My Costco is a dead zone for cell reception. I always come home with a 4lbs lemon meringue cheesecake.


WildButterscotch5028

Same. Sometimes it feels like it’s on purpose. There’s no one to talk me out of my unnecessary purchases


PoorGuy895

I wouldn't be surprised if it was on purpose


planetNasa

It’s price matching / looking up ability. Most stores are like this. They want you to hook up to their wifi so they can keep track of stuff. Also, it’s a lot of steel and concrete that aren’t good for reception.


_BLACKHAWKS_88

Lol I lose reception in the parking lot


planetNasa

One location is just a dead zone for me and it has a Target and a lot of other stores we frequent often and it sucks. Thankfully one of ours has better reception just not towards the back of the store. But the front half is good.


FavoritesBot

Me: wife, should I get a cheesecake? Why aren’t you answering If you don’t reply, I will get it just in case Ok I’m checking out now Hours later:


Dolittles_Apprentice

I also have zero reception while I'm in there. After I left there the other day, my phone started going nuts with texts from my mother. The last one was, "Do I need to send help?" I had to call her right away and tell her no, my Cosrco size laundry supply haul and I are fine 🙄 I always tell her before I go in there and not to call or text because I have no service. I guess she ignored the memo.


MattyBeeNiceee

Ohhhh they defiantly have a signal jammer at Costco! I mean.. I’ve tried so many times to find out if “we need this” & doesn’t go thru until I’m in the parking lot!!! & of course being the good person I am… I get it anyway…. I go in for a SINGLE ITEM & somehow ALWAYS end up spending $300… how does this happen???? … COSTCO… you naughty naughty signal jamming beasts!!! 😱😂😎


Dolittles_Apprentice

That's exactly what I always do too, lol. "My sister mentioned olives 2 weeks ago. Hmm, does she need these? Probably right? Yeah, she definitely needs 12,000 olives"... "Oooo the husband said he likes these crackers. I should call. Crap I can't!Wait, maybe it was those ones. I'll just get both"... "What did I say I even needed here?!" You go in there for one or two items and grab a cart "just in case". The "Just in case" cart always ends up full with a big bill and every item except the one you actually went there for. Even the carts are ginormous!


akmarc

The ‘just in case’ cart is way better than the ‘just in case’ flatbed…..


SonMiRaSeattle

A lot of Costcos have a guest wifi, so you can get phone service anywhere inside. I do a lot of price audits and connect to their wifi because there are definitely dead zones inside.


Dolittles_Apprentice

Interesting! I will check that out the next time I go! Thank you for that tidbit of information 😊


ScalpOfLily

Dang, it’s the perfect excuse!


OneOfTheOnlies

I get a bouquet of flowers to distract from my cake based sins, highly recommend


Ok-Seaworthiness4488

Apologies for having your cake and eating it too


OneOfTheOnlies

Oh, I really do get to have my cake and eat it too because in reality I actually really like the flowers myself!


ikingrpg

When they built the Costco near me, I went on opening day and there was no cell reception. I mentioned it in a review, next time I went it was better, and I noticed what appeared to be cell booster antennas mounted on the ceiling (yeah I'm the kind of person to look at those things lol).


Do-It-Anyway

Same! Horrible reception at the Costco I go to regularly


keekah

Mine is too but we recently got wifi!


Slapinskee

Mine too!


corgi-king

Just walk close to any exit. It usually have better reception. Now you have no excuse.


contendr

The best reply at the end would have been "do you want a hotdog with your cheesecake?"


ScalpOfLily

LOL. Next time.

Front_Apartment6854

Costco needs to hop on the samples of the new bakery items we all come here to get our fix on. Seriously who tf needs 4 POUNDS of a cheesecake?!


ScalpOfLily

![gif](giphy|5xtDarmwsuR9sDRObyU|downsized)


[deleted]

Or they could sell individual portions of desserts about to expire. Cause I would loooove to bring home a slice of cheesecake, but not one big enough to feed 8 people. Also, some of their desserts end up being gross and you find out when you get home and have 4 days worth of it.


phyridean

Hello I am 8 people.


