For the love of all things sacred and holy, please do not stop in the middle of the isle or main thoroughfare cart and all to gaze around aimlessly.

Place was packed yesterday and half the people are staring into space or at their phone stopped smack dab in the middle of traffic.

I got 2 tons of water battles, tp, and Kirkland Bailey's...my cart doesn't stop and start on a dime.

Also, why do they block unused checkout lanes with carts?

I like to get my $1.50 hot dog first then shop and they block easy access

True, but the giant carts make it 100x worse

eh, the aisles are significantly wider than a typical store, so it evens out.

All the time...any store. Mostly ladies.

But Costco checkouts are the bomb. So fast.

This seems like poor planning.

Aside from that, why is every cashier at Costco in a bitchy mood? Every other employee is nice, but it's like you put them at the register and they instantly change.

These are the same people who walk thru a door and stop 18 inches inside. I swear, the next time this happens and I am pushing a cart, I'm running it right up their ankles.

I like Costco but it seems like there are always multiple Muslims in there when I go

try shopping at the one in Duluth, GA. Good lord...between the Muslims and the Asians and Indians, the smell is unbearable.

And no, the cart etiquette is not the same at any other store. There are many many MANY more people at a Costco at any given time than a regular grocery store.

I hear ya..I just got back from Rouse's..big sale on chicken wings. There was an old gal just standing in the middle of aisle. Turns out she needed help getting water in her cart, took me 5 seconds and I was on my way.

Confused as to why you chose this amount. A ton of water bottles? Ok, you’re just speaking in hyperbole. But 2 tons?

Why buy a $1.50 hot dog? When you can be a cheap freeloading frick and block the aisles scarfing down free samples.

Also, I've got no problem with you stopping for a moment to try a sample, but it's either delicious or it's not. If you need to know everything about the ingredients and/or preparation then pull your cart out of the way to ask those questions.

So they can check your card at the door


Anyone is welcome in the snack area and customer service counter. Members only in the rest of the store.
