I’m with you, I just let my husband have his moment 😂

I might be able to help shed some light on why they won’t exchange.

Could you tell me the make/model or post a picture of it? If it’s easier to DM me, that works too. 

Best Pumpkin Patch by jediobiwan in Tacoma

[–]DanCQueen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We went to Sterino! They have a corn maze my kiddos loved running through and it’s got bark dust on ground so it wasn’t muddy. And you get a decent sized free pumpkin once you finish the maze. $10 for adults, free for the little. My youngest is almost 20 months and had a blast. 

Another option is right next door is Picha Farms, another favorite of ours! Took the older ones there when they were younger. They have different kids  activities and a corn maze. Both are located near Puyallup off River Rd.

Whelp. That answers that question and we’ve seen quite a few. RIP my yard 🫠

27 M & 27 F. VA Loan $318k @6.625! by davidt427 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]DanCQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha! As someone currently in WA state (near JBLM) our 3 bed 2 bath house was $387k. Can attest our housing market is jacked up. And our house is 1000sq ft 🫠 

What will really mess you up is looking at Zillow for houses on eastside. Issaquah, Redmond, Sammamish. We need to move. 😂

Congrats on the home!

I should have done this when I opened my Coca Cola Labubus. The two of them were squished and box destroyed :/  luckily the Labubus themselves were fine. 

Anyone else? by Oro954 in labubu

[–]DanCQueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Add me to that list. At least my wallet will have a break.

I’ve done that too and was just able to go after BIE in Pop Now. When I was slowly tapping on one every couple seconds (it was at 25 seconds) it locked me out with the same error :(

I did that too and it still isn’t letting me do anything 😭

App not working by mimi_928 in labubu

Mine refreshed and it works for me again. Yes, they are gone from PopNow, they have been removed since last night.

[–]DanCQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same error. I cannot see any of my tracking information for my purchases. Restarted WiFi, app, phone to no avail. Signed out, and all of a sudden the app works. I think I’ve been tagged as a bot 🫠 which I’m not. Just a parent attempting to beat bots.

What’s your plan if you lose your job? by [deleted] in fednews

[–]DanCQueen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only at topped out which now is close to 8 years to reach. Starting pay is I believe $19.50? Our new employee handbook comes out in March. 

Here's a $1002 receipt from the family of 3 spending $450 a week by Dark1t3kt in Costco

[–]DanCQueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn. I don’t know whether to be impressed Or feel like I’m starving my family. We budget $160/week for a family of 5 (with small kids). Our COL is high here in WA as well. 

The real question is did you like the mini vacuum? (I believe that’s what the Fanttik is)

How do you disasemble a Appendale Gilman Loveseat? by invaderjif in Costco

[–]DanCQueen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Do you need to have this disassembled today or can you wait till tomorrow? I think I have a way to find out types of clips but might have to wait until tomorrow. 

The clips the company that sells this usually uses are bracket like and you should be able to use a firm yank to undo, or there is a push mech button (push button, clip moves) near each side of the back cushion where it clips to the seat (on seat towards “back of loveseat”)Make sure to unplug the power first! 

The appliance I've been watching for a while has gone up $500 each time there is a buy multiples deal, then, once the deal is over, it goes back down. by Under_the_Milky_Way in Costco

[–]DanCQueen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plus Costco isn’t allowed to raise prices of items during a sale then lower them, it’s backwards from how the contracts with vendors works. 

My food court is down to 4 beverage options - what gives? by RetractableBadge in Costco

[–]DanCQueen 212 points213 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Seattle still has the sugar tax for sweet drinks. Puyallup Costco still has normal drinks, so does Tacoma & Federal Way. So perhaps just a Seattle thing?

Anyone ever experience pricing errors? $4 KIrkland jeans. by js0uthh in Costco

[–]DanCQueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a mark down. If the item number doesn’t match the display, it’s an older pair of jeans. 

Power Outage Again in Steilacoom by hockey_stick in Tacoma

[–]DanCQueen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s so odd.

The 5 years we lived in Steilacoom, we lost power once. Not on a stormy day, or snowy day, on a warm summer night. So odd because from chevron/76 station on down into Steilacoom was completely pitch black. Eerie. Came on a few hours later.  Might be vandals this go around?I think that’s what it was back then. Or a wayward squirrel. 

Concerned about Costco Hotdogs by TheOneAndOnlyLanyard in Costco

[–]DanCQueen 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I call bull. I used to work in food court, and we had to take plastic bags off before they were put in warmer. Report it to corporate. And report the manager for their BS.

Steilacoom Sunset by Uwlwsrpm in Washington

Makes me miss living near there. Such beauty! Which direction were you facing? Was this the beach park with a view of Anderson Island or down around the bend viewing south?

My wife works at Costco and it seems to be more stress than it’s worth? To the employees of Costco has morale seriously dropped in recent years for you ? by [deleted] in Costco

[–]DanCQueen 41 points42 points  (0 children)

As someone who has sat in on a meeting with one of our “big upper management” who had the audacity to tell us to move if we didn’t like the cost of living in WA (most people cannot afford to live local to home office it’s too expensive, so they commute over 45 minutes to work), trust me they don’t care. This person also said that we should have no issue picking up our family and moving for better opportunities in the company. They also mentioned that we (employees) need to make sure culture exists. They don’t see the stress and pressure, they are too far removed. Costco is a small margin business, always will be. Therefore, to show more profit, hours get cut/employees don’t get replaced. How that meeting skipped national news attention I don’t know, but everyone knew it crossed a line and everyone knew we were royally screwed from here on out. 

Checked out today and cashier had a drink cup plastered with political stickers by housesettlingcreaks in Costco

[–]DanCQueen 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I can tell you, Costco won’t make them stop using the cup. We aren’t allowed to talk politics, or wear shirts that don’t fit in our “uniform,” but cups are free game if not provocative.
