Costco Etiquette

How is this the first time I'm seeing this video and your channel?! Brilliant. Just brilliant.

OMGosh. After over 20 years shopping at Costco, everything on this list rings so true! We do exactly all of the proper and considerate things you've pointed out.

In fact, we've talked (read: complained) about these exact things pretty much every time the two of us go to Costco!

Thank you for spreading the word.

They should send this to all members

I live in Florida, and aholes will stop in the aisle to chitty chat to each other blocking the whole aisle, also people crawling or stopping so they can text while maneuvering their cart…and don’t even get me started on the gas pumps, they are filled with pyscho morons. Costco can be the 8th circle of hell.

Nick, Nick, Nick, you soooooooo forgot one. Do NOT push your cart on the wrong side of the aisle. Shopping anywhere, not just Costco, is like driving a car: If your country drives on the right side of the road, then push your cart on the right side of the aisle.

Here’s another one. Look where you are going! This appears to be the same way these people drive their cars. Rudely. And let someone in once in a while.

Omg Costco sends me into either a panic attack or blind rage. The parking lot alone is enough to ruin a good mood. I cannot. At all.

Let’s not forget about the customers who upon receiving their receipt, they want to scan each item with their ugly finger to ensure Costco didn’t cheat them out of 4 cents. All this without moving their cart to the side, so again they clog the middle lanes as other customers are hastily wanting to leave this retail jungle.

Just back from Costco! Tough walking around the nibblers, the dawdlers, the oblivious! People need to watch your video.

I am handicapped so my husband drops me off at the door, And he goes and parks the car. Coming out of the store the cart and I go far to the side where we are out of the way , honest we are far from the door, and hubby goes and gets the car. We load the car , I take the cart back in while he fiddles with how he has things packed then he picks e up at the door. It does take me a few minutes to get in and out of the car, and I have had people do everything from glaring at me , honking to actually hitting me on purpose with their cart. We used to shop at 5he Costco in Sarasota, Fl. The people were the height of rude there. We have since moved back to Pa. , where people actually teach their children how to behave so they grow up with some manners.

So true all of it! There are also the people who butt into the cashier line and pretend they don’t understand when you say something. 🙄

I cant with the families who think their 2 year old learning to walk is “cute” in a Costco, no one cares, go to a baby pageant. The ones who meet their friends and decide to stop in the isles with two carts and 4 people chitty-chatting, move it along to the food court area…

Of also clean your damn sample trash out of your basket in one of the billion trash cans around the store, do not help us prescan, you move things around and mess us up.... more to come ...Gross!

😂I love it, he gets a good amount of our frustrations with you people, also, stop putting your damn finger over the membership card barcode! Stop acting like you dont know how to use your debit card, stop thinking we think your special because you have a rebate check, also have the damn check ready!, do not get in line without your membership, stop taking too long to decide if you want a box an or changing your mind after having already said no!!!! Also unless its prescanned, or you have every single barcode turned up and ready to scan, then unload your shit!!! Stop acting like we're supposed to do it for you geezus!!! Stop telling us it free if it doesn't scan, we think your instantly very annoying when you do this, stop making dumb small talk we do not want to engage in, please listen to this man and stop paying with cash or personal checks, if u do someone should rob you upon exit, stop asking employees to open more lines, stop going to self checkout with alcohol and a ton of shit in your basket, stop letting your little monsters demand a smiley face teach the word please! Stop getting clothing or anything else with no barcode!! Stop expecting us to laugh at your terrible jokes that we hear non-stop everyday! Bring your own bags!, stop standing at the end of the belt pretending to be on your phone so you dont hafta unload your stuff, stop bringing clearly non service dogs that use the store as a toilet. Omg I could go on and on so start with atleast these few horrible things that piss us off!
Thanks 😅

Africans: Our problem is that we need food and shelter
Americans: Our problem is that Costco customers are always in the way of me moving freely in the store

I avoid all of this nonsense by ordering online for delivery. Store is 23 miles from my home.

Wow this has to be the most incredible and delightfully unexpected Nick Lewis channel find

We had a Costco membership once upon a time because everyone raved about it. Well, we absolutely HATED it!! And it was 100% because of the people. The culture of the Costco customer base is just not something we wanted to be associated with😂 so now we have a BJ’s wholesale membership & we love it! No entitlement whatsoever. It’s amazing!🤩

”Does one need 3pack of cream cheese, I understand it is really a question for you to search your soul for” hahahahaaaaaa

Went to Costco this week. It's the hardest thing not to get stuck into gawping at everything they sell and still be aware of other shoppers. One thing I will remark: I had to use the electric scooter for a while and please shoppers, be aware of shoppers using the scooters. Get out of their way a bit, don't stand gawping like a ninny at a stand when they may need to get by, give them space! They often start with a horrible jerk and rush, which is difficult to control. and if you stop in front of them they do stop with a jerk that's painful for us who need to use them. Thank you.

