Lawl, to come to richmond costco then. You'll blow your brains out.

Ive been listening to this trash on repeat. i don't know why, but its addictive as hell (probably due to my insanely low IQ, it hits all the right retarded brain cells)

Time to move to Calgary, I don’t even think about this shit anymore so much space lol… though the biggest frustration here is people who full stop on yield signs when nobody is around, it’s an epidemic of that here and I have no idea where it comes from.

Some old lady at Costco yesterday was like “I thought it wouldn’t be busy if I came on a work day” and I was like “I just moved here from BC, trust me this is nothing” and she said “I’ve heard stories about Costco there, I saw videos of the one in Richmond with people fighting! Does that happen a lot?” hahahaha ah-mo stories even made their way over to oldies here.

Willingdon, Brighton, and even downtown I think are the best options in the lower mainland in terms of busy-ness and parking

Surrey, Richmond, Langley seem to be wayyy worse. Albeit I never ever go to Willingdon on the weekends

brighton is our go to... just show up 30m before close and you're golden. traffic in and out is also one of the better ones at that hour. i refuse to go to the surrey one even if it's closer as the crow flies. traffic is worse, the store is busier, and it just takes me way longer to complete my trip overall.

Brighton is getting some work done to the parkade to create new traffic lanes. It's a giant cluster right now.

pastarocket 05-08-2025 08:41 AM

The downtown Vancouver location for Costco is meh in terms of parking.

First, the underground parking lot charges $2 for two hours of parking. No free parking.

Second, the parking lot is smaller compared to other locations like Willingdon.

I don't like the DT Costco, a lot of my friends who live closer to it avoid it and go to Richmond or Still Creek.

Richmond is a lot better since they introduced scanners. Shows how many ppl were borrowing memberships or just trying to sneak in. Zero problems finding parking on a weekday afternoon or weekend mornings, minimal lineups for paying.

Still Creek will always be busy as it has one of the biggest catchments in the area.

Brighton parking lot is a cluster. I don't know what they are doing to it and it's way too far anyways for me.


Shouldn't this be in the Costco thread? lol

A new Pope is elected! White smoke = new Pope.

American Pope.
Pope Leo XIV.

Hmmm, does Lamborghini give another free car to the new Pope like in previous years?

Pope Francis received a Huracan. Then Francis donated the Huracan to charity. He drove

a Fiat 500.


A new Pope mobile for Pope Leo XIV? Is Pope Leo XIV receiving a Temerario?

Pope Francis donated this Huracan gift from Lamborghini to charity:

Damn, to hate it that much to do a 40 min round trip just to avoid it. I hit the DT one sometimes because I work in Olympic Village but I'll go right when they open a quick in and out. Yes, I do imagine it would be brutal if you go at other times but I don't know I'd ever go out of my way to hit another one.

Meanwhile I purposefully go to DT Costco on purpose to avoid the chaos in Richmond, even though I drive right by it on my commute every day...

DT Costco might charge $2 parking, but its covered parking is always empty in Level 2 on non-game days. Beats fighting for parking in Level 1 imo.

I went to Still Creek a few evenings ago for their garden center, and that parking lot is almost as chaotic as Richmond.

EvoFire 05-08-2025 09:39 AM

Still Creek has wider lanes, so you can actually squeeze 3 cars through some of the lanes, but it has gotten a lot busier since I started going to Costco 10 years ago.

Just go to Richmond man, their traffic is literally down like 30% easy. If you park in the area closer to the Holiday Inn, there's almost ALWAYS parking without waiting and minimal walk. The only thing is the Richmond warehouse is marginally smaller than the Still Creek one.

2$ parking?!?!?? The horror! Proceeds to buy 200-400$ worth of groceries.......

:facepalm:

noclue 05-08-2025 09:51 AM

I wouldnt wish my worst enemy going to richmond costco on a weekend afternoon with sample stations at the end of every aisle.

I hope the new costco in south surrey and new west will alleviate some traffic.

Ford should give him a Ford GT, or at least a GT350 + Ford Lightning combo.

Or make him a new Popemobile using the Lightning.

P2 downtown is always completely empty when I go there

MG1 05-08-2025 10:41 AM

I used to park and charge my EV for free at Parq Casino. Then, heaven forbid, walk to the DT Costco. Fast forward to now. Half the EV chargers are broken and they require you to play slots or whatever. If I need a part from Miele, I'll do it, but the DT Costco just has the wrong vibe, somehow. Maybe not enough asians there to make me feel.............. wait, there are asians everywhere. Every fucking nook and cranny............. 'cept where I live. Many Eyetalians. One of the neighbour's daughter in law. Mama Mia! Song by the Vapors, ......... refresh......... Turning Italian.



Addendum

I miss the good ol' days. When asians weren't everywhere. When I moved to the Valley, it was great. We were invited over to dinners and BBQ's. White suburbia. I guess it was hip to have an asian or two in your backyard. Look guys, we're progressive white folk. Then it all changed. Now there are way more asians and brown people. Only on RS can I say this kind of shit. I can't even fathom badhobz saying half the shit he does on any other forum. Gulolololol.


Em Gee Juan, out! Off to do some Costco shopping!

The Chinese Refresh is one of the most infuriating things someone can do.

There's 5 people in line trying to get into the parking lot behind you and your stupid ass decides to choose the 1st spot among many later in the garage to do your slow ass back-in into the spot?

Either drive forward into the spot quickly, or choose another fucking spot to take 5 minutes backing in.

It's the epitome of main character syndrome, one should be embarrassed doing that shit.

Those kinds of drivers should just take public transit.

Canada Line! LUL

Sorry, but could someone educate me on what the Chinese Refresh is? :confused:

You poorly pull into a spot and over correct 5-30 times until finally getting into the parking spot

whitev70r 05-08-2025 11:39 AM

^ never heard the term but by context, it sounds like a Chinese driver who takes forever, driving their big ass SUV's back and forth while they are parking to get it into a spot ... very slowly and methodically.

pastarocket 05-08-2025 11:44 AM

The Chinese Reservation is even worse in terms of parking etiquette.

Bitch, stop embarrassing us Chinese people in Canada!!!

Don't stand in a parking spot in order to "reserve" the parking spot for your boyfriend, husband, etc.

Some of these Chinese people have a death wish.

If she tried that stupid stunt in the U.S, another driver that is trying to park his/her vehicle would either A) run her over with their vehicle, B) get his/her gun and shoot her, or C) vandalize her family member's vehicle.

It seems like they’ve completely given up on trying to get rid of scalpers so they’ve just upped the price so there is no profit to be made on re-sale

So instead of just fixing an issue and punishing the re-sellers you punish everyone
