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!

    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!!!
