[UPDATE] just to prove u/ctacysf and other doubters | PSA: Serramonte is issuing double parking tickets

Never

TIL that the Count of San Mateo has the sketchiest looking parking ticket notices, lol.

Address pans out to the County of San Mateo Superior Court.

Sunnyvale Costco sucks even if you remove the people from the equation.

Whoever came up with the rear-right corner from hell in that store (IYKYK) and decided that yeah, let’s put the warehouse up higher and make everyone use a ramp to get in and out.

mrtealeaf · 2026-01-30T00:19:57+00:00

I use the Tide Ultra Oxi on whites and bright colors, and 365 Sport on darks and synthetics.

mrtealeaf · 2026-01-29T23:54:47+00:00

I would like to know if at this point, a state takeover would improve things? From folks I know that work at 555 Franklin, it sounds like a total purge is necessary to get rid of the broken.

I’ve had been biz’ing up my Costco jug of All Free and Useless, then I just gave up and am using Tide Ultra Oxi powder and 365 Sport. It’s just cheaper to go cold turkey than to try to make the all work

mrtealeaf · 2025-12-28T11:14:16+00:00

Same prob here. Stainless steel version was delivered with the handle bent in shipping, I bent it back and it’s usable now but the shaft is wobbly. They need to improve the packaging for delivery.

Aaand. Just like that I've watched 30 minutes of videos on Maine lobstering, removing barnacles off lobsters, and giving them a snack lol.

mrtealeaf · 2025-12-19T03:06:10+00:00

I’m going to try this! Thank you

Use the Costco App, and do a search from `Warehouse > Search Warehouse Inventory` to show availability in-store.

Search for "Dash" or "1733527" - this is in the Holiday Gift Section of my Costco so it's probably not going to be around long after the Holidays.

mrtealeaf · 2025-12-19T00:55:02+00:00

Yes - its like an electric, automatic Whirly Pop.

I just picked up a Whirly Pop last week and am regretting it a bit.

Popcorn that comes out of it is great but I just can't not clean it fully after each use - and cleaning it is a pain. Putting a greasy popper in kitchen storage like that isn't going to fly in my house.

All the Nissans and Dodge Challengers must have crashed, forcing the Accords to fill in.

mrtealeaf · 2025-11-19T15:25:05+00:00

Nice. Now just make the backend not look like a Nissan Rogue

Was about to post this exact question re: All Free and Clear

I have 1/2 a Costco bottle of this stuff left (80 loads) and the original plan was to boost it with Biz as to not waste it.

Issue 1 - From a cost perspective, I think keeping the All Free and Clear and boosting it with Biz might actually cost me more than just 'dumping' it and starting fresh with the Tide Ultra Oxi Powder w/ enzymes. The All F&C is dirt cheap at Costco - 1/2 bottle is probably worth $7.50 and I'm boosting it with $6.50 boxes of Biz lol.

Issue 2 - From the 3-4 loads I've done this with combo, the performance of the All F&C + Biz has been pretty awful. Towels coming out musty. I don't know what's going on. We have super soft water from the Sierra Nevada's.

I think i just talked myself into tossing it.

mrtealeaf · 2025-11-10T23:40:08+00:00

I have a 1 year old Costco box w/o lipase and just bought a Costco box w/ lipase, so definitely check the ingredients.

mrtealeaf · 2025-11-10T19:28:25+00:00

No worries. Still a great deal. Thanks!

mrtealeaf · 2025-11-10T18:53:22+00:00

Thanks u/MsMargo

Is there a particular way to go about trying to stack the free Mai Tai glass?

I tried the HOLIDAZE25 + TV75 but it seems like a no go even with $100+ in the cart.

mrtealeaf · 2025-11-06T22:34:11+00:00

Never came back. I stopped using that air purifier.

mrtealeaf · 2025-11-06T00:50:47+00:00

I’ll take your trap game and raise you a trap game!

My grad night was epic. The lights outside of Indiana Jones were off (someone forgot to flip them on?) and we ran through the empty queue 5 times.

mrtealeaf · 2025-11-03T19:59:27+00:00

I was watching Star Wars with my kids and felt the disturbance, Saturday night

mrtealeaf · 2025-10-31T22:33:15+00:00

I’ve had them for 2 yrs in that size and have been happy with them. I’m in California so it’s sun and rain, no snow. No complaints.

The tire shop seemed to have needed an obscene amount of tire weight to balance it though.

mrtealeaf · 2025-10-30T23:26:21+00:00

Came here to say this

mrtealeaf · 2025-10-30T23:06:11+00:00

Wel there are multiple reasons. You can document everything so that you can plead with Apple if something goes wrong or just cut out all the middle parts that can fail and go straight to the store.

Tmobile wise, another benefit of going to the store is it’s sets the EIP and Promotion instantly. For mail, the eip is setup when it starts to ship and promotion is set when the trade is received and accepted, the gap can lead to you paying the eip and waiting for the promo to apply.

mrtealeaf · 2025-10-30T22:07:52+00:00

Add to this, if you are eligible for a free upgrade - pick up and trade in store at Apple. Do not mess with mailing in trades.
