Ugh, I spent all weekend in Gaithersburg! If I only didn't have to hang out with my in-laws all weekend (with no internet!), I could've made it over there.

For me I can just order the clothes online and I get the same result.

None left in the SF Bay Area after a quick stop at Redwood City location yesterday and asked if they could check other stores.

I went to the Sunnyvale Costco and they said they've been out of stock for the past 3 months!

Anyone want to take a guess on
1) what will be the date of the last FT-reported successful purchase?
2) what location will it be at?

If by Sunnyvale, you mean Lawrence, this is definitely not true as we bought some about a month ago.

Cheers.

Wasn't that the only one in the South Bay that carried them besides Mountain View? I never saw them at the NE San Jose location (off of Hostetter) or the Santa Clara location (on Coleman). I never checked the Senter Rd, Almaden or Gilroy locations.

Mrs.777 and I go to that Costco. I don't recall them ever having it there (we even inquired about it) that is why we would drive over to the Costco in Sunnyvale.

The Almaden Costco had them. Senter never carried them.

We only bought at Lawrence (Sunnyvale) and Mountain View (when Sunnyvale was running out). I think that, somewhere in this thread bdemaria reported that Coleman had some late in the game. I also did find that they had a few right when the closeout began (I was there for something else and inquired), but those may have been returns.

Cheers.

Although I've used about 20 of these in my lifetime, still definitely one of those things that I didn't entirely appreciate until now that it's gone.

Even though it was TRUE on 21 July, it is now the case that they have exactly ZERO.
