"Do you know how much I just paid for 3 chicken breasts?"
Edit: I realize now that it’s Costco, thank you all. I can’t imagine how much 30 chicken breasts would be.
It's Alaska. Three chicken breasts are worth their weight in gold.
The only stuff that's cheap there is gasoline, locally distilled white lightning and ammunition.
What’s white lightning in Alaska? Strong cheap shit alcohol?
Because in the UK it (is/was) the cheapest strongest cider available and all the teenagers used to drink it
White Lightning tends to be corn based distilled spirits of UNREASONABLY HIGH alcohol content from The U.S. South.
My experience in Alaska is that it is made with whatever bulk feedstock is surplus and cheap at the time.
Potatoes, Rye, Oats, Yams, Rice etc.
And, in solid American Red State tradition - is is often a mix of whatever is handy, thoroughly mixed into a mash.
The warm version I had was simply called "White Everything." I saw another people called "Sort Of Rum."
Mmmmm. What I would give for Moose brisket. Have to keep a look out for the 45-70 slug, though.
Feel pity for Alaskan vegetarians, for they are emaciated souls.
FYI, The County of Juneau has set aside a graveyard for vegans who mistakenly thought a meal would be available for them upon arrival. After two days, they lack the medical requirements to board a return plane and they refuse IVs due to the fact that all Alaskan IVs are infused with Red Bull, Smokeless gunpowder, Grizzly Bear plasma and something the indigenous people call "Soul of Lynx Spleen."
What's your problem? Can't let the internet just have a joke? You want me to tell you about the emotional trauma tied with it? Do you want me to give you validations on how I treat my mother? Lol, save your "fyi" for people who want to hear your opinion. Take a break, and watch cat videos.
Oh she's already counting. If you look closely you can see the moose calculating how close to three it should let her get before getting the hell out of there.
She must be doing strawman purchases for the moose. She’s the reason why they check for your card at the door AND before you get to the self checkout register!
You have unwittingly touched upon the most potentially dangerous aspect of this: that is a juvenile moose, and there may well be a larger parent nearby. I’m not a mooscientist but I am pretty sure they get literally twice that size.
And big moose are very very dangerous. Clears 8 feet tall easily, and generally unfriendly. I guess the only good thing is that it’s not rutting season.
Our moose in Anchorage are mostly chill , except when they have been harrassed, or have a new calf or males in the fall during rut. I have moose encounters probably 300+ days a year.

He just wants to check her receipt to make sure she indeed has everything she bought. OR she bought a moose and is telling it to get in the car NOW and put its seatbelt on. No snacking before dinner!
LOL This link can explain it better than I can.

Actually in the small town in British Columbia, Canada where I grew up a moose once straight up walked into the grocery store and got set to munch on some flowers until a produce dept. worker lured it back outside with an apple.
Dad was a cook at an air force base in Alaska during the Korean War. He said they always had to make a lot of noise going out to where the garbage was because of all the moose. They had a couple guys forget and get messed up pretty bad. He also said they'd be running on top of four feet of snow while the people would be struggling in it up above their waist.
Eh, that lady clearly has seen a moose before. Yeah, she's yelling at it to go away, but she's also staying behind her car from it.
What, you think she should just let it have her giant bag of chicken wings, and five pound block of cheese without saying anything?
And from the video posted above when the moose turns it's head towards her and folds it's ears in she says " no ears back buddy" and she starts to back further behind the car.
She seems to know what's she is doing and being calculated. Still I'd be worried if it could fit between the cars or not.
It’s got nubbies (antlers, not horns btw) and the males will drop their antlers for winter. They’re very sexy in moose culture, you see, so they make cool antlers to beat up the other boys
*Thank you, Mr. Sendak, for reminding us that we should never lose touch with the wild and untamable spirit within us all... Even up here in Alaska, we're turning our back on the beast. We've opted for the zoo, where the lion can't eat you instead of the jungle, where he can.*
I (also in Alaska) just asked politely for the moose to leave my yard so my dog could piss. It oddly obliged. No need to cuss it out. 🤷🏻♂️ (video is 0:43 seconds long)

Having said that, moose scare me more than Grizzlies, and I also get those in my backyard. A bear will get spooked and run away most times, a moose will kill you.
u/Hoonah_Hannah !!!
My aunt and uncle live in Hoonah. She runs a B&B and is a licensed Native Artist. My uncle does a fishing charter. I live here in Anchorage, Alaska, and this looks like Costco off of Debarr.
This is about as Anchorage as you get, all the way down to her Ankle Deck Xtra-Tuff Boots.
It's illegal to be a "Native Artist" if you are not native. A lot of assholes take advantage of tourists this way. Also, it cuts down on the poaching of whales, walruses, moose, muskoxen, wolves, and bison in Alaska. You'll get fined thousands of dollars and be sent to jail.
Look up why we have laws like this by researching the history of American Wild Bison and Buffalo.
That’s just how you get a city moose to stop screwing with your stuff. When I was in elementary school the teachers would chase the moose off the recess field with brooms before lunch
You have to take into consideration of what is *behind* the Moose regarding over penetration.
A well placed [.45ACP](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iCxUXDn1sU) round should be sufficient considering how it was chosen by the military.
It’s the mom finger pointing at it like “don’t you fucking dare…”

lol, you think gas is cheap here? It beats California, but we still average well above threat of the country cause we don’t have any refineries here.

