MY RECENT TRIP TO COSTCO
January 16, 2024
If you follow me on Instagram, you know I went to Costco Monday night to stock up on my favorite Asian items. I’ve been feeling the Asian appreciation from Costco for the last few months as they have been adding new Asian items regularly. I picked up some of my staples and some new products I’m excited to try.
As my pretty lady and I were heading to the produce section I got a little distracted by the tv’s. She kept walking and the AT&T salesperson asked if she needed a new phone and was interested in hearing about their plans. I was a little shocked she stopped to learn more, but I also know she has been unhappy with Verizon for quite some time. Mostly, because they removed her discount after having it for three years. If you know my pretty lady personally you know she keeps a close eye on her dollars coming in and going out.
Before I continue with our Costco adventure, I gotta mention that last week Dave Ramsey asked on Instagram for everyone’s money-saving tips. She responded with eating everything before going grocery shopping, unplugging things not in use, consolidating errands in one day, making her veggie broth and freezing it, not buying paper towels or napkins, drinking only water, using half of a dryer sheet for one load, and going “shopping” in her closet." She takes saving money very seriously!
When Ehron said he could get her a new phone and have the bill to be much lower than Verizon, she was all ears. I arrived at the conversation just as Ehron started his presentation. This guy had it all! Friendly eye contact, a great smile, smoothness, and finesse! Ehron was very articulate and I’m standing there thinking this is just the start for him, this guy is going places. What I liked best about Ehron is that he respected my pretty lady. She was in charge, and he knew that. He didn’t once ask for my opinion or my role in all of this because frankly, it didn’t matter.
Ehron had a nice personal demeanor. I recall him saying “brother” to me a couple of times and I was feeling it. When my pretty lady mentioned she was upset with Spectrum WIFI going out that morning when there was barely any snow on the ground, Ehron immediately started running the numbers and checking her location to ensure fiber optics was available at her place. It is a great plan for Costco members, and I know the $300 in Costco gift cards and free Apple Care for a year made the offer even more appealing.
My pretty lady went back today to finalize everything with Ehron. She mentioned he managed her expectations for the phone arriving in two days, setting it up, and the installation process for fiber optics. She also mentioned that another couple needed his assistance while she was checking out. Ehron effortlessly took care of her and them seamlessly. I’m disappointed I missed his multitasking. It sounds like Ehron did not miss a beat.
I promise this is not a paid advertisement, but if you are a Costco member go check out AT&T’s exclusive plans. Costco AT&T customers are also given a VIP hotline for any service issues encountered. Ask for Ehron if you go to the Costco on Norton Healthcare Boulevard.
Now you may be wondering what some of my favorite Asian items at Costco are. Here’s everything I bought last night: Taylor Farms Thai Chili Mango Salad, Kirkland Seaweed, Kirkland Jasmine Rice, Kimchi, Kevin’s Thai Style Coconut Chicken, Snapdragon Vietnamese Pho, Shoyo Ramen, Snapdragon Chicken Pad Thai, and Pulmuone Teriyaki Stir-Fry Udon.
