oh you know what if they were sean john's sweatpants it would have been fine but
because they're costco brand it's like the worst thing i could do have you ever looked
at someone doing their retail job and wondered what is going on inside their head what little
nugget of information are they sitting on and why won't they bless us all with their wisdom
well wonder no more because here are the top 10 costco employees hidden secrets you
did not know part two working at costco is better than going to the gym so i currently work at a gym
how many of you have experienced a lack of time to do basic exercise because of your busy schedule
like take a walk or hit the gym once in a while well walking around five to eight miles per shift
costco employees sure don't have that problem when it comes to staying in shape they have to stay on
their feet for the majority of the day cater to customers needs run back and forth in the giant
warehouse and do a lot of manual labor it's like an all-day gym pass so it's kind of like you're
getting paid to exercise what it's a dream morty however it's not always rainbows and butterflies
you know all those 50 pound bags of flour and endless pallets of cat litter and dog food
well they have to be stacked by someone don't they stacking goods way up to the ceiling can cause a
lot of strain on the body as many employees have attested well good thing the job comes with health
insurance that's for sure constantly piling up merchandise on the shelves and staying sharp on
your feet are all part of this challenging job which also helps employees stay fit
without even having to leave their workplace looks healthy your membership can be revoked
promise revoked it's no secret that you should always be kind and courteous to people working
in retail it's just common sense it's also not a secret that you should be as equally
mindful of the establishment i.e not destroy the merchandiser trying to shoplift any product
in extreme circumstances costco employees are allowed to revoke your membership if you're
not abiding by the store's rules so if you're caught stealing or are involved in any kind
of physical altercation inside the store you can say bye-bye to your privileges as a member
honestly that sounds like something that should be implemented at every store costco even hires fake
customers to go around and pretend to shop to catch the potential culprits attention everybody
eyes on me hi even though employees find that these spies are usually pretty easy to spot
they still rely on them to report any sort of misbehavior now if someone commits a less severe
infraction like being verbally aggressive or being a frequent over-returner it'll be noted in
a little comment section but they won't be asked to hand over their memberships yet although maybe
they should be in some cases one thing is for sure though if you're rude to the good people at costco
they may forgive but never ever forget free samples are unlimited eat as much as you can
raise your hand if you've ever agreed to go to costco just so you could walk around and try
every single free sample stand you saw well you're probably not the only one the free samples are
probably one of the coolest perks of shopping at costco but did you know that you could actually
take as many samples as you want without feeling guilty since a limit on treats can't be enforced
you can stuff yourself with the whole tray of mini hot dogs if you want sample employees who are not
part of costco's staff are even encouraged to distribute as many free samples as they can
so it doesn't matter if you eat one or eight all by yourself the more the merrier seems to be the
motto here free sample all right i'm on it but it might make the process of asking for another taste
easier if you're particularly nice and polite with the sample stand worker you no longer need
to walk around the store aimlessly and pretend to be a different person if you want another
piece of that cheese just go ask you don't need a disguise they will gladly give you as many little
cups of cheese as you want in may of 2020 costco had to say goodbye to the in-store food sample
as a response to the growing pandemic but luckily they've slowly brought back some
sampling only now they feature packaged goods you know what free cookies and breadsticks
we'll take it there's a hidden convenience store i'll show you where they are ah the break room
a place where mysterious and magical things happen or so we'd like to think but in costco's case it
might just be true while employees are typically allowed to eat their lunches in the food court
with the rest of the customers some prefer the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the break room
or they simply don't fancy pizza or hot dogs as their daily meals and for a good reason
let's just say that in some locations the break rooms look more like mini convenience stores than
actual employee rooms with rows and rows of vending machines filled with fresh meals snacks
and sodas it's like they have their own personal little convenience store designed just for them
with reasonable prices and a complete kitchen to prepare your meals with your own groceries
costco employees have everything they need to relax and enjoy their breaks the break rooms are
not the same at every costco and the new designs haven't been implemented at all the stores yet
but it's definitely something that should catch on as the new trend you know how whenever a store
has a good idea it gets picked up by everybody else well here's to hoping the break room at
your workplace gets a makeover this cool pretty soon hey guys lunch break in 10.
