I won't assume any ethnicities, but when I was at the Tulalip outlets last week, I saw a lot of BC plates parking next to concrete planters as if they're parallel parking spots, even though a BRAND NEW parkade was built there over the summer.

The Costco in Bellingham is pretty chaotic. Why do EIs buy 30+ milk jugs? Unless they have a business.. I don't see how a family of 5-6 can finish 100L of milk by expiry date.

THey use a lot of milk to cook their food.

Mozo 11-20-2012 12:20 PM

they mainly use it for cooking food, making yogurt and tea

GLOW 11-20-2012 01:05 PM

It has been my assumption that the monster houses in Surrey house 2 or 3 families.

If you have 10 people living in a home, I could easily see 100L being consumed in 2 weeks. 1L of milk a day isn't all that hard to consume.

I probably drink close to a gallon a week on my own. milk is awesome.

older folks drink many cups of milky tea, and yogurt. Its a major source of protein for a lot of brown people since many are vegetarian. Also people take milk to the Temple sometimes.

The real winner in all this is Costco.

GLOW 11-20-2012 02:38 PM

still hoping they'd put one in blaine, but don't see it happening as it's too close to bellingham.

LP700-4 11-20-2012 02:55 PM

RS group buy one specifically for Canadians :troll: Must display canadian ID to enter

See how mad they get :troll:

Jas29 11-20-2012 02:56 PM

we have 6 people in our house and buy 8 1% milk jugs every week and 1 chocolate milk 1.

Me and my brother drink a lot of milk. the rest is used in food or tea

JKam 11-20-2012 03:10 PM

That's pretty crazy... I have 3 people in my house and we can barely finish 1gal every week.

TRDood 11-20-2012 03:33 PM

Interesting. I should have taken a picture on how many they take.

40-50 jugs in those huge costco carts. Filled.

It's very dangerous for little kids in that area because the Costco employee drive the forklift like a jackass to bring out pallets of milk.

For 100 bucks I'll guard your car while you shop.

Just park farther down the lot away from the store and don't park like an idiot. You should be fine. For more peace of mind drive the extra 45 mins or whatever it is to go to the one near the outlets.

StylinRed 11-20-2012 04:27 PM

drive down to Bellevue instead, better shops anyhow and no hicks

HondaGuy 11-20-2012 05:12 PM

Head down to exit 202 for outlet shopping and walmart. Further down from bellingham but at least theres plenty of parking.

inv4zn 11-20-2012 05:19 PM

Bellevue is nice if you're going down there anyway, but sometimes the highway (405? don't remember) is a bitch during rush hour.

+1.

Has everything Bellingham has IMO, stores that are less raided out, and also has the Walmart Supercenter now. The Burlington outlets are ok, a few steps up from Birch Bay but obviously nothing close to Tulalip.

Way less crowded overall, and the crowd seems more relaxed and chill, for now. And I get to avoid those 'Canadians' which annoy the piss out of me even locally.

GLOW 11-21-2012 01:33 PM

ya i've been driving further south and only time i stop in bellingham is if i miss something i can go to the walmart there. i like avoiding the annoying BC drivers that make the rest look bad.

Everymans 11-21-2012 01:55 PM

is it burlington or mt.vernon that has the 5 guys and fries right beside the highway? After eating there I nearly fell asleep on the way back because I was so bloated and full. I'd totally do it again.

inv4zn 11-21-2012 03:27 PM

I can only imagine how much the American's will enjoy our company more when an idiot Canadian falls asleep at the wheel and shuts down the highway.

Also, I hate the fuckers who try and budge at the border. I really wish there was a State trooper or something there to send them back south to come back up from the back again.

"No ethnicities mentioned here again hurr hurr" - but we all know which ones are doing it.
