[@Kyotosomo]

Costco makes little to no profit from sales and everything is bought in bulk / on discount so the prices are ridiculously cheap, Costco will literally save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars a year. All their profits come from memberships so their sole goal is to keep you as happy as possible. As a result of this revolutionary business model, the only thing they're required to focus on is keeping prices as low as possible while keeping quality as high as possible. I've literally never met a person who's dropped their Costco membership lol.

[@nidalenieve]

well my parents canceled theirs, as soon as they could... but, to be fair, we live in Iceland, and the only Costco we have here doesnt have good prices and the selection of products wasnt really that great

[@Kyotosomo]

@@nidalenieve Fair enough, I've only ever been to American ones, I could imagine their business model being incompatible with how the food market tends to operate in most countries. North American countries are in a unique position that lends itself well to the business model. Although to my knowledge the UK, Japan, and South Korea also have managed to make it work out great somehow despite their less than ideal global food market locations.

[@Mach-2-Fishbed]

My favourite Costco story is how one of the founders and at the time CEO (Jim Sinegal) was questioned about raising the price of the hotdog, his response was "If you raise the price of the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out." Their solution was to stop buying hotdogs from their current supplier and build a factory to make their own Kirkland brand hotdogs in Los Angeles and later a second in Chicago.

[@one7decimal2eight]

It's because he knows that of you go there for cheap food or a cheap chicken you are likely to buy all sorts of stuff. You raise those prices and many people would not even bother for the food which means that is less people hitting the store. They would rather lose money on that stuff which is a tax write off by the way, than raise it, lose potential customers. Good business model.

[@Mach-2-Fishbed]

@@one7decimal2eight That was essentially it. IIRC, his reason basically was that the $1.50 hotdog was a well known staple of Costco.

[@justaguy1253]

The man is a genius. He understands the appeal of such a cheap combo meal especially since you already need a Costco membership to eat there.

Its more like its just a loss leader building a factory isn't going to make the hot dog profitable.

One of the scariest moments in my life was being in a Costco when an earthquake hit. Yes, I live in California where we are accustomed to swaying buildings and reminded at nausea what to do during an earthquake. But no one thought to train us on what to do during an earthquake in Costco. Duck and cover drills do not applied when there are tons of product stacked as high as the rattling ceiling and swaying lamps!😱

Fun facts about Costco food: - The price of the hot dog has been the same ever since it was added to the menu about 40 years ago - The pizza will literally be the same in every Costco, they make it by machine so there is as little variation as possible. - Nearly all of the food Costco sells at the food court is sold at a loss, they make way more than enough from memberships to cover it

It does make sense if you think of it. If they're gonna be selling bulk trays of ground beef, minced pork, chicken breasts, frankfurters, sausages, steaks, etc. under the Kirkland home label, they might as well have their own meatworks. And some of those sausages go to the cafeteria to make those hot dogs.

Every single Costco that I've been in/seen has the same layout, electronics in the front, right passed the registers, passed the furniture into the fruit section and walk-in freezer with the bakery next door where you keep walking to find the meat section of the store before you get to the aisles of freezers and canned food which you can then find the walk-in fridge where all of the milk is stored. Then if you wrap around to the back corner through the paper towel aisle, you walk along a shelved wall with snacks and sodas all the way until you hit the pharmacy where you end up right by the registers.

[@Eclipsio]

A few notes, as someone who's worked with Costco for a year and a half and counting: Yeah I've been acquainted with the company for a while, my dad has worked there since 1999, so I was kinda roped in cus I thought I'd be seasonal summers only but they were so desperate for night merch they got me on part time immediately haha Anyways, as for the order to the chaos; the "fence" as we call it, is that line of products (usually on sale) that are put out as the highlight items. Other sales are on endcaps which is those products at the start or end of an aisle. I've observed other Costco Warehouses and employees don't get too many questions from members about products getting moved but oh man I get at least 10 a shift, weekends are even higher. And yes people complain about stuff being moved a lot Well in addition to the "treasure hunt" stuff kinda falls out of season, and there's not a high chance of someone who wants something like Hot Cocoa in Spring or a inflatable pool in winter. There's other examples too, but we have to keep bays (not shelves, no. Everything is in bulk) stacked to a certain height (usually like shoulder height) depending on weight and quantity. Although the location I work at has some pretty cruddy members (but tbh I think most are just having a stressful life or something, I don't hold anything against them, I'm a little more concerned about employees being unnecessarily mean towards others tbh) I still enjoy stocking the store at night. I know where a lot of products are, but not all of them. Mostly the general areas of them. But I can 99% of the time know where something is if I'm shown a photo, because with all the products I honestly can't remember names haha. Your best bet is asking upfront to a supervisor. Great place to shop, employee benefits are great, my personal experiences might differ depending on region, but its a really good job that's helping me settle college funds and housing.