you don't actually need a membership card no way if you don't feel ready to commit to a year-long
membership or if you simply don't plan on going to costco often enough worry not you can still
enjoy quite the shopping experience nonetheless you don't actually need to pay the full 60 dollar
annual fee to benefit from the wonderful fines at costco there are in fact many loopholes to
go around the system the most obvious one is to go with a family member or a buddy who's
already a member they're allowed to bring up to two guests with them when they're shopping
so you can just tag along and snack on the free samples without even spending a dime if you want
but if you like having your independence you can ask that same buddy to buy you a costco shop card
which allows you to roam the alleys freely without having to be accompanied by a member
pretty neat especially if you just want to buy one or two things from time to time like those
giant peanut butter jars yum but regardless of those approaches if you just want some alcohol
and eye exam to fill your prescription at the pharmacy or even shop online you can do so
without any worry just stroll down to your local costco to get the goods sadly you can no longer
eat at the food court without a membership the end of an era beloved by the non-members
if you want that costco hot dog you can't bypass the rules unless maybe you ask your buddy to buy
you one but you have to pay me back you can order your food at the register first come first serve
you know that long and endless line for the food court you dread every time you go to costco but
still stand in just because you can't get enough of that mighty pizza well turns out you can
actually avoid a great part if not all of the wine by just ordering your food at the register while
you're paying for your groceries mind-blowing right no more waiting around for that hot dog
combo with your arms full nay all you have to do is ask the cashier to scan what you want on the
clipboard menu next to the register the price will be added to your receipt then go over to
the pickup area show your receipt and voila you can have your costco feast without all the fuss
of waiting in the never-ending line like a mere commoner sure if it's a busy day and some other
people also know this little hack you might wait a little bit but it'll still be significantly faster
that's for sure over are the days of having to say no to your precious pizza because you were
in a hurry and the line was too long a hidden little hack perfect if you hate waiting next
avoid sundays like the plague not too early i sleep in sundays oh my fly your shoes are
dying this is something every costco employee will tell you if you ask them when's the worst
time to go do your shopping actually pretty much any retail employee will tell you the same thing
sundays are without a doubt the busiest days at costco shopping there during peak hours is sure
to give your body the biggest fight or flight response as you navigate through the frenzied
crowd in search of your jumbo bag of chips if you want to avoid the loud cramped and chaotic
crowd maybe it's best you avoid certain hours of the day many costco employees have reported that
aside from the obvious weekends mondays are a close second when it comes to busy days to shop
they advise people who want a calm and quiet shopping experience to come on tuesdays
wednesdays or thursdays as they tend to be the least crowded days of the week but it's not just
about the day but also about the time if you're planning to go to costco during lunch hour you
also need to expect the ridiculously huge number of people who think just like you the best time to
shop at costco is probably anywhere between 3 to 5 p.m right after the lunch hour but right before
the end of work rush a perfect balance however if you're willing to risk it all for the free samples
then sunday it is hmm that's a tough choice your coupon book is useless i really want that coupon
book coupons are undoubtedly one of the best ways to save money when you're planning your grocery
shopping spree but let's be honest it can get a little irritating having to cut every single
coupon to put in your binder or worse even when you forget to do so and you have to awkwardly rip
them off on the side of the counter while the line grows impatiently behind you well costco found the
one solution to this annoyance and the employees are telling you to leave your coupons at home
that's right you don't need to drag around that big binder full of coupons even if you're an avid
couponer if there's a deal at the store it'll automatically be applied when the cashier scans
the article which is literally ingenious that's what i'm talking about when you receive your
costco booklet in the mail you can just circle what interests you make a list and then just head
down to costco to scavenge the store in search of big red tags and there you go but why print a
booklet at all if it's all marked up at the store anyway well they'll still need to scan the barcode
to ensure that all of your coupons are applied but then again there's an app for that so why print
it at all probably for the people who actually do bring their booklets everywhere and actually enjoy
couponing but for those forgetful ones out there the app is there to save the day so don't worry
about your coupon cutting technique and just enjoy the savings volunteer on the total is negative
8.84 we actually owe her money they sell covid 19 kits online i know a lot of us have been feeling
under the weather lately it's that time of year in the midst of this dreadful pandemic costco has
come up with a safe and reliable way to get tested for covid 19 from the comfort of your own home
and yes it was authorized by the fda this diy kit is a telemedicine platform made by a company
called azova which consists of a saliva test for the modest price of 129.99 an extra 10 if you want
one with a video observation okay maybe not that modest but it still beats getting a q-tip jammed
in your nose now while they haven't been fully approved by the fda yet they were still authorized
to be put on the market considering the urgency of the situation and these kits aren't available
just to anyone you will need to complete a health assessment as well as an online questionnaire to
determine if you're eligible to order one now it's not exactly a secret per se but not many people
are aware that these types of kits are available at their favorite store turns out you really can
find everything at costco just made my weekly run to costco covid 19 regulations overlooked
because of the pandemic that's been ravaging our lives for the last several months everybody has
had to make compromises and adapt to a new way of living and that includes big corporations like
costco last october however some employees at a canadian store decided to quit and call out the
wholesale giant for not being as transparent with their customers as they claim to be
improper sanitation unenforced mask policies and irregular social distancing have all been
reported by multiple employees saying costco was not following the government-mandated
pandemic protocol as much as costco claims to be blunt and honest with its customers
the same store failed to mention that one of their employees had tested positive for coven 19
and was told to just keep on working until the end of his shift that doesn't sound very honest
now does it and on top of that the staff members claimed that there had been no disinfection or
shutdowns following their colleagues positive test yes working for a decent salary and having
insurance sounds heavenly but is it really worth putting your health in jeopardy tap that screen
