People at Costco really need to slow down

[ThePresence]

I was moving along the main aisle with my shopping cart, some woman with 19 kids hanging all over her cart comes flying full-speed from a side aisle while she's busy reading the box of her latest purchase. My cart hit hers and she starts telling me that I should watch where I'm going. I just shook my head and kept on moving, I probably should've given her a piece of my mind.

She probably drives her car like that too. You can really tell how bad people drive on the road by the way they maneuver their shopping carts in a supermarket/giant box store.

19 kids hanging off a cart? they must be midgets.

stuff happens, and these are the morons that i tend to avoid at all costs lest i catch their stupidity.

Sounds like Costco takes food stamps now. Will they honor them on a DLP projection TV?

People with their carts at Costco are especially bad. Some people there lose their minds or something. One time I was in a line that wrapped around the pharmacy, and of course everyone is parked all crooked. So this elderly lady is like, "Can I get behind your cart?" (I was parked in the aisle closest to the wall shelves). So in order to move, I had to ask either the person in front of me to move or the person behind me to move, so I ask the elderly woman whether she need to be in front of me or behind me so I can ask everyone else to shift. She starts freaking out and yelling at me, something like "I just want to get to those products! I want you to move!" Crazy man. Absolutely crazy.

Poor DLP TV will have no chance against 19 midgets.

Have you seen some of those carts? They can total a car!

They need to put a scale and a fitting frame (just like for hand carry in airport) in front of entrance and deny entry to anyone who doesn't fit in. :|

I swear, Sam's Club and Costco customers are bizarre. I've seen them walk past someone who is looking at an item on the shelf, then step in front and grab the same item. It's like- if you're buying some of that, then I'm gonna buy some too.

Yeah, that's me, I do that all the time, especially w/ the rotisserie chicken.

Wow, usually they are walking so damn slow and gawking at everything when i'm in there, and I get stuck behind the lady with 19 kids walking like she's in slow motion, while taking up the entire aisle.

 

[secretanchitman]

but seriously, costco has an excellent return policy. my mom returned an outdated canada dry ginger ale bottle, but we had already opened it, yet STILL they gladly took it back and told us to grab another one.

yes you are right though. i think that *bullet time* needs to be implanted at that store, as well as sams.

 

[pyonir]

Now that i'm thinking about it, you know what really pisses me off about costco (and sam's club)? The lines at the checkout. You have 10 people standing in each checkout line, and each person has 100 things. It takes forever. You have 20 checkout lines/registers, USE THEM.

I make sure I don't hit anybody with my cart at Costco...

Course, when there's an empty aisle, with a cart full of stuff, who says you can't have fun? :laugh:

I hate the fact that people stand in the middle of the damn isles waiting for samples like its dinner time. Then there are kids running around like maniacs to each stand getting free food. Stop the free samples.

Plus lock up the diapers and baby formula. At the costco around my house there is constantly diapers opened and being stolen along with baby formula, my sister says make sure to lift the plastic lid to make sure the can is still sealed because lots of people just cruise over open it up and fill up their kids bottle. She says she has seen people changing their kids diapers in the store using store diapers.
