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

Opening products

Ok shoppers, this is one of the worst things you could do at Costco! While shopping, some customers like to open products that they have no intention of buying. Or, sometimes, they’ll open one product to test it and then buy another that hasn’t been opened.

Customers have a terrible habit of doing this all the time. For instance, they’ll open a packet of tights to see what they look like. And if they’re satisfied, they’ll take a different pack to purchase.

This means that an employee now has to have a full roster of rewrapping, all of those tights, underwear, and so on. Honestly, it’s the worst, especially for clothing. Nine times out of ten, there’s usually a sample or something. Just ask somebody who works there.

Let them properly take it out, and then you can get the size you need.

    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!!!
