Now, that was a bad idea all the way around

So, badrobot68 weeted that Pike Place Market was a zoo full of peops today.  So I figured they were all there and it was safe to go to Costco. 

I think what happened between the time he tweeted and the time I got there, everyone got in the car and went from the Market to Costco.  Holy crapoly. I drove in and knew instantly that today was NOT the day to go Costoco-ing.  I figured I'd just go on through the lot and then back home and not stress about the fools who just stop in the middle of the roadway and wait the 15 minutes it takes for the person who just came out to load up, go back for what they forgot, come back, load their new shit in, load the family in and finally, maybe, pull out.  

So I cranked up the radio and patiently plodded my way through.  Then in the third lot out, as I got there, a guy pulled out and no one was parked waiting for him so, WTF, I pulled in.

And then I started the long walk (in my new - ohsocomfie - shoes)...  About halfway there, I decided to pull out my Costco card.  

OOOps.  It is back at home with my library card and other shit I knew I would not need at CES so pulled out and left at home.  So, back to the car and back home.  

Next week  - on a weekday - will be a perfect time to go to Costco.  I already put the card back into my wallet.

They can look up your membership at customer service and allow you to enter without your card.

yeah, i figured as much but i'm sure the customer service line was Looooooooooong... and there was nothing on my list that was critical.

Mrdreamjean's suggestion never crossed my mind all this time. Hmmmpf!

Been there, done that with my card too, though in a different wallet, my coin pouch which has other, often less used cards, though I now keep it in my main card case for that reason.

Really, the best time to go is late morning, not too long after they open, which is 11AM for the general membership, I think.

Right now, I need to renew my membership, but there has not been the $50 to do it as it now has to cover more critical items, like food, gas, bills etc.

Try going to Ikea mid day on a Saturday. It is enough to make one want to buy a knife and start stabbing.

Attempting to scale Mount Costco is always a Homeric event!
