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

Shopping off the rack

Costco employees say that you should NEVER touch the deli racks. Instead, grab the products you need from the counters only! Here’s how it works: They bring out racks of food from the deli to stock the counters.

But most people think it’s just easier to grab whatever they need off the rack, so they don’t mess up the display. This is a bad idea, though, because they could actually be taking out the product or re-pricing it. You never really know.

So while you may think that you can simply grab and take, you’re really just creating more work for them. Also, sometimes products with upcoming expiry dates end up on the rack as well when employees are moving them.

So it’s a risky move to take products from there. We suggest you just stick to the counters.

    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!!!