On a recent visit, I was Nick style irritated by the woman in front of me who didn't put any of her purchases on the belt. But lo and behold, Costco was way ahead of me. the clerk used a portable scanner, left everything in her cart and scanned the lot. super quick and efficient. I was wrong to be irritated. I LOVE Costco, super people, well paid, every company should be run like them.

Please strap children in the seat, don't let them stand in the cart. it's not safe.

‘ we all know that you know what Prego tomato sauce taste like” 🤣🤣🤣

You missed the friends and relatives that haven’t seen each other for more than a week gather for a reunion 😡

It really depends on location. The customers are the deciding factor. There are 3 costco in my area. I will go out of my way to only go to one because the customers are less entitled. Even the gas station is better.

Costco etiquette isn't enough. People don't know how to behave in public anywhere.

I just found you. I can already tell that I adore you!

Agree with everything, and I'll one up you. Flip the divider bar upside down and place your Costco card in the slot. The register can start scanning as soon as the bar and you items get to them.

We don’t have any of these things happening in the states. At least in my area. But it was so entertaining to watch 😂

100% on point

Worse... Ikea parking lot 😢

Etiquette Rule 1 for me: Don't shop at Costco. I loathe this place and IKEA, Starbucks, Target, Olive Garden, Home Depot, Amazon, Homgoods etc. Secondarily, as you point out throughout this video, the kind of people who shop there. I'd rather pay twice as much to go to a store where I won't run into what you're describing.

Top problems with society IMHO
Problem #1: Tribalism and fact-free, death-grip beliefs.

Problem #2: The generic homogenization of every place on Earth being the same with massive chain stores and restaurants. (there's no point to taveling anymore - every city on earth has become a clone of Hoboken New Jersey)

Problem #3: People making "cheap," "easy," and "no-brainer!" top priorities, rather than value, quality, and originality.

Two issues with your relaxed view on dumping your cart wherever: Literally as you're saying who cares, so long as you're not impeding others you show a picture of "OK" where they carts are parked in the space reserved for disabled vans to lower their ramps, and 2 - the slippery slope. YOU justify 'this', next person rationalizes 'that', next person says its a mess already anyway so why bother. There's a tic tok vid of a person shoving their cart into the next parking space, and when called out the person shouts out "I'm disabled" to which the video maker replies "Oh, I'm sorry, did you become disabled in the store? Because you were able to push the cart around the store, out the door, and to your car - then you became disabled?" They say the best test of a person being a positive contributor to society, or a drain that should be eliminated - is if you put your cart back. I tend to agree

I really think they need to have a smaller cart option, or require a driver’s course for them. The giant ones are just too large for most people to maneuver. People refuse to carry anything so even if they’re just going in for a chicken, they’ll grab a giant cart for 1 chicken and drive it like it’s a semi truck. I started bringing in my stroller wagon instead.

I use cash. Get over it.

I have never been to a Costco but now I'm a bit more prepared.

When I need a good laugh I watch your opinion videos 😂

Also I don’t want some sales person soliciting for phones. I have one. Let me approach you if I need one. After already having to see the homeless people with signs at the corner looking in my car I just want to look and shop. Period.

I also hate the sample stations too for the very same reason. Why not just line them up in a line in the back? Herd them through and don’t block people. Ughhhhh

Reset playback speed to 75 ,then you can hear and understand every word.

One day I kept running into a couple that was moving so slow and blocking lanes, but they had a stroller so I gave them grace because I thought they had a newborn. Turns out it was a dog in the stroller

Costco shoppers are the most annoying people ever. They can’t navigate a shopping cart but they try their luck at driving a car to the store. Unreal. & ya the behaviour at the sample station bagvuour is pathetic

This is me in every supermarket. It’s not a social occasion, it’s not a family day out and if you have all day to shop, don’t go at lunch time when people working and with a limited time have no choice. I have no idea why people feel the need to linger in these places. If what you’re doing is not worth doing efficiently, it’s not worth doing, go home and think about your life 😂

every trip to costco feels like surviving something primal as a person with anxiety😂

I personally love the conga line of mobility scooters traveling in the middle of the food aisle at a snails pace.
AND...why the F do you need to bring your dog to CostCo?

Where I live, I have to put on a hat and sunglasses (like a celebrity) because never once, not once, have I gone there without seeing someone I know who wants to say hi. Not once... (sometimes I love to catch up, but I usually hate it) btw, Nick. I'm a jazz vocalist with a classy band and want to sing at your wedding ;) I live in Washington State, and American but my soul is Canadian.

The abandoning carts thing is wild. How do grown a** men and women and their big age still do this?!? They’re also always the ones more rude when someone happens to sort of be in their way.

Heads up from someone who has a spinal cord disease. People leave a few carts in the blue handi parking area by a pillar for a reason. Sometimes, it’s the only way we can get into the store if we’re having a bad mobility day. We leave it for another person that may need it. If there are already a few and having a good day, we take the cart back. But, absolutely, we leave them there for a reason.

OMG….I love you. I love you so much. That is all, moving on swiftly…..😂❤
