7 Worst Things You Can Do at Costco, According to Employees

Miscalculating your shopping list

Misjudging your Costco shopping list is also a big no-no if you want to avoid causing more work for the employees in the store.

It’s frustrating for them because customers frequently refuse a cart or box, only to pick up more things than they can carry and drop their stuff all over the floor.

They might have their arms full, walking up to the front and putting the eggs or a laundry detergent on top of everything they’re walking with. And then, of course, everything falls off, and they end up making a huge mess.

There’s a reason why employees suggest grabbing a free box from the produce section to help carry your things. And they do have lots of boxes for you to use. If you do happen to have an accident, though, you should ask a staff member for help immediately.

Pro Tip: Are you moving and in need of boxes to pack everything up? Go to Costco in the morning at the front of the registers. That’s the best time to find the good boxes. Just grab however many you need and go. They’re free!

    Then why do they put a plastic bag dispenser next to the rotisserie chickens????
    The new chick-n-a-bag packaging makes sense.

    Unfortunately this is America today lazy, disrespectable and greedy. I see it on the highway as well people drive as if the road is theirs and theirs only. I don’t know how we got here but things need to change soon. I would think that a lot of this is caught on camera, how about posting pictures on a bulletin board or showing quick video clips of these actions on a large screen. That might make it very embarrassing seeing yourself on camera.

    I totally Disapprove of them checking every receipt on the way out when they can clearly see you go from the register to the door.

    I’ve seen those things that your employees complain of, and think: How can people be so lazy and disrespectful. And yes, even perishables. How about the idiots who leave shopping carts diagonally in the middle of the aisle so that someone can’t pass without saying “excuse me”? LOVE COSTCO!!!
