    When i was 18, I moved to a new town and had my first apartment. My sister and i went to Costco and i bought a gallon of mustard (cause thr price). Let me tell you, that thing ended up at so many of my friend's houses like it was a split custody child. Took us over a year to use all of it. That mustard was a dirty slut.

      It looks like the prices are about the same as supermarkets here in the UK. The hot dog with the soda would be more like $2.80 here though. Your food in the US is about 75% more expensive than here for some reason.

    I worked at Costco (membership/refunds department) for 7-8 years.
    I used to tell people "we got you from the womb to the tomb" when selling memberships. LOL.
    Favorite returns: Member who returned a microwave with a baked potato still inside, the flood of TVs returned after the Super Bowl, the flood of trees returned after Christmas (some still adorned with tinsel), someone who returned their glider that was struck by lightning on their front porch after they owned it for 11 years (WE TOOK IT BACK), member who returned their TV and told us that it was haunted, member who returned a pressure cooker with corn still inside because they couldn't open the pressure cooker after the corn was finished cooking.
    These are just the tip of the iceberg.

    You forgot one really wild current event: Costo is building like a 450,000 square foot store location in California. The wild part? In order to cut the red tape of commercial building leases, they are opting to provide housing above the store. This allows Costco to avoid denial from local government officials because they are providing affordable housing (something desperately needed in California). 80% of the studio apartments will be classified as section 8. So you can opt to live in essentially a Kirkland Brand studio apartment above costco.

    That’s nothing crazy tho. Today my arch nemesis showed up. She is a bitter old lady, she’s got a mean attitude. Every time she comes in she brings me an item, asks me to scan it and tell her the price, then she scolds me because the price sign fell off. Every single time and she’ll bring me item after item for a good 10-15 mins. It is so bad I walk to the back till she leaves and let someone else deal with it.
    She ran straight to my manager when she came in today, he was working in a different department and super busy. She made him do price checks for her and I told him “she gives me hell everytime she comes in, I walk off”. He was cracking up because I watched the whole encounter go down. Just shit like that and people asking me if we sell cigarettes, water, bananas. Someone tried to get a refund yesterday by putting her item back on the shelf and grabbing a new one instead of going to customer service. She was mind blown you had to go to customer service to get a refund
    Edit: if you ask me where a specific item, 9/10 times I’m not looking it up. I’m gonna look at the sign above us that says what items are on the aisle and take a wild guess. That or I’ll tell you to go look in the deli

    Costco Returns DDC employee here. We'll even take coffins back not to mention forcing members to leave a statement for reason for return which the employees then get to read. From giant Christmas trees saying "Husband died, couldn't fit in new place" to 95" TVs saying "Not user friendly, only one remote." We've even had a returned urn with the ashes still inside that we were forced to hang onto for over a year until the ashes were eventually vacuumed up and the urn cleaned and resold.

    I lived with my grandparents growing up. They used to have 6 kids. When I lived with them, it was just me my uncle and my grandparents and they were still in the mindset of feeding a household of 8, so they continued to shop at Costco all throughout when I was growing up. We had so much food at home. An entire room in the basement for dried and canned foods, two freezers downstairs in addition to our refrigerator was packed with frozen food. We could have lasted multiple years with the food storage we had.
    My memories of shopping at Costco were it took forever to park and was stressful, going inside was noisy, tons of people, and stressful, checking out was at least 20 minutes standing in line, stressful loading everything into the cart, then walking out and getting every item looked over on our receipt before we were allowed to walk out, then packing our car with everything and trying to manouver the maze of getting out of the parking lot, going home, then having to unpack everything before we were done.

      I both agree and disagree. I grew up with my stepdad working at Costco (😔), and worked there for a couple months at the start of Covid.
      while the internet definitely brought out the 1%; the gap between the other 99% isn’t as big as one would like to believe. I’ve seen a lot of Costco superiority in the people; shit like, “why on earth would I ever go to safeway when it’s a 2/3 the price per gallon at Costco,” while buying 4 gallons of milk.
      Idk, it always bothered me. Growing up we’d eat the same shit over and over again because of the quantity; throw good shit away because we’d let it expire. It’s something that can be gluttonous, wasteful, and just overall lame. The quantity limits your options and life gets a little worse as it get boring consuming the same stuff all the time. Try eating the same can of beef stew for lunch until you’re sick of eating it. Then, do it for a month after anyway because it’s going to expire if we don’t. It didn’t ruin my childhood, but definitely made me a snobbier eater, as the thought of Costco hot dogs puts a bad taste in my mouth.
      Overall, imho, chill if you shop at Safeway (etc.) also, as the deals can be great. Otherwise, if you shop exclusively or near exclusively, I think you might be a bit of a loon.

I used to do that all the time when I was younger because I live alone and just *couldn't* finish stuff a lot of the time. For example, I'd buy huge bags of spinach for salads because the big bags were so cheap, except if you know anything about spinach that shit gets nasty in like 2 days, so I would always end up throwing out more than half the bag. "Oh but it was cheap!" But was it really if you don't even consume all of it? Might as well buy a slightly more expensive smaller product and actually get your money's worth from it because you don't need to throw majority of it out.

      Welcome to the wonderful world of conspiracy theories, because scientists don't know as much as you, your computer, and random people with undiagnosed schizophrenia on UA-cam.

      yep, got a lady like that when i worked at Sprouts Farmers Market a few years ago. though that place usually attracts the crazies, so i wasnt too surprised

      Had a similar situation at the Big Lots I worked at. This lady firmly believed I was trying to give her dog "laser poisoning". Why? Just because it was the only item I had to use the remote scanner on. She'd have me lift up the dog food and scan it like the rest. Crazy part? Same scanner for both, just a cradle it sat in normally. People are wild.

    Chicken bakes are chicken, bacon, cheese, and Caesar selling dressing all wrapped in pizza dough, which also has cheese sprinkled on it

    The phone number at the end is for a tavern in Missouri, and it looks like a place you'd absolutely go missing. 10/10
