Thread 21543873

why does costco US keep pushing shitty sandwiches, the shitty nu-chicken bake, and shitty salads while costco CA gets tendies and fries/poutine? they'd sell an unreal amount in the US, and they used to sell buckets of chicken wings apparently? no combo pizza, onions for the hotdogs are a rarity and the meme cookie isn't that good either. costco needs to go the disney route and just start increasing membership costs to price out some of the poors.
i'm only 2 hours from the closest costco on the border i kinda want to make a trip up there just for the tendies what other shit do you leafs get up there that we might not have?

>>21543873 (OP)
I want to know why they can keep adding bullshit but can't bring back the combo pizza or the polish dog.

>>21543873 (OP)
i'd fuck this up

2.59 slice??

>>21543873 (OP)
the tendies look pretty good too. just sell these by the bucket w/fries they'd move just as much as the pizza does

>>21543873 (OP)
pretty sure US costcos don't have fryers, kinda hard to serve tendies and fries without them

>>21543885
brilliant observation there buddy. yes, it would require installation of fryers. i'm so glad we could work that out.

it haunts me

>Individual slice of 'za is $2.59.
>Whole pie is $12.99.
Huh? Why would anyone ever get a single slice? It's close to a dollar more per if you buy them individually... what the fuck.

>>21543890
these were okay but i think they serve the exact same purpose the cookies do, which is exclusively to be cooked frequently to almost constantly put out the scent of them to lure people in to eat at the food court.

>>21543892
the individual slices are bigger than the slices they cut the whole pies into. the whole pies are cut into 12 slices the single slice pies are cut into 6 slices.

>>21543873 (OP)
the tendies are actually pretty good. but yeah this looks about identical to the costco near me.

I'm probably not gonna get it again because the hot dog/pizza price is too attractive but it's a pretty tasty sandwich

>>21543873 (OP)
Same reason why Costco membership is cheaper in many non-USA locations: competition.

USA costco is strong and established, while Costco in other nations have to compete with many of the local corporations. That's why Costco has nicer things in non-US locations to attract more shoppers.

USA shoppers will come to Costco even with shit food court options, so Costco doesn't give a shit. Food court items don't even make them much money so why give a fuck. They will put only 2 workers in rush hour because it's a loss for them anyway.

>>21543910
imo just like the other sandwiches it was just okay, the one that had the pepper jelly was the best of the ones i've had

>>21543890
Man, those were good.

>>21543873 (OP)
Canada still has the Polish sausage.
Fucking Costco USA dropped those back around 2018.

The shrimp katsu burger is great

>>21543873 (OP)
costco is a supermarket why are you eating at the supermarket and complaining it's not a full restaurants menu? do you live in a corn field with no other food options?

>>21543873 (OP)
>they used to sell buckets of chicken wings apparently?
I occasionally buy their premarinaded chicken wings/legs and they're pretty banging
Bummed I never got them in a bucket like the degenerate fatass I am

>>21543873 (OP)
canuck here, I'd trade the tendies for churros or the chicken bake any day. the poutine is mediocre too

we got montreal smoked meat sandwiches now though, haven't tried it though

This. I at a Costco this morning, as I was leaving I saw this beast sitting eating that slop at 10AM.

>>21545413
what did you buy

>>21543873 (OP)
The hotdogs really ARE actually that size

>>21543892
>Why would anyone ever get a single slice?
because sometimes you just want a slice and you don't want to carry out a huge pizza box with your already large haul?

i wish some of the costcos near me sold the supreme pizzas, my dad used to buy a pizza practically every weekend between us, and even later we would just laugh at each other as we ate cold pizza that we didnt finish

>>21546881
that looks like it's about 10" long on my screen

>costco needs to go the disney route and just start increasing membership costs to price out some of the poors.

The amount of arbitrage pools and Bubba taco shop/restaurant wholesaling is insane— it's overcrowded, and depopulating the low end will only increase gas sales' margins, now that people can actually reliably always go there to fill up during business hours.

>>21547233
>it's overcrowded,
It's bad store hours. They need to open earlier and stay open later.

>>21545488
Cookies and cupcakes that I mostly ate later that day lol

Only 10lbs to hit my goal weight ;_;

I don't know how the workers are constantly behind and stressed out. The machines do all the work for them. The incompetence is impressive.

I have relatives visiting at the end of the month. What pre-prepared Costco foods should I pick up and try to shamelessly pass on my own cooking?

>>21543873 (OP)
poutine sucks and chicken tenders are for autistic children
Don't @ me nerdball ahh canucks LOLbnaooo0o0o0o

>>21547274
Costco food court doesn't make much money so managers intentionally under staff them

>>21543873 (OP)
I'm a proud Patriot citizen of the United States of America and I would get down on my knees and fellate a cosco CEO to get poutine permanently added to the Costco food courts in my area. I only go to Costco once every couple months, but I would get a poutine every time. I generally hate canada and canadians but I don't understand why poutine isn't more popular here, it's the perfect sloppa meal.

>>21546920
That sounds like a great memory, maybe someday they’ll come back

>>21547377
>What pre-prepared Costco foods should I pick up and try to shamelessly pass on my own cooking?
I’ve read that the meatloaf is good (haven’t tried it myself) and it’s been a while but the chicken pot pie is good

>>21543873 (OP)
Are you seriously asking why the canadian branch is selling things that are popular with canadians but the american branch isn't?

>>21549237
are you trying to imply chicken tenders aren't popular with Americans?

>>21543877
>>21543873 (OP)
I had a slice at 199 a bit a go but they where huge for slices. one slice there is the same as a place that sells you a slice at 4.99 elsewhere. I have to assume that they use some kind of cheese crumble instead of pure mozza at that price point, but it was good and filling, made me sleepy.

>>21543892
>only a dollar more for individual
thats an amazing deal compared to most pizza by the slice, which is something like 50% more expensive or worse.

STOP GLAZING THIS GAY FUCKING BRAND YOU SHEEP

costco is founded by, owned, and ran by southern california jews.
