Opening products

Ok shoppers, this is one of the worst things you could do at Costco! While shopping, some customers like to open products that they have no intention of buying. Or, sometimes, they’ll open one product to test it and then buy another that hasn’t been opened.

Customers have a terrible habit of doing this all the time. For instance, they’ll open a packet of tights to see what they look like. And if they’re satisfied, they’ll take a different pack to purchase.

This means that an employee now has to have a full roster of rewrapping, all of those tights, underwear, and so on. Honestly, it’s the worst, especially for clothing. Nine times out of ten, there’s usually a sample or something. Just ask somebody who works there.

Let them properly take it out, and then you can get the size you need.

  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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,
