Costco

[OnTheWayOut]

Another newbie
Easily half the people in front of you either:
A- cant reverse properly to get to that pump in front (most are 2s, 3s are very rare)
B- have you seen how many idiots cant get pumps to work? Its just sad but that is te reason Costco employee run around helping people

Even at a normal gas station 5 minutes per person is super optimistic as people also fumble for keys/wallets/etc and very rarely jump in/out like automatons

Maybe people in the GTA are just dumber than Ottawa. No newbie here, been saving money buying Costco gas ever since they put in pumps. So I know as well as anyone about the wait times, or lack of them compared to your poor estimates.

No I didn't say all the stores are 20mins from my home . Some are . One is 15mins . One is 30 mins . Don't you know how to read .

I'm lucky because I have 4 Costco's to choose from . All within 15 - 20 mins driving distance .

Another contradiction?

It's really gone beyond funny into sad at this point
Stop embarrassing yourself

Gas stations price match? Since when??

Since the dawn of time.... you really never noticed gas stations close together having same prices? Really?

Even 10 years ago they checked for membership cards at the entrance. How did you sneak in? :beguiled:

Many greeters are very lax with card checking
Others are downright anal about it

Oh also, you can always walk into a Costco with no membership to buy stuff like meds (law requires it)

I also said that I could go to Costco , purchase my items plus gas and be home in 2 hours .

Still super unlikely as 40 minutes (your number) are wasted on travel time alone

You can also eat in their restaurant with no membership. Although I do have a card I frequently walk in the exit door to have a hot dog and Diet Pepsi for lunch ($1.60 including tax) before shopping. No one asks for your membership on the way in, and once you're in the store you're free to look around.

Another delusion?
There is nowhere in Canada where you can plot a single point to get to 4 unique Costco with gas all within even a 30 min radius much less a 20 minute one (even assuming the roads are empty of all other vehicles and you speed)

I can show you how to use Google Maps if you would like?

Actually if you live at 941 Clyde Ave, Ottawa, ON, there are 4 different Costco in Ottawa within 16 minutes drive plus another (5th) one in 24 minutes drive in Gatineau, QC. Out of these 4 Costco 2 have gas

The original post was it worth it to get a Costco membership . Many people said yes . Some said no . You said that one had to wait 1 1/2 to 2 hours to get gas . I said that you were full of shit . One person said that it takes all day to shop at Costco . I said no it doesn't and I mentioned that I have 4 stores in my area to choose from and I pick which store to go to depending what I want to purchase . I also said that I could go to Costco , purchase my items plus gas and be home in 2 hours .

No I didn't say all the stores are 20mins from my home . Some are . One is 15mins . One is 30 mins . Don't you know how to read . Please take your meds because I really think that you have a problem by not taking them .

Cant believe how ignorant you are . Cutting and pasting a part of my post . Read the whole paragraph or sentence you try to be funny person .

Wasted travel time ??? Not when I enjoy going to the store and shopping . How much traveling time do you waste going to see your favorite SP . Is that wasted time ? Going from one end of the city to a favorite girl . Is that wasted time to you ? Going any where that takes 5mins or longer wasted time for you ?

I go to the store in Grimsby more than any of the others . Max 1/2 hour traveling time both ways .

Sorry sport . You are out of your league here . Take your meds . Your problem is increasing day by day .

Still waiting 1 1/2 to 2 hrs to fill your tank at Costco . LOL

I know that I said that I was done with this thread but I really had to comment on your stupidity . Have a nice evening sport .

3900 posts and you joined Terb after me . Maybe it's time for you to get a life . You certainly have a lot to say about NOTHING .

That is correct . Walk in the exit door and go right to the food counter or the returns counter . No card is needed to get into the store but you need a card to return something .

That was a lot of wasted time you will never get back.

You don't understand TJ. He wants you to reply like this. He gets off on it, not escorts. So just ignore him. That gets him back the best because he actually hates that.

Also, and just being the mental health advocate bitch that I am, using "meds" as an insult, is more an insult to those who truly suffer mental illness then posting it to the likes of TJ. It is consider offensive language like using the N-word. Just a heads up.