I've recently become a Costco employee, and not only are they amazing for customers, but they're WONDERFUL to work for. Most retail around my place start you at $10/hr and no benefits. Costco (here, at least) gives $18/hr, health care, paid vacation, mandatory breaks. Like... I am in *shock* after coming from a job where I would, on occasion, have to work 12-hour days with no breaks at minimum wage. Costco treats employees like *people* instead of replaceable cogs. Costco is what big businesses SHOULD be, right down to being able to bulk buy entirely unreasonable amounts of cheese if you so desire. Also the part about things spawning into existence is too true. Things just show up and I don't know if any of us are entirely sure where they come from.

A coworker of mine was in a Costco when his wife went into labor, and the Costco staff, on their own accord, realized something was wrong by how they were acting as they started to leave the store, and recognized it as a medical issue. They immediately brought a wheel chair over, offered to call an ambulance, and essentially did everything they could to help. They pushed her out while he ran to get their car. They cleaned up the mess that was made, and kept it all discrete. Whole thing took like 5 minutes to get her out safely. Then, a few weeks later, they got a letter in the mail from Costco that included, among other things, a honorary Employee ID card for the little guy, with his name. Sure, they are obviously wanting to ensure safety in their store for legal reasons, however this seems above and beyond what I would expect. Hell at Walmart they probably would have loaded her into a shopping cart and dumped her on the curb.

As a Costco employee, one of the introductory videos they show us is about where products are placed in the store. Have you ever went shopping at Costco, bought an item, used said item, and thought, "I liked this item, let me go back and buy it again next time we go to Costco." And then you go down the isle where you picked it up and it isn't there, but in a different isle? They do that so you can walk around the store more so you can "view Costco's variety of products available" (As the training video told me). When in reality they are forcing you to walk around each and every isle searching for this one item, and as you go down every isle you will impulse buy other random items and before you find your one item you were looking for you now have six different items that wasn't even on your shopping list is now in your cart! It is genius really. However there are two sides to every story and sometimes it can backfire. I remember when I was a child sick with a cold and we were out of NyQuil. So my Dad and Sister went to Costco to buy milk and NyQuil for me. They came home with every item imaginable EXCEPT milk or my NyQuil! Just shows how sometimes people can be a little too distracted searching for items. Lol

its the parking lot that is crazy at Costco with how busy the place can get, with how many people they tightly pack in, and with how people stand and talk.

When they stand by their tank they block the path for other cars to leave without running them over.

Fun fact: I remember me and my brother having a walkie talkie. We went into it in Costco. The distance was able to interfere with the connection. Costco is the other side of IKEA. The third class Walmart. It is just huge. Words can’t describe the feeling of going into a Costco. I went into one in Hawaii. The place was even more massive than the one in my hometown. These things are so huge you probably wouldn’t even find the bathroom. And the exits and entrances are so huge. You could fit an entire train through there, it’s like a tunnel. My local Costco is attached to a tire shop, so when I walkout I always see the same weird tire brand mascot and some weird flyers. Good times all around. And once in a blue moon. You might get a Churro. One of the tastiest things at the food court. Also their sodas are massive. Bigger than the average McDonald’s cup. Like they said Super Size me, but do it twice. 25/10 experience, would go there again just for the scenery of seeing people walk around. It’s most fascinating experience and would highly recommend on anyone who can find one.

Costco was the place to be, the one place nobody complained about. I would go in there as a child with my sister and parents and just simply stare at things. It was great. Especially if you had heelys. (I know I spelled that wrong, but can’t be bothered to find the correct spelling.) Those floors were smoother than anything I’ve ever seen. Me and my sister used to wheel about collecting free samples every time we walked by. After everything my was bought, we’d go over to the food court and buy two large pizzas, to share, one jacket potato for my mum, a couple of drinks (Coke/Pepsi ect) and an ice cream. The ice cream, was amazing. Almost every time we went, without a doubt, we’d leave full on junk food and have a box of croissants.

As a former refrigeration tech for Costco I have been INSIDE those freezers, yes they are fucking HUGE inside, bigger than the average apartment, infact possibly bigger than the average house on the inside. The Evaporators (basically the giant fans that make them cold) are the size of a Toyota Corolla and weight around 1300lbs, believe me, inside of those freezers are not fun to be in and even worse than that is getting on a scissor lift to go up and work on those evaporators.

I have ptsd from Costco One summer week, me and my sister took a road trip in an RV from colorado to Washington state. Every stop we made was a Costco. We would usually just get gas, but sometimes we just went into the Costco just because. They didn’t even let me go get samples or anything. They just took us in, walked around for a few minutes, and took us back to the RV. They did this because they “wanted to see how this Costco differs from others”. Towards the end of the trip, I see my Grammie holding a map with pinpoints with the Costco logo on the top. We stopped at every single Costco from Colorado to Washington just “because”. Hot dogs slap doe. Ngl.

This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!

The “security guard” you mentioned, is just another employee. They also don’t look at the photo, they’re there to get a physical count of every membership card that enters the building with a little tally clicker. Every 30 min they report that number and then management can gauge how busy the business might get in the next few minuets. They do sometimes check your photo at the register though, if you get a real stickler.

The stores are intentionally built to have the big rotisserie in the back so people will naturally make a b line for the $5.99 chickens, then snake their way down the aisles they skipped over on the first trip because why not browse a bit. You might find a 20 pound single hershey bar for $15.
