there's a tiny Indian grocery store in Rockville that has *the best* mangos for a couple of weeks in June. The owner said they are from MX.


Thank you from mango PP!

I would rather get nothing, but I feel that way about most gifts

Someone gave us Caffarel chocolates with hazelnuts, made in Italy. They’re pretty good for $11. Bought at Costco. We’re chocolate snobs too.

I bought a $100 xmas gift basket from Costco. It was a fantastic basket. Maybe that's too low class for you. shrug.

So ungrateful. I don’t mind them. Chocolate is chocolate
Wrong!



Costco carties some high end chocolates both in-store and online. You have to watch for the offerings

Anyone who is ungrateful because their Christmas gift came from Costco is just selfish + privileged in my humble opinion.

I wouldn’t gift that person anything else going forward. 😏

There’s a specific % of Costco card members who are millionaires. It’s high too


Costco's core customer is well-educated and affluent. It's particularly popular among the well-educated and affluent in places like Silicon Valley.

I don’t mind gifts from Costco. However, chocolate is not chocolate.

Good chocolate is worth it. Bad chocolate should be thrown out uneaten.


Costco has decent chocolates right now. Lindt. Sanders. Ghirardelli. Some others

Costco sells Lindt chocolate. That stuff is like crack. I’d be happy with that.

Of course I’m fine with gifts from Costco. Got a few this year. But I’m not a snob.
