I think I have a unicorn Costco in Palm Desert. Unless you drop in on weekends at 1 pm, the crowds are pretty manageable. I stopped at one in San Diego, holy fook. Like almost every spot in the parking lot was full and the inside was like downtown Calcutta. I left with PTSD.
California dreaming. They are opening 2 MORE costcos within 30 min of me... And we already have 3 ... 2 of which are permanent crowded.
The time to go is 6:30 pm on an 8 pm weekday close.

I've never tried the pizza or chicken bake. Costco is so fucking crowded, by the time I'm done shopping, I'm ready to :gtfo:

Maybe the strategy is get a hotdog before for some energy, and refill that soda cup with Pepsi Max to power through the shopping experience.

It is heinous here. My job is flexible, I've gone in the middle of the workday and it's still bad. The only time it's semi-OK is like 45 minutes before they open when they secretly just open.

Go to your nearest 7/11 and get a hotdog, then pump some of the nacho cheese sauce on it. :jimp:
I'm not really a big nacho cheese fan. I'm pretty open on HD toppings but not that. Maybe not all of these at once, but I'd deem at least all the below acceptable. Semi ranked by how important/good they are but I'm flexible.
MUSTARD (yellow or brown)
Onions
Chili
Sauerkraut
Coleslaw
Ketchup
Relish
Pickles/peppers
Cheese

I don't really fuck with mayo or lettuce on a hotdog. In Iceland, they put crushed up Doritos on them which was pretty dece.
I’m a mustard man myself, but onions and jalapeños are also welcome when available.

Relish, chili, and cheese are tier two hotdog condiments. I haven’t had sauerkraut on a dawg, but I love sauerkraut and would try it.

Ketchup is a trash condiment for trash people and belongs on nothing.

It has a place. Fries and rings, ocasional burger.

But if you put it on a hot dog you should have your voter registration pulled because you are a child

So I've had four interviews with Netgear now:

-Recruiter initial call
-Hiring manager
-Other key Director guy for their AV division
-Just met with their global head of sales

The first three calls seemed like an offer was imminent, very much AV industry guys who liked me, got my experience, think I have everything they need (pretty unique experience that aligns super specifically). This last guy asked much more boiler plate type sales interview questions. I am not sure I was salesy enough for him, but I guess we shall see soon.

I think I'll probably :doit: if I get the offer, it's like 30% more money at least, a growing division of the company, the boss bro seems cool, very well regarded in the industry.

I prefer mustard or ranch to ketchup on fries or o rings. But I will Ketchup vs. raw dogging it.

Agreed on mustard and ranch over ketchup on fries and rings. But I do usually raw dog them and tots instead of dipping in anything.

Nice dude. Hope you get it!

Related, opinion on Boston Acoustics stuff? Some CR8 bookshelf speakers popped up for $75 and it seems like a solid deal for them. Same guy has CR9s for $200..

Yep. It starts with a Vienna All Beef dog and steamed poppy seed bun. Then You "drag it through the garden".

I do enjoy Chicago style dogs. Although I’d likely skip the tomato unless it was a little under-ripe. I prefer mine more firm than most of them tend to be.