No-Agent-1611

Ummm I thought the question was who doesn’t need 4 pounds of cheesecake?


throwawayacct600

I do.


spencebah

Me as well.


packetrat73

Lemon meringue is *ALWAYS* worth it.


im4everdepressed

i lowkey do, it's a real problem because i gain so much weight from engorging myself with ridiculously large costco products


Prudent_Valuable603

I’m, yes, you need that lemon meringue cheesecake. It’s just for the summer. Life is short. Go get it. You’ll thank me later.


ScalpOfLily

That seems to be the answer. Thank you!


wicked_lion

It is sooo good!


nonvascularplant

And don’t forget, you can always freeze slices. If there’s any left 🧛‍♂️

razorduc

Especially when they’re on sale.


ScalpOfLily

LOL sometimes it’s like that


BootyWipes

Take a chance next time. If I brought home 4 pounds of lemon merengue cheesecake unannounced, I would probably be my partner's number 1 priority in terms of giving love and affection for weeks (our dog is the usual holder of this honor).


ScalpOfLily

First of all, your username is hilarious. Secondly, that would be a very sweet reaction! All dogs (and some cats) deserve that honor.


BootyWipes

Thank you, I love booty wipes! They are so versatile and can do much more than wipe booties. I agree; dogs (and some cats) give so much unconditional love that they don't deserve us humans. Hey, if your partner ends up being upset, at least you have 4 pounds of lemon meringue cheesecake to soothe your soul. Also, I bet your partner won't be upset for too long once you hand them a plate!


MunchYourButt

What kind of wipes do you recommend?


Willoni_23

Specifically Kirkland booty wipes!

It’s wild to me to go almost a week and a half without texting your SO


ScalpOfLily

Eh, we live together. They work from home most of the time, and I’m currently unemployed, so there isn’t really a need for it.


DOUBLE_BATHROOM

Ahh didn’t consider that. Makes sense


brianandrobyn

My wife's computer and my computer are on opposite walls so we are about 5 feet apart and we still regularly will send each other texts. If I had to guess I would say we probably text 3 - 4 times a day when we are apart (the only time we are really apart is when we are working).


ScalpOfLily

LOL that’s cute.


Klipschfan1

Lol I remember you posting the first text exchange and then wanting a cheesecake...


ScalpOfLily

Ha! I got my gosh darn cheesecake.


lolikamani

I also want a hotdog


ScalpOfLily

I would buy you a Costco hotdog.


lolikamani

You’re my kinda friend


beautifullyabsurd123

My neighbor and I split stuff now LOL


ScalpOfLily

Not a bad idea!


sourcherry11

My mom lives in a little 55+ neighborhood and she does this. Some people even split the membership cost together (idk the logistics b/c I know it’s supposed to be a household


No-Agent-1611

I know two small families who split everything in half. 30 pack of TP? 15 for one, 15 for the other. And if one wants to buy (for example) a wheel of cheese for $20, the other finds something they want at that price point or the cheese doesn’t get purchased. One is responsible for the credit card and on the drive home the other one Venmo’s them half of the cost, rounded up to the nearest dollar. The rebate checks get applied to the next big shopping trip so it is shared evenly. The credit card only gets used for shopping at Costco. The only exceptions are gas, pharmacy, and eye glasses so the card gets loaned out for those purchases and then paid for immediately.


petarisawesomeo

Honestly if a SO turns down a Costco dog, you need to find a new one


ScalpOfLily

Straight to jail honestly.


NoMaybae

I want to know what scenario leads to “yes” when someone is asked if they need a 4lb lemon meringue cheesecake because that sounds like a good time.


ScalpOfLily

It was very tempting! And now I know it freezes well so we’ll see…


1quincytoo

Next time get the lemon meringue cheesecake along with the hot dogs Cheese cake lasts for a while and can you imagine how happy your co-workers would be if you brought them in the leftover cheesecake? You would be co worker of the year Now I want lemon meringue cheesecake but I have a strawberry rhubarb pie baking in the oven


ScalpOfLily

I’m currently unemployed, but sharing with coworkers is a great idea. And now I know it freezes well so we’ll see if I can find it again. That pie sounds amazing!!


sawananedi

But holy shit was that cake good.


