Costco

 
I am almost 100% sure that Coach Glenn Pendlay works or has
worked for the secret service, and here’s why.  The whole California
Strength team pulls up in two car loads into the Costco parking lot like we are
in the mafia, or better yet in the secret service.  Coach starts walking
to the front door outside in the windy parking lot.   Now for some reason
while Coach Glenn Pendlay was walking toward the front door I imagined the Akon
song “sexy chick” playing.  It would have fit coach perfectly! The
walk, the attitude, the weightlifting mafia behind him, shit just the whole
Glenn Pendlay way! I was thinking, “Damn that’s one sexy man”!! 
haha I don’t know why I think that’s so funny, it just is.  I think it’s because
he is just so damn serious it makes it that much funnier.  Its sample time
baby!  A couple times a week we crash the little party of soccer moms and
working dads at Costco and eat all there samples!   The first step in
pulling off this free meal between practices is getting a cart, and pushing it
around the store like we are actually buying stuff.  Coach will actually
put stuff in the cart and just slowly push it around the store!  It’s like
he is a big bear trying to fit in with the humans! haha I am sorry but watching
him making round after round is one of the funniest and greatest things I have
ever seen.  It’s not only that, it’s the way he does it.  He will
walk up looking at the samples like it’s a math problem, look up at the little Asian
girl, look back down to the samples and then he will start talking to the
samples lady’s about everything!  “what is it”  where is it
from”  what’s it good on”  He will eat it, then he will
start moving his hands around in some sort of crazy way, gathering his flock of
weightlifters to the sample booth!   “Jon have you tried
this”?  I will say yes coach I have.  “Well Jon then get
some more!”  Ok coach I will.  lol   hahaha  and
he is dead serious, I have never seen a man so serious in my life, and we are
eating samples!!!   If we walk up to a sample table that has the food
in the oven still, he will write down when it will be done, walk around more
and then yell, “guys I think the mini hot dogs are done”!!!! “Let’s
go”  “move out”!!!      We will
all follow our great leader through the crowd of people like little ducks down
a stream.  Sometimes coach will have us spread out and attack each sample
booth one at a time, then we will switch every minute.  Of course only on
coach Pendlays hand motion.  It’s not hard to find the leader, just look
in the middle of Costco and you will find a big man with camo pants on and a
black shirt that says “Penldlay”!!!! hahahahahaha Light
weight!!!  2012!!

There is nothing funny about a free meal.  And there is always one or two booths that are amazing.  This week the winner was sandwiches made from croissants with cheese and some really good turkey breast…  
We try to go hungry and leave full!

OMG Lmao!!! I really have no comment, this is absolutely absurd!!
 
You Olympic lifters are out of your minds!!!
 
The sexy bitch song is perfect… I can totally picture this mafia like food massacre accruing… It’s as if a war has started and you have each others back…
 
I guess you get the best of both worlds… You get a little taste of everything, satisfy every taste bud, get your cardio by walking around the store, and ITS FREE!
 
What other HOT SPOTS do you vandalize?

The funny thing is people may think this stuff is embelished but its not.
Every single word Jon north writes down is something from memory.
Costco is awesome by the way!

You get a little taste of everything.  
 
 

 
Getting a “little taste” has no part in what we do.  For instance, this week they had sandwiches made made from croissants, cheese, and turkey breast.  They cut each one into 4 pieces.  I believe I had 9 pieces, more than 2 full sandwiches.  The trick is not to get a “little taste”.  The trick is to keep making rounds around the store eating more and more, or, if you find a sympathetic woman at the booth, just shamelessly stand there and take more and more at one booth.
Anyone who cannot get a tasty, filling, and free meal at Costco simply lacks imagination.
I know for sure that there are times when the samples included tri-tip with Kinders BBQ sauce when I have managed to secure at least 2lbs of meat before leaving.

It is so true!
If you are unable to get a free MEAL at Costco your either not smart or your an idiot!
The older the better on the samples too. There’s this guy at our local Costco who smples and he must be 70…Jackpot he won’t even remember you from 5 seconds ago.

You guys have it mapped out to a T!! Screw food stamps and homeless shelters.. They should just hang out at cosco.  They should pick a different cosco every day so its not to obvious =)

I can honestly say this is one of the funniest things I have ever heard. How many times do you guys hit up a stand? I mean I think it’s kind of hard to miss a bunch of olympic lifters… maybe they’re to determined by the questioning to tell you that’s enough sir… hahahaha i really can’t stop laughing at this

In Texas, Lowe’s used to have a “contractor appreciation” lunch every thursday.  Basically free hamburgers cooked on a grill…  along with various sides.
Now I am not a contractor, but no one ever asked me to prove it either.  Myself, and my son in the summer, were in line every thursday for our free hamburgers you can be sure of that.
Thjere really is a lot of free food available if you have a nose for it…
Now as for the sample booths at Costco, we will usually hit each booth betweeen 2 and 6 or 8 times, depending on how friendly the lady is and how tasty the food is.  4 is about average.