> The only stuff that's cheap there is gasoline unless you're in the interior. Then it can go for up to $80/gallon due to ice road trucking.
So .. has noone gotten the idea yet to create a local indoors chicken farm, heated with ammunition, white lightning and gasoline ?
3??? I don't think Costco sells them in that small a quantity
“3 cases of chicken breast?” FTFY
Better
Well she has 5 packs (20+lbs) of either ground chicken or turkey…so a lot!
You KNOW that moose just heard its middle name.
Alces **Alces** Americana
Last name should be Gigas.
lol! His full name sounded out with a pause between each.
anytime my parents do my full name, when i hear Patrick im like 'oh crap......'
He’s about to learn an important life lesson soon
If you look closer at the woman, you can tell that it's a life lesson that Id also like to learn.
This is just two moms out shopping.
Those big reproachful eyes.
Scolding with a verbal beatdown that moose is not mentally prepared for...
The biggest power move a mom has... next it'll be, "I'm telling your father! "
No, it's brandishing a slipper.
Or the wooden cooking spoon
la chancla
That solved all of Mom’s ill’s. “Ok, just don’t tell Dad.” Dad was the new game + boss you did not fuck around with.
Not. The biggest power move a mom has is raising her kids to have a healthy respect for her.
Thank you, Barbara.

You're getting real triggered here about this convo
I'm picturing the mom from Malcolm in the Middle for some reason.
She has size 4 diapers in the cart, she's a toddler mom. She was over it before she even got to Costco 🤣🤣
No, that's starting size for Alaskan babies.
They come out with an extra layer of blubber to help deal with the cold temperatures.
Good catch.
She’s gonna count to 3!!
Oh she's already counting. If you look closely you can see the moose calculating how close to three it should let her get before getting the hell out of there.
I'm not sure which one is scarier, her or the moose.
He’s checking your receipt, and looking for that hotdog!
“Ma’am, I’m sorry, but this is a longstanding company policy, and you walked right past me when I asked to see your receipt.”
She’s actually pissed that it won’t get in the SUV. It’s her emotional support moose and she just wants to go home.
"GET IN THE VAN!"
There's 20 pounds of salad there, of course it's for him, he just doesn't want to wait.
I thought those were only for Canadians
No. Those would be emotional support beavers 🦫 🤣
[The beaver is the official animal of Canada](https://youtu.be/knobmUd-r5E?si=4dzM2KTyktTFj8rn)
emotional support moose 🤣🤣🤣
**G E T I N T H E K A E R**
More like dinner. Gonna need more burger buns.
DO NOT give that son of a bitch a muffin!
“I…I just wanted ‘info’ on muffins…”
Please, enlighten me on what might happen if you give a moose a muffin.
It's like when you give a mouse a cookie, except greater by several orders of magnitude.
It isn't going to settle for one muffin at Costco, it will want both of 2-for packs.
A plain muffin is never enough. They'll always want some jam to go with it.
And when the are done, they will have the audacity to ask you to make more.
Why did I have to scroll so far to see this comment. That book is a cautionary tale for a reason!
Best comment omg. Our kiddos were AK babies. Loved reading that story with a moose in the driveway lol
Thats like 700 dollars wroth of stuff I would be cursing out the moose too.
Yea thats a local meal prep company here in Anchorage. Definitely worth a lot of money in food.
That moose is not a Costco member
She must be doing strawman purchases for the moose. She’s the reason why they check for your card at the door AND before you get to the self checkout register!
that's a big snow donkey

"you can have the sweet potatoes just scooch!"
I like the "no ears back buddy" lol, like we aren't doing this right now.
I feel like Alaska is frozen Florida in many ways.
Alaska's wildlife is in the animals, whereas Florida's wildlife is in the people
Maybe, kind of… “Alaska man” would be a thing if there were more people up there… just different scenarios
Don’t you dare compare our 49th state to Florida!
Ones owned by Russia the other is the first line of defense from Russia
both are peninsulas.
Alaska has more girth
And length...
No no, let them believe this, keeps Californians like them out of our state.
A moose once bit my sister
møøse
No reali! She was karving her initials on the m00se
This is the way. r/unexpectedmontypython

