The hot dog only comes with the drink only water it is served.

OK ..... While you are waiting in line I went and bought a $5 lottery ticket and won a hundred bucks.
Some activities are better than others.

Please post something like this daily! I am cracking up at how so many people have either lost their sense of humor (never had?) Or are that naive!

Just opened a few minutes ago. Sad to report my wife Ethel has been crushed by the crowd and shopping carts. I will report back if I find her.

I’m reading this thread while still in my comfy bed and I’m definitely excited about finally getting a new Costco much closer to home, but happy to go later today or even “horrors” on another day soon because crowds are not my thing. We love Costco! Thanks for the laughs in this thread. Y’all are so fun!

I’m not sure my hubby of 47 years would even notice I’m missing, haha. Good luck!

We were 8th and 9th in line when the doors opened just a few minutes ago. We both got upgraded air in our tires if we buy a new set next week. We also got a secret route map to Costco from any direction. It's too early for the hot dog so we decided to just get the free sample of dog food, very yummy, the free book on affordable cremations, and the crackers with faux lobster.

It's not Black Friday is it ?

I'm celebrating the grand opening by going to the Clermont store after dropping my wife off at the airport. I'm looking forward to going to the new location but staying away for at least a few weeks.

We had a friend who was one of the 1st at Arby’s on 466a grand opening and they received a card for a free classic combo meal every week for a year. BURP!!!

What a night and what a day! It was hot, we got wet, but it was worth every minute of it! The people in line with us were great, except for numbers 3 and 4 who unfortunately sat next to us all night. Numbers 5 and 6 ended up leaving early because of them. We each got a beautiful gold plated charm for being #1 and #2 (see picture). We hardly slept, but just bought a two pack of Sealy pillows that were on sale for $23.99 to replace our current 18 year old pillows, so tonight will be better. We stocked up on all the essentials, including the 30 roll pack Kirkland Signature Bath Tissues ($24.99). We got to taste most of the samples (didn’t see the dog food) and bought two rotisserie chickens ($4.99 each, one for tonight, one for Saturday). When we left the store with our purchases, we realized we did not have enough room in our golf cart for all we purchased. We ended up giving away 28 rolls of toilet paper to 28 total strangers, and kept two for ourselves. My wife went back in the store and is waiting for me to get home, empty the cart, and go back and pick her up. We were too late for the secret map out of Costco, apparently they only gave those out to the first 100 customers leaving the store. I am currently number 17 waiting to make a right turn out of the parking lot. I will keep you posted.

I camped out overnight at the Rose Parade one year. If you haven't experienced that at least once in your life, you do not have a life.
