People who try the little demo samples then leave the dirty paper cups in the steel storage, on the floor, in the produce, etc etc etc, despite there being garbage cans at the end of almost every fucking aisle - fuck off.

People who bring an obscene amount of groceries through, im talking like 2 full carts or more, and want boxes for ALL of it - fuck off.

For that matter, people who come midday during a rush when there's no boxes at the tills because there's no floor staff to go and collect them because they're all at the front helping, getting pissed off because there's no boxes - fuck off.

People who get offended because they have to pay their renewal before any of their shit gets scanned - pay your goddamned renewal if you want to shop here, then fuck off.

People who stand and wait at the demo table F-O-R-E-V-E-R, forming a longass line, to get one little morsel of food while blocking everybody else's path, fuck off.

People who meet somebody they know and have a conversation in the middle of the aisle, blocking everybody's path and not giving a shit, fuck off.

People who park right on the godddamned fire lane beside the liquor store, who complain to the employee that 'they'll only be a minute', fuck off.

People who literally park under the bigass sign saying NO PARKING TRUCKS TURNING, fuck off.

People who tear apart a giant pallet of strawberries because they think the freshest are at the bottom, when they're too fucking stupid to realize the entire thing comes as is off the truck so the condition at the bottom is the same as at the top, fuck off.

People who reach up and tear the plastic off the bottom of a pallet in the storage steel to get at a product they can't find when the same goddamned product is not even 20 feet away, fuck off.

People who 'buy' shit (more like rent) and then return it (ie a huge order of chairs for like a wedding) but then try to cover it up with some idiotic reasoning like we didn't like them or they were the wrong color, fuck off.

For that matter, people returning anything for the most goddamned stupid reasons possible (i've seen it all), fuck off. (Though Costco is to blame for that as well - our return policy is so fucking chill it's ridiculous. Tower fans returned because 'summer is over', 15 year old big box tv's returned for a full refund, jesus christ i could go on and on)

People who ask, do you work here, when the name tag is staring at you right in the face, fuck off.

People who ask the produce guy way on the other side of the building, what size of battery would fit their car, fuck off.

People who act like cattle when a forklift is being brought on the floor to drop something, who even after the rapid beeping, continue to stare at it and not move out of the fucking way like slackjawed assholes, fuck off.

People who get offended at the employees because the employees politely tell the kids not to play on top of the cement freezer curbs or hang off the underside of carts etc for their safety, fuck off.

Everyone else, thanks and have a good day :) Hugs and kisses :)

All reasonable to get annoyed at minus the returns point. That's on Costco and it's fair game that people use the policy so long as they don't abuse it.

A majority of Costco's profit comes from membership fees anyways.

I heard Costco is a good company to work for. I shopped there when it was Price Club and in all these years since I was only dissatisfied with one purchase - a sweater that fell apart in the wash.

I would like to add shoppers who after finish using their carts, just leave them anywhere rather than return them to where they got it or the many places among the parking where the carts go.

But that also happens at every grocery market with carts.

Reading this thread, you sure do a whole lot of whining. Guess what, champ? That's your fucking job. Putting up with everything you listed, that's all part of it. You wanna have a big cry? If you hate retail, don't work retail.

Are you an adult? I hope not. If you are, it's time to grow up.

Why is that one bad? You guys don't have bags or anything like that so boxes are kind of necessary to help pack all that stuff in the car and carry it in.


It's not so much that, it's that both the cashier and the packer are hurrying to box all of it up as fast as possible (and ohhhhh boy if the customer wants it packed a certain way and turns into director mode) because it takes a while and everyone behind them increasingly gets annoyed that they're being ignored when they're next.

Pretty bold calling other people robots, since you're probably going to be replaced by one. You're right though, it's unfair of me to intrude on your safe space. You deserve a big whiner-baby echo box to share your feelings in.

can't really blame the consumers for the stupid sample issues

literally decades of economic studies that flat out says that's the business's fault for offering samples in the first place...
shake a bucket of grain and cattle will ram the fuck out of each other rippin shit up to get to it
the same applies when you indicate to random people theres "FREE FOOD"

if the business (or its employees) didnt want stupid shit to happen, should have regulated it better

I too work at Costco and I too driving a forklift. I tagged you appropriately, I work at the depot. So we're the guys who pack your trucks and send them to the store.

And I want to apologize for sending shit in messed up or slightly off the pallet. We absolutely know about the condition once it's in, we just can't be arsed to take it out and reposition it most of the time.

It's all good man. A lot of times its our fault too. Like i drive receiving on the weekends but the regular guy through the week, he'll accidentally shred bags of dog food, spreading it everywhere but then blame it on the depot. He'll wreck the pallets the stuff is sitting on, but again blames it on the depot. Im like c'mon buddy, i just watched you do it lol. Not to mention he complains the pallet tags are in the wrong side, when its like a 5 second job to spin them the right way. Oh well.

I think we needed to ban customers from entering the store premises with Starbucks cups back when I worked retail.

The amount of empty/nearly empty Starbucks cups I found on shelves was unacceptable. Is hanging on to a small plastic cup for a little bit longer going to wear your arms out? So rude. But that's Scottsdale for you.

Yeah costco is notorious for how well they pay... if you were working anywhere else these might be valid complaints, but for what you're paid, it should be a lot easier to put up with. Though I too tend to turn mole hills into mountains as those minor annoyances occur over and over.

A lot of these are also extremely inconsiderate to other shoppers. I mean yeah people getting paid have to expect some annoyances but theres definitely a point where people just need to remember that they arent the only ones there.

That matters to you guys? I do that all the time because the pallets are leaning to the side a bit in the building. Not doing that means we'd have to put one straight, one sideways, then one straight, then one sideways. But doing that more then once per truck takes away enough room that there won't be enough for the final row.
