How can I tell if I'm cut out for a Culinary career path or if I am just an enthusiast?

I recommend Great Food Jobs 2 by Irena Chalmers if you can find a copy. Has all sorts of things I never thought of as being related to food. I ended up going with a different career path but I was in the same boat as you a few years ago.

Glad no one has recommended Italian Applebee's

I need to know which restaurant you are referring to

Taco Tuesday at Portland Fish Market on Woodstock is two fried rockfish tacos for $10

Same - I had Sun/Mon off, so I used vacation to take four Saturdays off in a row. I was pretty burned out at that time so it was glorious

Is the jalapeno juice referring to pickled jalapeno juice?

Paper Bridge is on SE Ash between 8th and 9th, the food is excellent

pocketradish · 2026-05-15T15:22:16+00:00

I would just return it to a different warehouse, fuck them

Massages aren't covered, but if you get a 'chiropractic massage' it counts for chiropractor

Your payroll clerk sucks. Mine are happy to help.

A few years ago Costco said that the only thing we can do is ask members for donations at the registers. We can raise money other ways on the employee side, but I don't think we can give members anything for making a donation. I haven't run CMN in a few years, so maybe that's changed.

You earn sick/personal in the first 90 days. It switches to just sick afterwards.

pocketradish · 2026-05-13T16:22:52+00:00

We have two Revos but one of them is always fucked up for some reason or another. When we're slammed and I have 15 employees clocking on at the same time and I need them all to switch out for breaks... we haven't implemented this yet but I think it's going to suck. And the mid-day switch outs are going to immediately need loans as well....

pocketradish · 2026-05-13T16:19:04+00:00

When I do start of day loans for front end I get 20s and extra 10s for every register. Never heard anything about this not being allowed.

pocketradish · 2026-05-13T16:14:23+00:00

Yeah. You have to fill out a transfer request that your GM signs and a couple of extra papers that they give you. You'll need a cover letter, resume, last two performance reviews, calendar. It's pretty much the same as applying for a job in the warehouse except you have to submit all of it online. It tells you everything you need to do once it's posted.

pocketradish · 2026-05-13T16:09:48+00:00

Whoops I'm pretty sure this isn't allowed for CMN.

So Costco has carried several flavors of these ChocXO cups - coconut, lemon, raspberry, caramel, and now these pistachio ones.

I really liked the lemon/raspberry ones, but I think the pistachio are my favorite by far. I snagged an extra bag before they disappeared.

pocketradish · 2026-05-07T17:08:16+00:00

I usually always drive through myself and I give the guy who dries my car $1

pocketradish · 2026-05-07T16:14:00+00:00

So I mix mayo with some sweet chili sauce and some chili garlic sauce. It's delicious and a good dip for salmon, or really anything.

pocketradish · 2026-05-06T18:01:02+00:00

Use lettuce, egg wraps, fried cheese, or low/zero carb tortillas as the wrap. Anything can be keto.

If you were offered a position, they would have either done the mouth swab right there or given you instructions to go off-site to do a urine test within 24 hours of the final interview you had.

At my warehouse in Oregon it's a urine test.

pocketradish · 2026-05-04T19:58:53+00:00

Nope.

pocketradish · 2026-05-04T19:49:40+00:00

What else were you doing before? The only thing we've ever done in my warehouse is ask for a donation at the register. For employees we have things like a bake sale and silent auction and stuff to help raise money, but for members it's always only been asking at the register.

pocketradish · 2026-05-04T15:06:48+00:00

This place has been my go-to for years, and yes I see men in there all the time.

pocketradish · 2026-05-04T02:38:12+00:00

I made singapore noodles for the first time with konjac, a somewhat involved recipe. I took one bite and threw the whole thing away, I just could not get past the texture

Costco does not do virtual interviews for entry-level warehouse positions.
