CostCo Oakbrook

I shop at the CostCo in Oak Brook for our office. We hold meetings that require snacks and stuff to drink so it's economical to go to the store and get everything in bulk. Cool concept and I like the store.

Anyway, the Clients that come to this store to shop are Unbelievable! They are the rudest, egotistically challenged, self entitled, aggressive, and just the about the cruelest shoppers you could run into during a shopping experience. I am not exaggerating.

This is in no way against this store and the wonderful employees they have. My heart aches for them and the abuse they endure everyday.

I'm going to timeline the events starting with today.  I'll need to check the receipts for the other dates.

March 22

I had to stop at the service desk for a copy of a receipt. It was early - 10:20am and not too busy. There was an elderly gentleman hopping around behind me. Moving and darting around while searching for an extra worker to wait on him.  He kept zooming in over my shoulder, not touching me but zipping over the right then the left. I could feel the air move. So I stepped back. Just to show him he was edging close to my space. He didn't care. I could feel his air closer.

When I finished my transaction, he jumped to the counter. Rushing in to make sure he was next. No one was behind him. I'm not a slow mover but he was pushy and arrogant. So - I said " Hey. Could you not push me?." And he said, "Are you starting something?" I said "Jesus". and left. Now. I've been coming up with beautiful come back lines all day. Like. "Hit Me". and "Dude, Really?" but what I really should of done is get the phone out and film him. Then put this angry eyed, RUDE old man on YouTube. Next time dude - next time.

Week before - I'll fill in the dates later - this is a good one. 

I'm gonna call it. "Rolls Royce and the one legged women"

The parking lot is absolutely nuts and you need to watch over your shoulder and ahead while walking at the same time. Apparently there isn't a speeding limit to park. They come in and race to find a spot up front.  Every day it's a zoo in the lot. Our offices look out over the parking lot and we can watch from up above.

So, I was walking back to my car and this man and women, I'm assuming Husband and Wife had just left and were in one of the ultimate spots. Right up front. Prime Real-estate in CostCo.  He was loading his car with the purchases while she was walking to the car. She was on two crutches wearing a skirt and had only one leg peaking out of her skirt. Poor thing. I wonder what happened? Anyway - a car. White Rolls Royce, grey pony tail wearing, elder person was waiting for the prime spot. The engine was revving and the car was moving forward. Almost rocking and revving. Loaded v8 engine in that big car. Dirty white. That's what the color was. It was like, trying to push the one legged women on two crutches to move faster. Impatient, Unbelievable RUDE, egotistically challenged person. There was only one leg peeking out of her skirt. How fast could she go? Good Lord.

Ok - here are two. I have a lot more. I just knew I needed to get this started. The world needs to know about CostCo Customers in Oakbrook.

Red Pepper Wreath

Mix Pepper Wreath

Gold Cayenne

Racoon Tracks

Italian Quick Bread

Winter Rye Ground Cover

Coyote

I had so many peppers this year. It was a bountiful year. But - you are left with "What to Do?"

I went on line and looked for how to make wreaths. The best idea was taking bobby pins and a straw wreath and pushing them through the pepper. The Pepper needed to be soft because if it was already dry, it would crumble.

The second batch was the golden cayenne. OMG - they were so hot that each time I poked the wire through, I would start coughing. They are currently in a paper bag and I need to wait until it's nice outside.

The Bread was so perfect and the recipe was found on the "Bread Flour" bag. Who knew? YUM.

The Coyote - found him dead in a creek - poor thing. He's been around here for years. :(

I've been traveling and working too much these past days so my apologies on the delay in my posts.
