Just wait for Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There’ll be murders.

Can confirm, it was raining outside, 35F, Saturday afternoon and Walmart was full....

Costco was even worse than the grocery store.

You went to Costco on a weekend?

Braver than I.

I usually go during the week. Tuesday morning is a pretty good time. But my wife likes to go, and with her working days and me working evenings, a trip to the grocery store and Costco is what passes for a date these days.

Ah yes married life. We like to go mondays and stop at the corner bar on they home for the 2 for 1 special on burgers.

Married life with kids =  No bar on the way home.

Went 9 PM last night. Grabbed two things and ran to the self checkout. Told the younger guy manning them to have a good night on the way past . Half a beat later his eyes unglazed enough to impolitely tell me to move along and not address him.

I went to Costco and WinCo this morning. I will be sure to avoid stepping foot outside my home for the next six days.

This gif  needs to see more widespread use. Non of the easy to use gif apps for messaging and such have it and it makes me sad.

I went to the grocery store like 3x this weekend, no kidding. Thankfully we have a ridiculous conglomeration of stores near my house — inside a 3-mile radius, we have 2 Publix (like HEB), Sprouts, Super Target, Super Walmart, Whole Foods, Aldi, Costco and Piggly Wiggly...and that’s not counting the small Asian markets or Organic places. So they get crowded, but not terrible.

The only “must avoid” (all the time, not just holidays) on the list is Costco, so guess where the wife wants to go today?

I like Costco, generally, so I’ll deal with the crowds.

Our problem is we could support 3-4 Costcos, but we have one (to serve about 1.2 million people). Compared to about a dozen Walmart Supercenters, at least 5 Super Targets, and 5-6 Sam’s Clubs , just for comparison.

On a normal Tuesday afternoon at 2pm, it looks like Christmas Eve anywhere else.

We have four Costcos in Austin.
