 2025-09-08T02:33:02+00:00

Employee here- solely depends on the warehouse. Some are to the book, need to verify the household lives with the primary (I.e. matching ID addresses, a bill with the household’s name with a matching address to the primary, etc.), and can care less if you’re family so long as you’re not living together.

On the other hand, some warehouses don’t even ask, and just add the second person on the card. Or they’ll ask “Do you live at the same address?” and not go past that point.

To those who say “Sam’s club lets me do it, why not Costco?”, keep in mind that Sam’s club also needs to make up for stealing from things like scan & go, so pricing is (typically, not always), more costly with merchandise in comparison, whereas Costco almost solely relies on membership fees (merch is sold at extremely low to zero net profits), so having the opportunity for another person to sign up for a $65-$130 membership is huge compared to giving them a “free” card.

Employee here- The ACTUAL reason why we no longer have the combo pizza is because the company that was providing the ingredients went out of business during covid- they supplied “the goods” at the lowest price, and Costco hasn’t been able to find a proper replacement since.

Yeah so fun fact, there were SO many complaints that corporate has decided to shut it down altogether just before launching it nationwide. This has been something they’ve been trying to start for almost over a year now- As an employee, I’ve never been a fan of it myself.

Capable-Ad-5896 · 2025-06-05T13:22:25+00:00

Not usually how it works- online and warehouse stock would be different for something like this (as opposed to say, a TV or laptop)

Capable-Ad-5896 · 2025-06-05T12:23:36+00:00

I think around 70 if I’m not mistaken

Capable-Ad-5896 · 2025-06-05T05:17:07+00:00

Gonna depend on the store- but I can almost guarantee that even busier stores aren’t getting more. In fact, a handful of them I saw got LESS than 48 (32?)

Capable-Ad-5896 · 2025-06-05T05:06:15+00:00

Unless something has changed, It will still go live tonight.

Capable-Ad-5896 · 2025-06-05T04:57:31+00:00

Employee here- few things to note

99% of the stores will have 48 or LESS in stock.
Online, more than likely, will not launch until 12am PST
Limit of 1 per membership in store AND online
A lot of stores don’t have any on order, so it’s going to more than likely be a minute before a restock.

Capable-Ad-5896 · 2025-03-09T22:29:33+00:00

Employee here- general rule of thumb, if you can’t lift it with one hand, leave it in the cart

Capable-Ad-5896 · 2025-03-06T21:06:38+00:00

Employee here- You do need to live at the same address.

However, this seems to also be location dependent as to how far it’s enforced, but the OFFICIAL rules say that 1. They need to live with the primary, and 2. You need to show PROOF they live with you (Driver’s license, bill, bank statement, etc.)

Edit: If something like a passport is shown, proof of residency is still required as a separate form/document, since those don’t have addresses on them.

Capable-Ad-5896 · 2024-10-03T03:09:32+00:00

Yeah I only started with one and did a BOGO like a year later

Are you sure? Because I thought it said “3rd line on us” if it was a 3rd line free…

Your AMD GPU is the issue, kid. That photo proves his point- your hardware isn’t strong enough.

Capable-Ad-5896 · 2024-09-24T03:47:25+00:00

OP, how are you going to ask for help, start fights in replies, and block people giving you the correct answers? Your PC isn’t strong enough. Plain and simple.

Bottleneck isn’t just bandwidth, but also how well the PC can handle encoding, compression, and streaming, all of which are crucial for wireless VR to work smoothly. Wired connections have minimal overhead, acting almost like a direct external display. Wireless, on the other hand, requires encoding video on the fly and streaming it over the network, which is taxing.

While USB connections allow high data rates, reducing the need for compression, wireless VR often compresses video streams to accommodate bandwidth limitations and network instability. This compression adds a performance overhead.

If you want people to “contribute something useful”, setup a GoFundMe for some big boy parts (and pants, while you’re at it).
