The Costco Fiasco 

Um, Saturday Carrie & I took Melina to the zoo. Sunday we took photos at FP practice then my family came over and gave me birthday presents and we went to Katie Downs.

Anyway, yesterday (Tuesday) was "The Costco Fiasco." Linnea was borrowing Carrie's Costco card so she could go there and buy a birthday cake for Melina as well as print some photos. Well, we needed a ton of photos printed as well, so Carrie asked if I would mind going with. Of course not!

I teach Linnea how to download her photos and then I download my own while she is looking for a cake. When it comes time to pay, though, she doesn't remember the PIN to her debit card, so I front her the five bucks in cash. We leave without a cake.

We drive to her bank (in downtown) so she can change her PIN, then back to Costco, where we have lunch at the little counter inside the store. They're outta pizza. Melina gets a hot dog and practically takes only one bite out of each end.

I go to the bathroom while Linnea goes to get a cake, and we'll meet at the photo pickup place. Easy, right?

I get to the photo pickup place first and pick up the photos (they're dropped off right in front of me). Linnea gets there without a cake. Her new PIN wouldn't work. And she couldn't write a check because it's not her name on the Costco card. So we leave with only photos and a rather upset Melina.

When we get outside Linnea realizes that she doesn't have Carrie's Costco card. So she goes back in to get it, but they won't give it to her because it isn't her card.

So when Carrie got home for her split shift (after eating Melina's leftover hot dog that I took home) she had to drive out to Costco and get a whole new card. Il Fiasco!
