Just checked and most of the Carrefour branded confitures are made in Spain.
Loosing the limited European offer we had in Carrefour is a bummer.
Costco is kind of a joke.
They have good stuff, stuff I WANT to buy. Things you cant get elsewhere. But theres always too much of it which makes it all expensive and hard to get through.
Iâd love a chocolate muffin but I dont want 20 of them.
Payment options are limited too. I basically only get a few things from there, if they had more size and payment options I would be in there several times a week.
I waited in a long queue then was told they only accept their credit card⌠I left them to deal with the full trolley.
What a karen thing to do. There is an ATM meters away from the registers. They even finish scanning all your stuff, put it in the cart, and continue with the rest of the line while they wait for you to come back.
Screw that. Karen would have insisted and argued, I did not.
You signed up for a membership with clearly defined rules. When presented with those rules, you stormed out like a child inconveniencing staff who now have to return all your products back to the shelf. Worse yet, if you had any cold items they need to be thrown away for safety reasons. If itâs not Karen, itâs probably worse.
Sorry a customer can abandon the purchase if they donât agree with the payment options, to think otherwise is moronic, and the level of stupid that allows a business to implement such policies.
If they had to throw away food good.
The yellow brand is usually very good. Here most of what was imported was from the French branch, and some Italian. From the Spanish branch there was almost nothing. I liked their quesada (Cantabrian variety of what here would be called Basque cheese cake) but never made it here. I think I only saw pisto manchego, which wasnât too bad, but it is something that can be cooked here locally at home.
Credit card games at supermarkets in Taiwan are not unique to Costco.
I avoid such games entirely by using cold hard cashâalways. 
Guy
Respect. They deserve some resistance to their bs policies. Px mart too. I basically only go there if I have to now which is almost never.
Where are these fantasy supermarkets in Taiwan that take ALL credit cards?
Even my local Louisa (to switch to coffee shops) has a sign saying: sorry we donât take international credit cards.
As with supermarkets, this does not slow me down as I whip out, yet again, my cold hard cash.
Guy
Carrefor does. I just bought something in Louisa with Samsung pay.
Louisa coffee is total shitte iMVHO.
You are losing valuable points.
I think compare costumers habits between Taiwan and western countryâs its not accurate Taiwanese people have used supermarkets less frequently for primary shopping compared to Western consumers. Instead, they rely heavily on traditional wet markets and a dense network of convenience stores for daily needs
That makes things even easier for you. Donât shop there!
Guy
Yet another game which I do not care about, one bit. 
Guy
Lol right.
What makes it worse here is its not just a bulk px mart. If that was the case I might not shop there but I would get the business plan at least.
Theres a ton of western things you canât get anywhere else. Guacamole, cheese, fancy cured meat. I eye up that stuff every time I go but I dont buy. Even the Caesar salad wraps are something you canât get outside. I bought them once then I was eating them every bloody day.
They are leaving money on the table.