Stopped for gas tonight. I was 5th in line, including 2 cars at the pumps. 8 minutes later I had 70 liters in the tank and pulled away. This particular Costco is beginning construction to expand the number of pumps.

A woman who worked there came up before I pumped and said she was going to time the pump, guess it's something they do from time to time to check pump performance. My pump did 16.6 litres in 10 seconds.

Aw no more delusions?
I was having such fun with your posts

And no there is nothing out of context (anyone can click back to original post duh)
But like most quotes, cutting out the irrelevant part makes the other part much more obvious

Glad that you were having fun . I guess it doesn't take much to amuse you . LOL Are you in line for gas to avoid the morning rush . Duh .

 

[OnTheWayOut]

Stopped for gas mid day at Costco, similar lineup but I was done in 6 minutes. All this time buying gas at Costco is killing me! LOL

BTW, the nonsense that neighboring stations price match is not quite true. Yes, there are a couple stations near Costco that are within 2 cents per litre but they are not top tier gas like Costco. The top tier stations closest to this particular Costco are 6 cents higher. If you want to compare apples to apples Costco gas wins easily.

Before people start trashing top tier gas, I have done work at several gas terminals and expressed my skepticism about top tier gas. I've had it explained to me a few times and it's a real thing, everyone is not getting their gas from the same tanks. While the base gas usually comes from one source and has "some"cleaning additives (Shell is the exception as only they have nitrogen in their gas and their own tank), the trucks then proceed to another tank for cleaning additives. The bottom feeder gas stations get no additional additives, some get a little. Top tier gas stations get the most cleaning additives. Esso, Petro Canada, Mobil, Irving and Costco are the top tier stations in our area, there are others elsewhere in Canada. https://toptiergas.com/licensed-brands/ Most auto manufacturers recommend top tier fuel be used in their models.

omg you are such a tool
"Top tier gas" lol

As near as I can tell, EVERY gas retailer in Canada is a "top tier" gas station (shows 28 of them listed, more than any other country in the world except USA)
And this is going into every small noname brand place you never heard of

Who exactly do you think is NOT a top tier station?

I would say Canadian Tire and Pioneer.

Can’t understand what this thread has to do with a sex review board....I’ll admit I didn’t read all this....did the OP get laid at Costco and I missed it?....

 

[TeeJay]

I would say Canadian Tire and Pioneer.

Pioneer is a budget station and sells gas cheaper than nearly every other retailer around them
Prev poster was discussing the "name brands" who would compete with Costco

There are 28 retailers on the list as certified; there must be thousands of retailers if we count every mom + pop gas station in buttfuck nowhere Saskatchewan


You would need to check a Canadian Tire invoice from your local station to see who is sourcing your fuel
If its a chain like Parkland your gas would still be top tier

What part of "Esso, Petro Canada, Mobil, Irving and Costco are the top tier stations in our area" is hard for you to understand? Everyone else is not top tier. Why would you pay more for inferior gas? I know .... because you don't want to wait 90 minutes! Even though everyone else seems to be able to get gas in 5-15 minutes at Costco. BTW, I went to a different Costco today, a very busy day. Yep, I was out of there in less than 10 minutes.

That list is for the entire country, most of those retailers are not local to us. If you are looking for a tool check your mirror, you post some of the dumbest things I ever read on Terb. This thread is just the latest example. Your mother must be so proud .....

Wow, logic and understanding is really difficult for you, isn't it? If you looked at that list, Costco is listed twice. Sunoco is on the list even though they have all been rebranded as Petro Canada. If you read what I wrote (and actually tried to understand) you would see that I only mentioned the ones in our area. I'm sure there are thousands of retailers, yet only the ones are the list are top tier. Mom and Pops are not ... but you knew that, you are just trolling as always.

Its math and its very simple
In our ENTIRE country there are ONLY 67 supply chains who market 98 brands of gasoline
Of those 67 listed, 28 of them are certified as top tier
So basically half
If you throw away the discount brands and solo mom + pop stores the odds you are buying a top tier is pretty high in our country (compared to say the US)

And as you even point out in your long run on sentence, Sunoco is selling their gas at Petro stations for a decade now
Which is also what Canadian Tire does, resells gas
