I’ll never set foot in that hell hole again if I can help it, especially with how easy it is to avoid nowadays
Just go earlier in the morning, it is very quiet in the morning by me and everyone is usually pleasant.
Miserable shopping experience for me is going to the mall, the only saving grace is the asian place in the food court and somehow Gringo's is able to sell beer and margaritas.

If you order the same each week, could you consider Sam's where you can place the order in the evening and pick it up when you want it the next day?

Does Costco still not have a scan and go like feature? It’s the entire reason I have stayed with Sam’s because being able to scan my items as a I shop and pay as I am walking out the door is the best. It really doesn’t matter how crowded it is now because I can maneuver around people, what I couldn’t do before was get past the long arse lines to checkout.

I worked there briefly. They are shady!

Guess you've never made the mistake of telling the wife you'll go to the mall with her and she decided it's a good time to buy a dress........Two hours later and she's still trying them on and then winds up buying the first one she took into the dressing room.

Sam’s also delivers for free to my house

Costco is legitimately the only store I can stay in for more than an hour and a half just looking at stuff.

Isn't the miserable implied when going shopping? It requires spending money.

100% agree. Also, they carry a product and just stop carrying it. Very frustrating.

If the product isn’t selling it’s gone. Because of their limited SKU’s they cut bait quickly.

For me it’s Verizon. I absolutely hate having to go into that store for anything. Even when the store is empty, it’s minimum 1-hour

Yep, my biggest pet peeve is when the carry a product for months and it suddenly disappears and may never return again, or does so months later.
All stores move products around by design to get shoppers to impulse buy as they look for what they have on their list as they are looking for what they came for.

Book online and make an appointment. Easy Peasy.

Yea this kinda blows but time of day helps a lot .Go early on a weekday. I can do a gas top up and get essentials in less than an hour. Also grab a $1.50 hotdog and drink.

Costco
Them's fighting words...
We popped in today for a few things (usually never do this on a Saturday) and I am always amazed how fast they get people out of there. This is the BR store, though. They have a fully functional operation.
The Apple store, on the other hand, stresses me out. But it's a hair better than any AT&T store, so I go there.

I have been an Apple user for over 30 years. There is no need to go to the Apple Store unless you have a device that is acting up.

If you’re not Executive level, just be there when the big doors open for everyone. It’s never that crowded early in the morning. Leave your cart in an out of the way spot when you go into the produce or dairy freezers. When you’re leaving, use the aisle down the middle of the clothing section to approach the registers; don’t walk down the big aisle way over to one side

You can buy them anywhere. Even online.
