"Serenity Now..." 'James "kimo" Rosen'

Eric Briksa enjoys a delicacy at Costco outdoor
cafe in Lihu'e, Hawai'i. A giant hot-dog and giant drink
still only $1.50! One can't even buy a soft drink
for that price at most places.
Aloha, Check out my Opinion article in the October 15,2012 edition of the  Kaua'i Garden Island news, " Serenity Now." It's about Costco outdoor cafe!http://thegardenisland.com/news/opinion/mailbag/letters-for-monday-oct/article_98c1583a-1691-11e2-ad86-001a4bcf887a.html
 
Serenity Now

Costco outdoor cafe in Lihu'e is  still the place  to go on for an inexpensive  meal on the cosmic island of Kaua'i. No membership card is asked for at the outdoor cafe, so anyone, even non-members line up in the never ending lines on a daily basis.
Where else can you get a 100% 1/4 lb plus beef frank  with  optional sauerkraut and a refillable 24 oz. soft drink for $1.50?

Costco  outdoor cafe  still has not grasped the aged old  concept of 'roped of lines' as banks and most fast food restaurants employ ,where the next person in any line  goes to the next available ordering window.  

Remember, just have patience in case you pick the wrong line and the person in front of you happens to be  ordering for the tour bus in the parking lot. In that case just repeat after me, "Serenity now..."

The dogs used to be kosher, still all beef but not Kosher. I think they are made overseas in China! :D)

Costco sells a chicken Caesar salad with white meat chicken breast, tomatoes , croutons and Caesar dressing, enough food for three for only $3.99, in fact I am leaving for Costco right after I post this! ;D)

Linda, Is the tape suppose to be like a roped section outlined on the floor? Just came home from Costco, lines were so long I gambled on the sample people being in the store, and lucky me, lots of free samples. But with all the summer tourists our nice little Costco goes crazy in da summer wit thousands of out of towners thinking they run the place. I actually see why the Hawai'ian don't like us white people.

via Facebook;"I think they MEANT it to be like the rope, but instead it's just confusing. Why so many lines when there are only TWO checkstands? I have no idea."

KimoRosen said...

So strange with Costco being so state of the art on merchandise yet they are so prehistoric on checkout. They had a number calling system with two people up until around 10 years ago when they finally became computerized, just takes Costco awhile, guess that's the price you pay for a good deal!? Unless of course they hire Mcgregor or Rosen to fix things..! ;D)

Linda Meyers said...

via facebook;" I liked the number calling method, they didn't have to move everything in and out of the cart and I think it went faster.

KimoRosen said...

good point! Your hired!

via facebook;"I actually have a meeting with our Costco manager, one of their checkers was SO rude to me the other day."
