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

Expecting premium service at a warehouse store

Remember, Costco is a warehouse store with constantly changing inventory and may differ in all their locations. But apparently, that doesn’t sit well with certain types of customers.

You might be used to having windshield washing fluid and squeegees at the gas pumps you usually go to and not at others. Just because they have them in Montana doesn’t mean they’ll have them in Washington.

Others may complain that their regular location has sliced bread, and others don’t. The end result? Customers tend to take out their frustrations on the employees. We must remember that they’re getting paid to do a job and are doing their best.

The types of products in the store, or lack there of, are not up to them.

    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!!!
