People without membership will drive to Costco and brave the parking and whatever else to eat at the food court. It happens everywhere, all the time. It just happens that some Costco food courts are inside the stores, so people those people at those stores have to lie to get in.

Remember, they LOSE money on the food court and that’s by design. They’re not trying to turn it into a profit center. What they’re trying to do it retain it as a perk for their paying members as it is intended.

The bottom line is that Costco either just breaks even or loses money on the food court. It’s intended to be a perk for members, so if non-members are using it, it’s the members who are subsidizing the non-members. Anyone who thinks this change is going to somehow hurt Costco’s business is clueless.

The also lose money on their $4.99 rotisserie chicken. They’re just loss leaders to get you in the door. But as someone mentioned above, their profits come from the membership fees. They only strive to break even on their sales.

I thought it was Caesar dressing. Doesn’t matter to me, I like neither Caesar nor ranch.

Not all Costcos have the same layout. Many have the food courts outside so there’s no need to show a membership card to get inside.

Regarding the memory card in the camera: Yes, the thug knocked the camera out of Ralph’s hand and broke the camera which would not affect the photos already on the memory card. But I doubt his plan was to just leave the remains of the camera there on the ground after disposing of Ralph. The thug’s priorities were…

The reason he won’t be the next Belushi or Farley is that he knows he has mental illness issues and is a addressing them. He is not in denial and from all accounts, he has a good support system. He’s certainly not everyone’s cup of tea, but he seems like a decent guy.

I don’t think so. Yours says 350 feet, mine comes to 184...

I think this is the winner for nearest proximity of a Popeye’s to a Hardee’s/Carl’s Jr. Welcome to Canoga Park, CA...

The best $125 I ever spent was on Cameo. I made a video celebrating the 25th anniversary of the day I proposed to my wife to surprise her, with interviews from friends and news footage from the day. Plus, I’ve been known to get a little sentimental and sappy at times. so as the video is nearing the end, I pop up on…

That describes pretty much every single working voice actor in the business. There’s also the fear that by turning down a job from someone who asks for you that the next time they need someone, they’ll ask someone else.

The first thing I did when I got my Echo was change the activaiton word from Alexa to something else just to ensure that no TV show inadvertently set it off. I was disappointed that I couldn’t pick my own and was instead stuck with choosing from a short predetermined list. I’d had my heart set on “Jehosephat,” which…

I use my smart device a few dozen times a day at home and more and ore people are doing the same. My point is that it would be unrealistic to have a young couple like that, who are both tech savvy, not using a smart device for mundane tasks such as setting reminders and turning lights on and off.

The Echo product placement was a little awkward, but it would have been more awkward had it been a similar, fake product created for the show to serve the same purpose. Yes, I know that if it weren’t for the product placement it wouldn’t have appeared in the first place, but many people do use smart speakers like that…

You know, after watching the original series, and only the original, from it’s debut, I think I’d be happy to see it come back. However, Greg Sanders has to be in charge, Hodges is still in the lab and Super Dave is chief coroner. Nobody else really even needs to come back.

In retrospect, I think there had to be some liberty taken to make Joanna a formidable opponent in the court case. Had she been slinging hash in a diner, it would not have been a difficult decision to award custody to the father based solely on financial security. Sure, it’s quite possible that she was incredibly good…

Yes, I was going to ask why method actors only do method when they’re playing assholes. I thought if it went the other way around, does that mean that Tom Hanks was the nicest man on the planet for the months when he was playing Mr. Rogers? Of course, that’s a trick question since he seems to be that guy in real life…

Exactly. Papa John’s and Domino’s (and Pizza Hut, I guess) are for when you have to feed undiscerning palates, usually children, quickly and easily. We must have ordered Papa John’s four years in a row for my daughter’s birthday parties and never at any other time of the year.

Did they not have money in the commercial budget for Andie MacDowell? Would’ve been nice to see her next to Murray in the bed on the last loop.
