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!
Thank you!!!
I THINK COSTCO SHOULD ERECT A SIGN THAT STATES – PLEASE DONT BE LAZY AND LEAVE PERISHABLE FOODS IN OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE STORE, YOU ARE CAUSING THE PRICING OF ITEMS HIGHER FOR OTHERS AS WELL FOR YOURSELF.. THEN THERE ARE THOSE WHO OVER LOOK THE ITEM DON’T BRING IT TO ATTENTION OF STORE EMPLOYEE EITHER.
65% PEOPLE FEEL THEY HAVE RIGHTS TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT THESE DAYS, IT SAD!!! WHY STEALING IS ON THE RISE, PEOPLE SHOULD BE THANKFUL THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE ITEMS IN BULK ( ESPECIALLY LARGE FAMILIES) THEN GOING TO REGULAR GROCERY STORE …
KEEP UP GOOD WORK I LIKE YOUR SYSTEM !!! NEED PUT IN COSTCO UP NORTH WEST OF PHOENIX BY WICKENBURG, AREA
These points are true in any big box store. I work part-time at the largest home improvement store in the US. I have seen every one of these things done routinely in our store.
I love Costco and not guilty of any of the problems the employees are having except for one! I hve opened a package to make sure of the size and feel the material! But only maybe twice in 40 years.
Actually I was a first member when Price Club opened in San Diego on Moreno street.
I will always try to be a pleasant customer and respectful of all your employees!
Thank you for this opportunity,

Honestly. I work in retail and they can’t even read the signs. They say “the sign said” we’ll if they actually read the sign it was a different product. BUT they will argue with you. So a sign is futile.
I hate that they move things to different locations.
I get use to finding certain things on my list at the prior location; but not there, instead it’s in a location that makes no sense; for example; all nuts should be together, but some days they will be in the area with no connection to nuts !!
Same with one location for kumbcha one week, then a completely different location the next !!
A total waste of my time and frustrating !!!
