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.

Thank you!!!
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,
