Yes.

I recently realized that if I started working at Winco 15 years ago I'd probably be in a slightly better financial situation than I am now, simply because they're employee owned. There was no way of knowing that then, but it's a good argument for communism. They cut out all the bullshit and just say this is what we got, and it's cheaper than the other places around. Buy it or don't buy it; we don't really care. It's the responsible choice for thinking anons.

>>19913648
They pay less than fucking Walmart, not sure how it's a "good argument for communism". And every major retailer offers stock options.

>>19913621
they're a ghetto costco

>>19913668
It's not about the starting wage, dum dum. I'm not even a wagie. I just happened to look up how their "employee owned" thing actually works and the benefits you'd be getting today after 15 or 20 years are actually really good. It's not the same as "stock options." (I'd probably still be making a lot more; it was just kind of eye opening how well their long term employees are doing in today's economy because of their business structure. "Employee owned" is literally the central premise of communism.

>>19913621
Love this place like you wouldn't believe, we have two of them but ones kinda ghetto and I avoid it. I mainly shop at a higher end place because it's closer and less crowded though.

>>19913680
Costco is nothing but Mexicans filling up cart after cart with shit and the parking lot is a fucking warzone.

>>19913778
Simply live in a majority white county to avoid that problem.

>>19913621
Good product for cheap, can’t complain.

White people are really THIS scared of minorities lol.

>>19913778
not where I live and we have tons of mesicans.

The thing I like most about Winco is the design. I can't stand grocery stores that play fucked music and have live laugh love signs painted on the wall. Winco is like a warehouse with no advertising, no music, and concrete floors. It's perfect

>>19913796
>scared
more like fatigued

>>19913863
this!

>>19913796
read statistics on violence then you may begin to understand. never relax.

Every bag of their WinCo brand froz veg with broccoli in it has had woody brocc stems. AVOID.
I do like WinCo.

>>19913778
So true.

>>19913648
Winco has nothing to do with communism since food is plentiful there.

>>19913621
The one in Chino had flies.

>>19913796
white people only make up 8% of the world population

>>19913778
and winco is worse than that.

>>19914502
Winco is automatically better than 95% of warehouse stores simply in virtue of being open 24 hours a day. If you ever encounter undesirables at Winco you’re doing it wrong.

>>19913680
>they're a ghetto costco
Imagine outing yourself as not living in a 99% white state.

I love telling them dark secrets of the damned.

>>19913621
I went to a WinCo at 3am once and it was surreal, like backrooms-esque; Walmarts back when they were 24 hours weren't ever creepy. The only sign of life in the place aside from the automaton stockers was the tweaker politely ranting at the cashier. When the cashier rang me up he made a nonchalant comment on it and shrugged, saying it was part of the job

>>19915461
>the tweaker politely ranting at the cashier
Literally me.

>>19913621
i wish they had a membership and an online shopping option

>>19914268
>since food is plentiful there
West of the Mississippi? I don't understand what you're trying to say.

>>19913796
No. It's just the MAGA, election tourist types who never go outside and spend all day looking up videos of black people punching white dudes with Fox News in the background. They form their entire identity around being afraid. See >>19913901 for a typical example. They're the same people who simultaneously say, "don't trust science" and, "do your own research".

>>19914339
i want to be ai generated ham and cheese man

I like shopping there more than at the Kroger I work at. No music and they sell bulk grains and candy.

>>19913800
same
I see more asians and indians in mine
still completely mogged by the old folks waiting in line for free samples and 'burb families blocking entire aisles

>>19915629
People who have actually lived around niggers know better, you sound like the sheltered one.

>>19915629
What corner of Reddit did you come from?

>>19913834
Actually this
I prefer this 100% over the dumbass grocer chain stores
I do probably 70% of my shopping at Winco and 15% or so at Costco (mostly for the meat). The other 15% is split between Walmart and Chain stores since their prices tend to be almost 2x the price of Winco and I only go there when I need specific thing Winco doesn't usually carry

>>19915629

>>19916383
I've been to 3 or 4 costco's in my city, and the one in kirkland wa.

I've never seen anyone line up for free samples.

most people don't want them.

though the mesicans will bring the whole family and clean them out.

I specifically went to winco to buy some cheap stuff, but turned out the self-checkout is so fucking awful (only shows last scanned item, scans too fast) that looking at the check later I managed to eliminate all of the savings I got over QFC by double scanning some items

>>19915624
dumb commie freak

>>19913621
they used to make the best bbq whole chickens back in the day and for some reason switched up the recipe...I don't have one where I live now but it is my favorite place to shop

>>19913621
Love it.
I would always get potato wedges or chocolate peanut clusters when I go.
The discounted meats were pretty common, but I haven't seen as many discounts recently.
Prices for tendies are pretty cheap as well.

>>19913680
>>19913778
Asians are the most common CostCo customers.

>>19918230
imagine being so stupid that you cannot use the self checkout machine

>>19918279
that was the only self-checkout machine I've encountered across all big stores with a UI specifically created to induce double scanning
the store is a bit gay, anon

OP here, bought 125 bucks, well 130 bucks worth of goodies, they were having a promotion where they are giving out a free frozen turkey if you spend more than 125! I think it ends on the 20th? It excludes milk, alcohol and eggs. Some retarded reason, their prep bucket wasn't included to my purchase so they made a big fuss about it not being included, holding uo the line, so I had to buy 2 more Shasta 12 packs sodas plus an extra item to finally get my free 21 lb turkey, so I felt bad for holding up the line. At least I have a holiday turkey for free!

>>19913796
It's not so much scared as irritated.

>>19918896
Probably not worth it. Aldi has turkeys for $0.59/lb while other stores usually have them for $1/lb.

>>19918242
I bet you wouldn't even try a real tomato grown in the ground if it came from a community garden. It's amazing how people like you would rather hold onto your rage than be happy for 5 minutes of your life.

>>19918896
>At least I have a holiday turkey for free!
you don't understand economics do you?

>>19913621
i used to go there when i lived in oregon.
my friends always joked that they wanted to smoke salvia in the walk-in beer cooler
