I do not understand why people aren’t satisfied with the uppermost (open) case of whatever when there’s a large stack (and, let’s face it–everything is stacked at Costco). I watch them struggle to lift 4 or 5 cases so they can pick one box of raisins from the 5th level down. I get if there was one left on top that was crushed or some other moron opened…but, really?

The other one is the family of 5 that walk next to each other (think front line of an NFL team) while pushing the cart as slowly as possible down the ‘wrong’ side of the aisle.

    Just generally anyone with a bad case of main character syndrome, no self awareness and bad manners. We’re all here to shop ma’am just let me through.

    Cart stealing! I left my cart for thirty seconds by the clothing and it was gone. The Costco worker nearby said it happens every day. Apparently people don’t think they will need a cart, walk all the way to the back, realize they need a cart, and just grab one that someone else has walked away from. People are apparently too lazy to walk back to the front to get a cart.

      I’ll put an item or two in the cart right off the bat, and people are less likely to take it. Eventually I’ll put the items back.

    For me it’s the fact that knowing that walking through that door guarantees I’m going to be at least $75 poorer in the next couple of hours.

      Nothing crazier than going for a gallon of milk and then walking out with half the store. Seems to be a common occurrence for us.

    People who line up for samples and block spaces.

    People who just leave their carts in the isle and walk off.

    People who stand in the middle of the way and debate/converse if they actually need the item.

    I can keep going.

      Genuinely curious about why leaving a cart in an aisle and walking off is considered a faux pas.

      I typically leave my cart in a less congested aisle to go and get items in another aisle while leaving it butted up next to some items in a way that keeps the aisle free and allows people to get to whatever it’s parked next to.

      How is this seen as an inconvenience?

    Standing right next to the food court POS systems, or right in front of the counter, just after getting their receipt.

    The parking lots. People drive like fucking lunatics, park like assholes, I’ve nearly been hit or had my spot stolen by someone who sees me about to turn and then darts in so many times.

    The person standing in the middle of the aisle looking at their phone

    The people who come barrelling out of a side aisle without looking

    People whose kids are running rampant

    Can you tell I just came from Costco???

    Every table in the food court being taken by individuals leaving no room for families.
