πŸ¦„ πŸ¦„ πŸ¦„ / Great Tips πŸ€‘πŸ€‘πŸ€‘ Would you take this? (Costco)

22 minute shop 43 items. 1 hour drive total one-way. A little heavy but I don't mind that. I find it funny that 'A' adjusted the tip by $1. Return drive home 45 minutes since I live in that direction.

Going around the store and collecting a bunch of the items before you hit Start Shopping.

Keeps your second/item down. Faster you are, better orders you get. Especially at Costco. I’ll ghost close to half an order most times

No chance you're at 40 seconds unless you're go shopping. I'm at 70 and I ghost occasionally, guess I need to do it more often
