Also worth remembering the privilege it takes to enter a Costco - you need to buy their stupid membership card, and now scan it every time you enter. Never sat right with me.
Can't even share one card between all your buddies anymore since the scanners show the picture of the card holder. Total shit
Being in Blue Man Group costume 24/7:
Pros:
Saves on shampoo and conditioner
Being able to share a Costco member card
SPF 30+ so sun safe
Conversation starter
Cons:
Being blue (da ba dee da ba di)
Time spent doing paint could be used for posting
4 pros vs 2 cons, I rest my case.
SPF 30 isn’t sun safe where I live lol
Just mix higher SPF sunscreen into the paint, ezpz. If it makes it too pale, then add in some blue pigment.
Skip the paint just put some blue dye in the sunscreen and slather it on
Idk I've been getting away with it
I tried with my dad's card and they stopped me last week. Far as I've heard my area was a testing location for the advanced scanners
It's a capitalist solution to a capitalist problem - the problem of accessing the wholesale pipeline. It's obviously not this anymore anyway, but that's what the membership is for. You're buying at the "convenience store" level, but without the volume that's what the membership makes up for. Using Costco as your distributer is still a thing in rural areas, esp in Washington. Last time I was near Mt. Rainer there was a convenience store in the town that was clearly breaking up Costco packs, but they were like 1 of 3 places you could actually buy stuff.
You also generally need a car to shop there
