Except at mine there are a billion people in line and after you pay for your hot dog you have to wait in another line to pick it up even though the hot dogs are DIRECTLY BEHIND the person you just gave your money to. The cash wrap workflow was designed by a three-legged donkey. Actually that’s not fair to donkeys. Donkeys are great.
I just have a self-serve kiosk at mine. Scan the Costco card, punch in my order, wait for number to be called. Really fast even when it’s packed.
Weird. I was there a few weeks ago and ordered/got my food within like 6 minutes tops. And it was a very busy day there. Could barely even get a parking spot.
Costco Japan isn’t much better.
Once I got a chicken bucket and was told to wait for them to finish cooking. When they did put a bucket out the lady said it was for someone else before me. No one came for it. She put a second bucket out and it was also for someone else and no one came for that one either.
Finally, my bucket was ready and I took it, leaving two rapidly-cooling buckets of chicken sitting there with no owner.
huh?
I'm guessing, it's a parody. There's a couple which has been posting pictures like this to the internet, but it's normally some amazing scenery from where they've travelled to. It's always the woman in the center of the shot, dragging her partner along who's taking the photo. I'm guessing, it's trying to say that a hotdog stand is an amazing place to travel to...
Wow that's an old photo. They still have the combo pizza. Memories
The background character steals the show for me
Give the pretty girl a damned hotdog, man!
“Hey, can you give us TWO churros? It’s our anniversary.”
Why does it look like she has claws?