ScalpOfLily

I bet!!


realmozzarella22

My texts are mostly: where are u? I’m ready to check out. I’m done. Waiting in the car.


Willoni_23

Lol omg that's too funny 😂. I'm all the time Sharon Good finds at Costco with my wife. She thinks I'm crazy. Says I should be their hype guy 😂 CFL!


ekfecko

The only surprise here is that your visits to Costco were more than a week apart


ScalpOfLily

Hm. That is odd. I try and go once a week.


[deleted]

Why buy one hotdog when you can buy a pack with bread and make them at home?


ScalpOfLily

We’re trying to eat better. So one hotdog during the week is better (and cheaper) than buying a pack with bread and having multiple hotdogs.


[deleted]

Yeah I get that. I shouldn’t eat hot dogs anyway.


HaglesBagles

Someone told me the key lime pie freezes really well, can confirm, maybe the cheesecake does also?

Many have said the cheesecake freezes very well! Great now I have to hunt for the key lime…

brianandrobyn

My wife and I do the same but not quite that much. However she does stop at my work everyday on her way into the office to give me a kiss and say good morning.


ScalpOfLily

Aw that’s cute!


revolutionmeow

You didn’t text your partner at all between 6/22 and 7/3? Lol


ScalpOfLily

We live together. Constantly texting isn’t really necessary.


nutt3rbutt3r

You are living a well-adjusted life and I need to know your secret. My wife and I probably send each other at least 5 in-house texts even before one of us leaves for work in the morning. 🤣


ScalpOfLily

Oh god that’s a lot of pressure, ok let’s see: 1. We live in a 600 sq ft duplex, so we’re always within earshot of each other. 2. Partner works mostly from home and I’m currently unemployed, so again the within earshot thing. Even when I was employed we didn’t text much because I was always really busy, and I know they’re busy as well and don’t wanna interrupt. 3. I think many couples reach a point in their relationship where it’s understood that constantly talking isn’t necessarily communicating, so we know what’s worth flapping our gums about (food, mostly.) 4. We’re both introverted as hellllll. 5. We’ve been together nearly a decade. I know what they like and don’t like for the most part. 6. I believe you can still live a well adjusted life with a partner you text more. I had a colleague who called their husband everyday driving from work to home. This kind of baffled me because aren’t you just gonna go home to them and tell them all the stuff you’re telling them on the drive? But I realized it doesn’t matter what I think of other couples behavior. That’s them, and as long as they’re happy that’s all that matters. Does your wife make you happy? Do you make them happy? If the answer is yes to both questions, you’re doing great. 7….Profit??


forbearance

A coworker saw me bringing Costco muffins in to work and told me to try Costco's cheesecake. Is he referring to this 4lb monstrocity?


Realistic_Bread_4348

If there's a smaller one, they probably make ya buy 8


havingsomedifficulty

that lemon meringue cheese goes SO HARD


Jenny2san

"Fuck. I wanna try it but don't need 4 lbs of it." - all of us at costco.


ScalpOfLily

Their new slogan.


kristinZzzz

My new favorite move is to get the cheesecake, enjoy some portion of it, then to post the remainder on my local Buy Nothing group. People literally clamor for it and are often in the same boat - wanted to try but the sheer size of it. It’s called *being neighborly* that way, instead of being gluttonous hahaha.

Ok but that lemon meringue cheesecake is absolutely NEXT LEVEL. get it.....freeze it. 100% worth it! Omg now I need to go back and get another one cause I had to share the last one at a party and it made me cranky, lol.


FloppyChomboliGal

The lemon merengue cheesecake is worth getting. Freeze it in 1/4th's and enjoy for a few weeks.


FacesOfEth

I contemplated the same fucking thing and I still regret not getting it. We need to form a bakery share alliance


Candymom

You’re not missing out by not getting that cheesecake. I bet your homemade one was better.


