I do not like thse giant lean hamburgers they sell. They are too thick and too dry when cooked. Everything else is very good.

My husband loves the 1/3 lb hamburgers ….. he would love 1/2 lb burgers if they were available!! On the other hand, I feel they are entirely too large for anyone, but it’s certainly not my place to tell anyone what to eat. Personally, I don’t eat many burgers but when I do, I enjoy it and definitely prefer they never be over 1/4 lb.

I never buy the burgers, too much in the package and too lean. However, I must confess I'm a big fan of their ribeyes and pork loins.

Double charged… lol…! They barely glance at my merchandise.
No business is going to stop customers to check receipts at door to make sure they were not double charged for a scan error. they are looking for shoplifters 100% no matter what they say, and I think that is smart.

I hate small talk after 8 years retail making small talk ( it was all company scripts we had to learn 99% cashier and workers just want to do their job and move everyone out so they can have so time to themselves their is no peace when required to make small talk with everyone. So I did testing at Costco no small talk and I was judge As A Shoplifter long stops counting every idem rechecking recite, even had them grabbing my medications to check them out at that time I get very loud ( and management runs over to stop them from going through my medications ) 50 % door checkers don't understand hippa. Everett wa. Smoke Point wa. Repeatedly, once at Burlington wa. Management did some training very fast never again there. When I make small talk their just mark the recite with their marker NO Checking of cart and Don't EVEN LOOK AT THE RECITE. Costco you LIE ABOUT LOOKING FOR DOUBLE BILLING you must think we're real dummies

When you agree to the terms of membership and pay your membership fee at costco, you are agreeing to have your receipt checked at exit. It's places like walmart or target where you have a valid complaint. Not Costco. Or may be I'm wrong?

You are absolutely correct. Costco is a membership club the contract you sign when you're applying for your Costco card authorizes them to check your purchases and receipts. Box stores that are open to the public do not necessarily have that right.

If nothing else, stopping people at the door and checking their receipt is a deterrent. Retail stores have had to watch their inventories walk out the door for years. If you are offended by the company checking your receipt in an attempt to slow down the pilferage … why? They need to do what is necessary and control their inventory losses.
To make sure someone isn’t accidentally charged twice….I’m sure 🙄

Acually true. It happend to me. I was promptly refunded the overcharge
I only buy the frozen patties from Costco. Grassfed
I pointed at something in my cart and asked the door checker how much it cost. When he replied he didn't know, how could he see if I was over charged. Next time I came back to the store the sign stating why they checking was gone.
I love Costco more than any other store out their... but the receipt thing is 100% a blatant lie.
They also check who they want to for costco card...I've seen them let some in and check me for it... Messed up!!!

I lived in Hawaii for several years, they lock up the spam and canned corned beef or keep it behind the service desk.
Checking for double scans sounds like absolute bullsh*t. Sam's Club checks too, only they use a hand scanner to ensure that the items they check are on the receipt.
Costco is where we get 95 percent of our meats ,shrimp and chicken.I trust them implicitly. Quality I believe is instilled in their employees.

A priori the customer is guilty in Costco. Suspected. But this is an American life. The card doesn't mean a club member. It's mean only extra charge for no service. Around 40% items I have double-checked the same time. This is not a club!

Could you repeat that in English
I went to get in a newly opened line one time and the girl scolded me to let the person with way more stuff in line and when I went to leave I heard someone on the radio tell the front door I had an unscanned item that I put on the belt . I had to go wait in line all over as I needed it, I told the manager and they asked her she denied it. I called corporate and filled out a complaint to review and a week later was sent an apology email and an electronic gift card. That was petty to lie and lose a job
I just believe the reason that rumor was stared because of disgruntled employees..

Used to work at Costco, even I didn't know that about the receipt thing. It doesn't surprise me at all though, pretty much 99% of our training was about how to treat members with respect and courtesy. A lot of our job was to make the experience as pleasant and helpful for the members as possible on top of the normal grocery maintenance routine. I remember my supervisor once told me "if a customer just wants you to walk them around the store and talk to them for 30 minutes, do it." Also, the idea that somebody felt so offended about being receipt checked that they wrote an article about it is hilarious lol, that's ridiculous.

00:33 here you go miss, a skewer of chickens...
I've also had my receipt checked at Costco and the receipt checker asked if I got my cash (I had chosen the option to get cash at check out) and I had walked away without getting it. By the time I started back to the checker, they were running my way to catch me to give me my $100. There is alway a Woke naysayer about their feelings and rights...but it's all legit and about customer service!
Good advice 👍
Thanks so much!
I will tell you as a carnivore eater the 88-12 ground beef is way fattier than 80-20. They mix in way more fat than they are claiming.
After my fathers death I took several cases of cigarettes back to Costco for a refund which the manager gladly accepted and gave me condolences. I would be proud to work for this organization.
I'm going to shoplift something and then put it in my cart on the way to the exit door?
A bunch of lies
Sure..... it's for checking double charges. Come to los angeles where some costcos are closer to the poor areas and say that.
I do not I do not mind them checking my receipt if they will not Mark only writing on the receipt that is my paper not theirs they have no right to mark on it
I’m sick of Costco slapping on a “Prime” sticker on their briskets. There is no such thing as a Prime brisket, by USDA definition. In fact the USDA only accepts that there are seven primal cuts and not a single cut comes from the front legs area.
@blackvar0
Жыл бұрын
You are very wrong. So wrong I wonder if you're trolling. The prime rating means that the carcass was graded as Prime by a USDA inspector at harvest, so all cuts from that carcass would be graded Prime, and the brisket is a primal cut, as well as the shank, both from the forend of the animal

Wait....I kinda see your point in that it seems almost like an oxymoron to label brisket and other chewy cuts of beef as prime. But isn't the entire cow labeled prime? How can only certain sections of it be prime and other areas not? That doesn't make any sense.
I call BS on the excuse they check receipts at the door. (1) they could do that at the register (2) they could make it voluntary and let customers decide if they want their items verified against the receipt and let everyone else pass by
