I'm in 2023, listening to these Florentine rants, and they've aged beautifully. I started by listening to Florentine rant on Opie & Anthony about things like fantasy football...and now I'm here, and these are great to listen to

After this rant I was hoping I'd hear someone say "Okay I understand sir, you don't have to buy a membership with us. Thank you for your time."

"Yeah, but look at that price!" "Yeah, I'm looking. I'm looking."

Jim is right, and people are morons. I used to pump gas at Costco... cars would line up and wait for 15-20 minutes, engines running, to save 7 cents per gallon on their full tank of gas.

Reminds me of that seinfeld episode where kramer overbuys! Lol

My brother is a manager at Costco in Virginia. He used to be a fun guy to talk and hang out with. Now, whenever I try to converse with him he always turns it into a discussion about Costco and what a greay store it is. He thinks hes a big shot.

"That deal fuckin' stinks."

Costco gas is usually at least 25 cents a gallon less in my area. But what about the gas lines at Costco? Its like travelling back in time to the 70s gas shortage

Can just imagine driving next to Jim on the highway as he's driving with a knee and rambling like a madman. Probably in some kind of manly car like a '70 Cougar

I even bought my last two cars with Costco's program. I admit, I'm hooked!!!!

I stopped shopping there since my $50 membership meant the cashiers and managers bugged the hell out of me to go for the more expensive $120 card,that gets you 1.5% back from all your purchases.I hate the store but my wife bugs me to go.So,I paid the $120 and went back in October.

I like these podcasts because he sounds like a WW2 veteran lol

The first episode I ever heard and still my favourite.

I joined Costco one time, I didn't see that much of a price diference (including with men's razors which what I would have expected given the cost of memberhsip) Now I do most of my shopping online (except food items I get at the supermarket), I am only buying for myself - so I generally wouldn't be buying in that much bulk.

even with all the rage, he still made good points. i like my free time and like how fast i can pop in and out of the nearby grocery store for a few fresh lunch items. ive even paid 3$ to have the store gather my order for me in advance and put it in my car for me moments after i park. easy. i can go anywhere anytime without feeling guilty about a membership. i like my free time. i already trade enough of it away at work everyday.

I think someone has been recording my Costco rants and has put them together into one giant rant , only with an east coast accent!

now Walmart checks the receipt.

I don't agree with some of his points but I was still laughing uncontrollably.

I did lot security for various Costcos in the bay area and I can confirm that yes Costco blows.

Thanks Jim 👍🏻😃

@gimmiepig I agree that their whole chicken is suspect (I think they inject them with saltwater or something) but the raw cuts of meat are generally a higher grade than a local Vons or other grocery store. I grill a lot and I notice a difference.

Costco is great if you have a big family who eats a lot, and you happen to live down the street from one, and you can go there on your lunch break or during the weekday when they're not crowded as shit. But for everyone else (which is like 90+% of us) it's a waste of money.

The reason I shop there is many asian girls shop there. its like shoulder to shoulder shopping and seeing Miako and Shufen and Ms. Han. Konichiwa!,Nihao! Onyohisayo! lol Many times I inform them in the vitamin section. Found a nice $600 bed there at costco. when those smell mom and pop or large retail joines try to sell me a $2,000 bed.

Walmart checks your shit but there are some that dont

I love it

My idiot dad exclusively lives off frozen food. He buys the cheapest "manager's special" meat that's basically spoiled and freezes it. So everything he ends up eating is six months old, frost bitten and rotten. Why? Because it's a "deal." He's not poor at all. He's just a moronic consumer that lets supermarkets sell him food that should in the garbage.

Beautiful reality lesson!

The reason I searched this up is because when I bought a 48 pack of Mnms to sell for profit at Cosco I counted and I finished and there was 42 and instead of 48. i payed 30 for 48 but I got 42 so I lost 6$ in profit I know for adults 6$ isn’t much but for a kid who is hustling trying to make some money you can buy *ALOT* of things with 6$ not only is it a pain to go to cosco but they think that you will not count all the number of items in packs of whatever you buy they take costumers for a joke!

2:53 😂 BUT IT'S FREE!!

like everything else, big stores have advantages and disadvantages and it is up to you to take advantage or be taken advantage. Even if you don't have a large family you can totally save money by buying bulk on things that last a long time, such as razor blades, batteries, bar soap, toilet paper, etc. Also, the savings on the gas they sell more than pays for the membership. lastly, a few times a year I host a large BBQ and it just makes sense to go to a bulk store. Price and convenience usually have an inverse relationship. Sure the grocery story closest to your house may be most convenient but it is also more costly. Costco may have some inconvenient things about it (such as storing razor blades or other shit) but if you do it right, you do save money.

Gonna come out and say it. This guy is ranting. I like it cause what he brings to the table,, rants, makes sense and is logical. I wouldn't call it a cult? More like oblivious to the intelligent obvious. I can only assume ppl are just too far gone in their minds to realize what is really going on around them. Drive 75 laps till u get a close parking spot LMAO! It's true! Me, I don't mind walking 300 yards. Why am I gonna waste time driving around and dealing with a hassle? F-ck it. Buying it bulk, left over waste lol. I see dumb sh_t like this from other ppl all the time. Wait 1/2 hour in line at a fast food joint and not be pissed!? Ppls brains are numb....

Glad someone else said it. Yes, if your engine is engineered to run on a higher octane, that's the octane you should be filling your car up with. Else you can have engine retardation, loss or power and actually a bit of a loss of fuel economy, too. I wish Jim had clarified that pumping a higher octane than the engine is DESIGNED FOR is a waste of money.

I think Jim is funny but... I do shop at costco and I do save money. I have a family of 5 so some items make sense. I don't pay anything a year and I shop at the right times so I don't wait in lines. I do hate walmart though.

Ha ha Jim is basically describing a single person who shops as if he has a big family. His problem is not Costco, it is stupid people who shop there when it doesn't make sense.

With flo- tine you really have to be picky and really dig and search to find the nuggets otherwise you get totally screwed and have to endure this absolute Drabble , just some middle middle class, kakis and Sandles , with fake oakleys , just word toilet complaining about the most basic obvious petty crap we already kno and think,,,,
