They used to only be Amex and debit. In 2016 they kicked Amex to the curb and went Visa.
Then memory fails. I must have used debit before the switch.
Twice I’ve had the night before text ‘Don’t bother tomorrow, we good’.
So don’t give up hope.
I made it to 54. When I got called I was just placed on standby, and they ultimately didn’t even use me

That’s morning. Forget it. An hour or so before closing it’s relatively slow.
I’m pretty sure I have never ever accepted a sample when offered.
I’ve been to Costco nearly every week for the last 15 years and have never once had a sample.
I’ve been tempted.
I’m not really there to “shop.” I have a list. I just want to get my stuff and get out.
Yeah that’s secret number two: have a plan and stick to it.
I long ago decided not to be the fat guy eating samples at Costco.
Secret number three: shank or be shanked.
If I show up to jury duty with a maga hat on, will I be released or promoted to foreman? This is rural Ohio.
Might end up a circuit court judge.

If I went Monday, I am one thousand percent sure I would see someone returning a just-purchased large screen tv and absolutely lose my mind.

Then how do you know what to impulse buy?

That’s going to be the biggest bargain.
