But it stays in there and collects dirt and dust over time that gunks up the
lock, unlike a dry lubricant.

Her bedroom (as I understand it) has two entrances - one from outside,
one from inside. And naturally, she doesn't want to leave the OUTSIDE
door unlocked.

True, but put a wet key into a lock with graphite and it will gunk up
too. I have both but the WD40 always seems to work best. Maybe the
pressure blows out old gunk? I don't know.

Some years ago, there was an elderly lady here that died 1 foot away from
her door in a fire because she couldn't get out. She also had one of those
needs a key from both sides type of lock. Very sad.

Exactly. You scope out how many people, how much stuff and you
accept that or you look for another line.

That takes nerve. If you weren't back before it was your turn
to check out, maybe. I wouldn't think twice about someone going
back for another item assuming they're quick.

I'm glad you were able to get back in there, that was ridiculous.

I don't usually have any drama going on at the store, some people
might be annoying but not outright rude like these people.

Good for the cashier. Some time ago I was in the express checkout line
to pay for a box of berries. There are two guys ahead of me, one being
check out and the other, and 5-6 people behind me. A woman snuck up on
my left, reached over and put something down in front of me.
I said "Excuse me?" and she said she only had one thing and was in a
hurry. I told her I had one thing and I was in a hurry, and the people
behind me only had a few things each. She asked "Can't I go ahead of
you? " ...... "No".

I don't think she knew at first what was going on. People must
have started making a fuss after we left.

That's just weird. The time to ask was before she just barged
ahead of you. People.

I'm surprised that somebody doesn't get killed at our Costco. Our Costco is not laid back. It's a giant rat race and probably has 2 or 3 times the action of any other Costco in the nation. Going to Costco can be an ordeal. I sure wish our Costco was like yours. That would be just great.

I heard of a technique to apply when someone jumps the queue to join a
friend in front of you. Just move in front of them both as long as they

Who? The webmaster that includes 28 client-side scripts in that link?
 
Not a record, as I've seen up to 40 scripts. Not only should they not
be allowed to breed, they should be culled from the herd, tout de
suite. ;)

Wow, that's too many people for me. I'm a crowd avoider. We don't
usually go when we know it's going to be busy like first day of
coupons like today.
 
Things must happen but I've never seen it for myself. My Costco is
busy but I've seen busier and I don't like it.

Yes, it's policy at all stores here. All food items that leave the
store never go back onto the shelf. It's less liability to donate it
"in good faith" or throw it away.
 
I can picture somebody like Kuthe canning rabbit and deer turds and
then putting a black eyed peas label on it and returning it to the
store. That would be really bad publicity for the store, but not so
if it came from a food bank.

The power of suggestion! 15 seconds after I read this I was downstairs
thawing out ground beef in warm water. And hour later I have Sloppy
Joes!
 
I don't use cheese but I do insist on mayonnaise and pickles. And
some fresh onions I had leftover from the using it in the ground beef
mixture. And on my signature split top hot dog buns(*) instead of
hamburger buns because they are much less sloppy to eat this way.

I used the 'Red Fork' sloppy Joe sauce for this batch. If you don't
like sweet Joes, then this stuff is for you.

I added Famous Dave's BBQ sauce, no tomato sauce as the directions
say. Plus a little sugar (sosueme).
 
(*) at least I didn't use a damned wrap!

I am not crazy about cole slaw but I confess to enjoying it on pulled
pork sandwiches.

coleslaw is my favorite vegetable but I never put in on my pulled pork
sandwiches

Pulled pork with a bit of sauce and topped with coleslaw on a bun is the
best way to eat it, imo. I like almost equal amounts of coleslaw and
pork.

it is not that the volume is different. It is that in some
applications, one is easier to use than the other. DUH!

Hah! Where you been?
 
Volume vs weight has always been a major issue, here. Some ppl
--regulars of rfc!-- absolutely refuse to acknowledge there's any
difference between an ounce by weight and an ounce by volume. It's
actually rather funny. ;)

Sounds like you're up a creek if you won't buy the Gold Medal product.
 
My daughter made a tart that was pretty good. It had a most wonderful crust. It was made with two parts flour, one part almond flour, and one part butter. The problem is that almond flour is about $15/lb so I'm looking for a cheaper substitute. Wondra might do the trick.
