We went there on Friday for date night (how romantic!) and picked up all of those aforementioned things. We got a delicious pizza for ten bucks that's much bigger and much tastier than the Hot and Readys at Little Caesar's. We also got a yummy tub of cookie dough, ostensibly for baking, but really just for snacking on out of the fridge (yum).
So here's two more things about Costco that I wanted to share with you.
1. Costco milk in Ohio comes in a different shaped jug. Totally weirded me out the first time I saw it. But hey, they're stackable!

2. "Pat". At our local Costco gas station, there is one attendant that we have seen every. single. time. we've filled up. Like the SNL character, "Pat" (not the real name, so as to protect the innocent and ambiguous) is of indeterminate gender. Pat's name is one that is usually a female name, but spelling would allow it to be a male's name, too. Pat's build is completely ambiguous, but skinnily so rather than SNL's fatty. Hair? Ponytail. Voice? Sounds like Shawn from the early seasons of Boy Meets World. Most of this wouldn't bother me so much if Pat weren't so chatty. At least half of my visits to the pump consist of awkwardly conversing with a person that wants to come across as a woman, but all of my senses are screaming to me is a man. And the pump just doesn't seem to pump fast enough.