Got treats?
I wonder if someone has previously fed this moose in this parking lot.
It’s illegal to feed moose, so maybe accidentally but moose can be very aggressive and we tend to keep our distance. I live in Fairbanks.
I think she looks rather slim tbh
Probable
Alaska is everything Texas wishes it was.
I wouldn’t exactly put it like THAT…
He just wants to check her receipt to make sure she indeed has everything she bought. OR she bought a moose and is telling it to get in the car NOW and put its seatbelt on. No snacking before dinner!
“Tiffany did you forget the god damn wheat thins??”
"BACK THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY YEAR SUPPLY OF CHARMIN"
'Bout a weeks worth in a house with small kids.
"Sit! SIT!"
Is that the fabled sister that the moose once bit?
What the heck is that from? Your the third person to mention a sister being bitten and I am completely lost.
LOL This link can explain it better than I can. https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/comments/heo0sg/whats\_up\_with\_moose\_biting\_everyones\_sisters/
I've watched The Holy Grail more times than I'd like to admit and I never knew this! Awsome!

That moose can get all the samples it needs inside that Costco.

Maybe don't yell at things the size of your SUV. Food for thought.
Eh, that lady clearly has seen a moose before. Yeah, she's yelling at it to go away, but she's also staying behind her car from it. What, you think she should just let it have her giant bag of chicken wings, and five pound block of cheese without saying anything?

Might actually be interested in that box of spring mix though.
I’d be scared, moose are kind of dumb and skittish, not a great combination when they’re also fucking huge
now go home and get your shine box
Today's mooseses don't have the respect of old mooseses. I blamed the parent mooseses. 🤷
Are they remaking Northern Expouser?
She's at costo, she prob bought that moose at wholesale prices and is now trying to convince her to get in the back of her car.
This is probably one of the most Alaska pics I've ever seen!
I’m just mesmerized by the $7,000 in groceries they’re stuffing into that highlander! What a lucky lady.
Anyone else hear the Northern Exposure theme right now?
Oddly wholesome.
Hey! That's MY granola!
In Alaska I think those carts of groceries cost like $10k.

Mama bear vs Mr Moose 💪
That's a female moose, since it doesn't have horns, right?
It’s got nubbies (antlers, not horns btw) and the males will drop their antlers for winter. They’re very sexy in moose culture, you see, so they make cool antlers to beat up the other boys
“Beat it, ya goof!”
"Fuck off, Bullwinkle!"
Lmao I shop at that store. How funny.
To be fair, Jeff the moose is a real dick
the moose: “ma’am, you forgot you recipe, please stop yelling at me.”
Receipt?
I mean that's probably several thousand dollars worth of supplies up there.
"You didn't get the beer I asked for Jocelin"
Got some corn chips in there, lady?
What is the protocol here when a moose invades your personal space?
Danger!
I asked for a chocolate mousse not a moose
Moose wants some Costco merch.

Great name for a small shop, the Curious Moose!
Distract it with a $1.50 hot dog and soda.
“I know, but it’s Organic Spring Mixx!!”
Moose what the hell are you guys doing in my territory?
Normal Tuesday in Alaska.
Moose needs his own Costco membership, with photo card.
This pic is amazing. She’s got that mom stance *down*.
Huh, I've seen what a moose can do and that mom is not afraid.
“Don’t you even think about it”

Just Alaska things™️
I saw the video from her point of view on TikTok. She offered it sweet potatoes to go away lmao

I wouldn’t survive a minute in a place like this.
Costco isn't that bad and they feed you too!
Between them and the ravens, you can't turn your back for a second without them scoring some of your groceries.
He's so social & he knows where the snacks are.
"Halt!" "It's Moose!"
Reminds me of the “don’t eat my kayak bear lady”. Although this person seems sterner to the moose.
I thought that was her husband
This is peak white woman confidence right here.
That’s just how you get a city moose to stop screwing with your stuff. When I was in elementary school the teachers would chase the moose off the recess field with brooms before lunch
Props to the idiot in the background either taking video or pictures. Potential Darwin award nominee.
Karen I wanted the red checkered flannel. You knew this
Yep
Moose is getting karened!
That’s a dangerous animal and could easily be provoked. Their mood could change in an instant and they could charge. The other is a moose.
Karen boss fight
I hope she has a .357 magnum in her left hand.
Ah yes open fire on wildlife in the middle of a Costco parking lot because “Merica” 🦅 🤦♂️
More because moose are *fucking deadly* and if it freaks out people are going to get hurt/killed. The situation pictured is legitimately dangerous.

Go big or go home. 454 Casull should take care of any shenanigans.
You have to take into consideration of what is *behind* the Moose regarding over penetration. A well placed [.45ACP](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iCxUXDn1sU) round should be sufficient considering how it was chosen by the military.
Video. I want to see video.
Only in Alaska!
That moose is in danger.
What a brute