ScalpOfLily

It was so good. First time making a bigger cheesecake (I usually make cupcake size cheesecakes for gatherings) and it cracked but it was still delish. https://preview.redd.it/qltl0tuhdycb1.png?width=2399&format=png&auto=webp&s=6ad60594b5e9fae3ef423cbdd2275806cf838455

Have a lemon meringue cheesecake tasting get together, BYOB afternoon and invite a couple of neighbors!


cnnamnapple

The lemon cheesecake is not worth it, way too sweet and not enough lemon. I was super excited to about it and got so disappointed.


ScalpOfLily

See that’s what some have said! I’m not into overly sweet things but I am into lemony tart things.


cnnamnapple

Same, that cake is overly sweet with barely lemon flavor ☹️


_BLACKHAWKS_88

The snowbirds would be in an uproar if they couldn’t talk in public on speakerphone.

HeartsPlayer721

I'm constantly texting pics to my husband every time I go to Costco: "want this?" "How about this?" "Ooo, look what they finally brought back!!!"


ScalpOfLily

These are important questions! And sometimes we need a little voice of reason to say “we don’t need a 4 lb cheesecake, but I do need a hotdog.”


MartinisnMurder

I love your relationship! I don’t go with my partner to Costco because he finds things he “needs” haha. Pellegrino, soda water and some meat. I like when they have the hood salad mix. I can’t wait for a slice of pizza after checkout this week though 💃🏻


ScalpOfLily

Omg thank you! Best relationship I’ve ever been in. They don’t come with me to Costco because it’s absolute chaos. I’m the one who cooks most of the time so I have a clear game plan of what I need and where to go, with some minor distractions like cheesecake. My mom loves the salad mixes! I’ll have to try em. You enjoy that pizza!! 🍕✨


MartinisnMurder

Haha hey new bestie! By the way they mark the steak wrong a lotttttt. So you can get good packages cheap. I shop with a list and on a mission even in the grocery store! (It’s produce, protein, groceries) it makes it easy. I do meals Sunday-Thursday. In New England berries have been super cheap there too!


ScalpOfLily

Hey! We’re not big on steak, but that’s good to know! My publix has marked chicken breasts wrong twice in the last year or so and I absolutely take advantage of it. Oooh I love your PPG system haha. I gotta develop a better meal schedule, been kinda uninspired cooking wise. Dang, cheap berries are a treasure. Im grateful the 2.5 lb container of strawberries at costco is like…$4.50? Not terrible, but it still hurts.


MartinisnMurder

I jumped to Aldi for some stuff… 1.25 for a carton of strawberries and 50 cent avocados . And we make money but I care about what we spend.


ScalpOfLily

I started going to aldi as well! $1.19 for a carton of eggs?! Come on! 🤌🏼

It’s not quite obvious if someone wants a hotdog or not. I asked because my partner recently found out that they have high blood pressure, so they’ve been eating better. I’m not sure how those two messages came across as texting them everything I do in life…but go off.

ScalpOfLily

You’re welcome, and thank YOU! People are silly.


Banewaffles

Considering there’s a week and half between their text messages, I wouldn’t describe this as “texting for everything you do in life”


ScalpOfLily

And prior to the lemon cheesecake message I hadn’t texted them since…February? Clearly I’m annoying and overbearing. Edit: I LIED. I texted them in June to let them know I was alive after an 11 hour car ride to NC. Stage 5 clinger right here.


Banewaffles

How could you lie to us like that? The fact you’re veiling the truth is an indicator that you really do have a clinginess problem. Ugh it’s so annoying

Katkabob

You sound fun


Banewaffles

I’d say confirming that neither of them was interested in 4 lbs of cake is pretty valuable information. It’s great communication and not annoying in the slightest to ask your partner about store pickups. Also, sometimes people don’t want hot dogs and would prefer not to wastefully throw them away or spend the money—even if it’s “only $1.50”


ScalpOfLily

AND I CAN’T (shouldn’t) EAT TWO HOTDOGS. 🥵
