It’s that time again, time to spread the love with some letters of things I only wish I had the nerve to say.
A special Saturday edition courtesy of my exhausting trip to Costco!
Dear Costco,
I suck it up and pay for the privilege of shopping in your warehouse. I’m over that. I accept the fact that each and every time I spend ridiculous amounts of money on “Value” size cereal, bags of apples so large only deer could get through them before they rot, and crates of toilet paper so large it blocks my view out the back of my SUV. I understand that there are no bags. I withstand both the cold and the warehouse atmosphere, then stand in line for 15 minutes playing the “which line is the fastest” game? Now. You have gone and introduced the self check out. Is this not the final indignity? Please! If I am going to drop 300 bucks for 1 visit can’t you spare just 1 lousy staff to check me out? Create a job, keep a shopper happy. Sigh.

Wondering What Happened to Customer Service.
Dear Collector of My Garbage
Yes you, Mr.Garbage Man. Although I truly appreciate that you take away all of the stink that has gathered up in my home over the last 8 days or so, there is one thing that is kinda driving me crazy. I do not appreciate it when you take my brand new Garbage can and toss it 5 feet after it has been emptied.
I know, I get it, it is probably mundane to put it back on the curb where you found it. But here is the thing, chasing that baby down the hill I live on as it gently rolls at a speed just s l i g h t l y faster then I can trot in my “fashion before function” boots….it’s getting old.
Oh and thanks for the whistles bub, sadly the cat calls are sometimes good for my ego. Hey,if you think I’m so hot, couldn’t you just do a girl a favor and return her garbage pail to the curb?

very helpful information!
Self checkout at Costco??? That’s terrible…who wants to check out a cartful of stuff! Not me!
Costco is one thing I don’t do, because I live in the city. But I’ve gotta ask – won’t the self check out be near to impossible with those giant items? Damn you Costco!
Maybe the trash man is reading this and laughing and saying maybe you should start tiping me to leave it back on the curb for you. But, maybe not because I like whistling at you and calling cat calls sometimes to a hot girl with high heels. HA HA! HAVE A BLESS SUNDAY!!!

I loathe checking myself out and bagging! I will even pay more just to not bag my own stuff!
my dh loves self check outs. It must eb a man thing to be in charge of checking out your own stuff…I bet a man came up with that idea at costco.
I on the other hand enjoy being waited on in any fashion.
and you with the fashionable boots again…lol! you make me laugh!
Once my Costco membership expired I didn’t renew it. I couldn’t handle the 30 minute check out lines anymore!
I love Costco’s self checkouts. Granted, I will be behind a self checkout virgin, tapping my foot and shooting daggers through them, and when they finish (after 7 hours trying to scan five things) they will look for the ‘cash slot’ which doesn’t exist, hence the ‘Credit or Debit Only’ sign, and I will scream, “Just give me the effing cash, I’ll put it on my card, you keep the $4…really!” I even heft my own cases of water over the scanners to save time. You’ll get used to them, and then you will love them like I do.
Costco has just landed on our shores. But Im sure living in the middle of nowhere will mean I do not get to enjoy this phenomena. Not a huge fan of self checking either – though I will do it if its going to be quicker.
