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

Have you noticed any of these behaviors at Costco?

Costco is one of our favorite places to shop for quality products and fantastic deals. But according to this warehouse club’s employees, their jobs can be difficult sometimes, especially when dealing with demanding members and annoying habits.

Some customers are rude, while others have habits that are just quietly aggravating. Blocking the front entrance, leaving perishables around the store, and trying to start altercations over warehouse policies are all sure to annoy Costco employees.

From ditching your cart to putting hot rotisserie chicken in plastic bags, there are many things you may be doing at Costco that you should stop immediately.

A  study found that the promise of deals can lead consumers away from fully acknowledging the human qualities of employees. Are you guilty of doing these things?

Costco employees have talked about all the frustrating things customers do in the store regularly, and yikes… it sounds like we’re doing these 7 things completely wrong!

    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 !!!
