Costco employees are distributing customer dirt.
In a Reddit viral threadStore staff shared their hobbies and annoying things that customers make them crazy.
“People who leave perishable in random places throw their garbage in random places, and rudeness, I think we agree, do not belong to Costco,” said the original poster about what bothers them.
“Setting a portable bath and having your child in a food hall was less obvious than they thought,” they added.
The publication quickly gained traction and made other employees intervene with their sources of irritation.
“There are not enough hours in the day to complete this question,” someone joked in response.
An employee enthusiastically marked his list of “pet peers”, even when people stop directly in the middle of the hall, “oblivious to the traffic that surrounds you.” Blocking the catwalks for any reason, which will be having a conversation or moving away to obtain a sample, traffic worsens in an already occupied store.
“Leaving frozen/cold food in random places. This confronted me more. Why are you still doing this?” They exclude, adding that “they literally have to throw it” every time.
“That is as if I came home, taking out the ice cream, just to find it an hour later relaxing in the bathroom,” they complained.

Multiple employees mentioned garbage, noting that they are garbage cans next to the sample stations and at the end of the halls, however, customers still tend to leave their garbage in a cart.
“We have more than 50 trash cans in the store, and still his garbage is reaching the parking lot,” he complained. “Don’t do this, you are an adult adult, do it better.”
“The last one that seems to be a long time in my warehouse is to throw sample cups behind or between the palettes,” he intervened.

Others shared some Creative ideas buyers had While in the warehouse.
“Open containers or apples, grapes, berries, mangoo to make a new package,” said one.
“Treat toys and seasonal games like a babysitter while buying. Nothing stops working faster than children neglected or missing,” said someone.
“The number of times I am in the production refrigerator and I see people who open each grape container to take one and try it to apparently find the pile of grapes that Christ Blessed himself is too high,” another growled.
Employee complaints occur shortly after Costco’s customer satisfaction rate collapses American client satisfaction index.
