The COSTCO Thread

that is your only complaint? I have a lot of complaints, albeit small ones. For example, checking the receipt as you leave. Hate it.

My 3 year old used to enjoy the little smiley faces the receipt check people draw on the receipts. On the last few trips to Costco even she hasn't been impressed. I'm back to hating it again.

I guess I was "staying in that (refrigeration) area" with SMR. I've already expressed my frustration with the whole receipt checking process, especially our's insistence on scribbling some stupid cartoon fort children on the back side of it. Because that's what I want, to stand there for an extra 30 seconds for something that my kids are going to fight over.

You wouldn't believe how many avocados we buy and then throw away when they get overripe. Drives me nuts.

Avocado smoothies dude. Freeze anything you can't use for later.

Rack that. I hate it for that reason too.

Checking the receipt is only a very minor inconvenience, IMO.

Maybe the real question is, are they really checking anything to begin with?

I always thought it was a joke. One day I was walking out and this old lady glanced at the receipt and then glanced at my full cart and said, "You bought three bags of pellets but they only charged you for two."

there is a cute middle aged lady at the lehi costco that will sometimes check receipts but more often she is checking cards as people walk into costco.

By the way, check out the new guacamole at Costco. Can't remember the brand name, but each package contains about 12 small containers. The problem with pre-made guac is that once you open it, it starts to oxidize and go dark. This packaging solves that. And the flavor is very good.

Costco used to carry Wholly Guacamole in packets. Every time I go in I request that they bring them back. Love those.

My Costco has Ken checking cards and sometimes receipts. He's like Utahs version of Samuel L Jackson. I don't think people would try to steal from his store. I like Ken, though his smiley faces could use some work.

At my Sams, the guy just marks a line on the receipt in a squiggly way. rarely even looks at what's in my cart. I think he does it for show.

Not all Clubs are like that. There is one in the Dayton region where the guy draws a smile face. Very nice to always leave on a positive note.
