Is it perishable? Will it expire?

used to work at Sam’s Club in highschool (yeah. it was awful then. I suspect it’s more-awful now). What people don’t want to know? those big ginormous tubs of mayo? they go bad rather quickly. Not like, rancid bad, but they’re definitely not as fresh or as worthwhile.

Also the rotisserie chickens, bakery and meat are loss leaders to get you in the door. everything else they’re making huge profits on. Especially everything that’s at the front of the store- the bulk candy, the electronics, the seasonal things. those god awful t-shirts and disgustingly cheap tube tops.

never by mayo in bulk. Also never buy the nacho cheese. Nobody needs a gallon-can of nacho-flavored valve sealant. just. trust me on that.
