â—‹ How to survive the Costco parking lot

â—‹ Hear the humble beginnings of Costco's Food Court as a hot dog cart in San Diego

â—‹ International Costcos have different regional menu items

â—‹ All the discontinued offerings from the food court!

â—‹ A Yelper is left out to dry when someone who arrived after her gets the last of the item she ordered in this week's Yelp from Strangers

â—‹ Part 2: Marisa and Jon confess the ways they've gamed Costco's notoriously indiscriminate return policy

â—‹ What Going On Over There with people who come out of Costco with only 1-2 things in their carts?

â—‹ Jon details the upsetting ways he eats his food
