Costco
If you don’t have a costoc card I highly recommend getting one or find a friend that has one. I don’t know if I would be the person I am today if I had not had a Costco in my life. Costco has a ridiculous return policy, which I do admit I use to my advantage quite often. They give out free samples of food. Go on the weekend there’s a lot more samples but also a lot more people. Costco also has an amazingly cheap food court. Let’s say your too cheap to purchase a Costco card and you don’t have any friends, have no fear. A friend once told me that special things just seem to happen here. When I saw a food court outside of Costco for the first time I became a believer. I’m from all over California and as a religious member of Costco purchaser of bulk items I have only attended Costcos with courts inside. Now some might think that there’s nothing magical about this, well perhaps not, but special, without a doubt.
Eat Costco’s food without being a member. Don’t worry about the member card thing, they NEVER, ask for it at the food court. At Costco one can get a whole meal for $1.50. Friend, I would not lie to you. I know because that’s exactly what I have done, on several occasions. A hot dog or polish dog and a 16 oz drink for $1.50. These aren’t wimpy limp dogs, but could quite possibly be one of the largest dogs I have ever encountered. Not only that but they’re kosher. Not Jewish, that’s cool, I’m not either. If you like sour kraut you have to ask for it when you order. Hot dogs aren’t very exciting to you? Well, they also have large slices of pizza for $1.99 and and whole 18″ pizza for $9.95. Chicken Bakes for $2.69, but I don’t recommend those. They’re usually over done and has a weird creamy filling. Not a junk food person, no worries, there’s a chicken caesar salad for $3.79. Love sugar, but not the fat, sweet. There’s also berry smoothies, mocha freeze, berry sundae, and nonfat yogurt all between $1.25 – $1.55. As for the fat, think yourself thin or exercise but whatever you do, don’t cut back on the sugar. If you want directions or more info here’s a link
I beg to differ, concerning the presenting of a Costco Membership card, when eating in their food court. In the Costco, in my neighbohood in Yonkers, N.Y., everyone MUST show their Costco card in order to gain entry in the front door of the store. Therefore, the food court personnel know that every one of their customers has been ID’d by default. Does your Costco not require that Costco ID’s are presented at the main entrance?
Carol, sorry it took me so long to get back to you but I like to exercise my right to be a lazy bastard. As for presenting a Costco membership card, yes, they do ask for it, at the door. The food court in Hawaii is outside, and no they don’t ask for it there. I, and along with several of my friends are living proof of this. The food court is basically open to the public here. That’s why the Costco here is so special.
I would like to just verify what doodoolicious said about the Costcos here in Hawaii. I do have a Costo membership but often take my kids over to Costco for something to eat. The food court is outside and I have never once been asked to show a membership card to order food there. We’ve gone a few times and ordered a whole pizza to go for $9.99 plus tax and only ten minutes of your time. Definitely a cheap place to eat and the food is pretty good.
