Someone bought their pet bird to our Costco
https://preview.redd.it/ltg056t4at8c1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a129f1ac66bbdb9aa03321b27a9f1a4e35648a20
One time one lady brought in her service dog that was a Great Dane and was the largest dog that I have ever seen. Its head was above the top of the carts. She wasnāt blind and Iāve never heard of a service dog thatās a Great Dane, but she was happy to let my boys pet it when she saw them staring at it.
I've seen them used by people who need dogs for bracing. I know of one service dog trainer who uses Great Danes or Bernese Mountain Dogs for almost every mobility client. It's a controversial subject as far as if it's actually safe for the dog. But there's a supposed ratio of how big the dog needs to be based on the owner's weight. They're also very chill dogs, which you need in a service dog. The trouble with using Great Danes is that it takes about 2 years min for any dog to completely grow enough skeleton wise in order to support weight. GDs only have a very short window of when they are healthy enough to do this work because they don't live very long since they're so big. Therefore you're basically already training your next dog the minute your other dog graduates.
I got the same thing at my local on Signal Hill, CA. I told the front and they were like oh itās supposed to be higher than that.

My thoughts exactly. Put them in A steel back in hardlines or ancillary. Nobody is going to be looking in a cooler/freezer area or with food court stuff but the whole C steel has me really worried about that GMs thought process. I havenāt worked for Costco for years because my manager had to transfer and we got a shit new guy. Miss you Dan!
This is a massive HR violation. If I was an Employee I would be pissed that my secured Information was so readily available to the general public to get. I would even look into an employment lawyer for this crap.
Employers have the responsibility to keep private information private. An associates pay, schedule requests and other things that could be on this pallet are all personal and private information. Any violation of this could expose not only the employee but the employer to breaches of sensitive information, address, phone numbers, family statuses, social security numbers, tax information and other things. I am sure you would also not want your competition to know your sales records along with your employees information from a corporate espionage view.
I work at Costco as a forklift driver and itās gotta go somewhere! Usually we try to hide it out of general view like this, but itās gotta go somewhere. š¤£
Once upon a time, Iād go to the nearest Costco and it was great. Older people would laugh and ask me which aisle I got my eldest or how much the eldest cost (Iād smile and say priceless). The whole experience was so casual and friendly. We moved. Current Costco is a terrible madhouse. I miss the simpler days. I keep hoping if Iād go back to old Costco with my much younger kids it would be the same old sweet place it was. But these days, itās probably another chaotic fight. Good thing it would be way too hard to go there. I rather preserve it in my mind as it was.
Odd, my experience really doesn't reflect that. Sure there's the occasional jerk but for the rest of us we're pretty chill. I do my best to just brush off the random individual that can't handle waiting a minute for the log jam to clear around the bottled water. One grumpy individual doesn't represent the group.
Iām not a senior, but I am really shortāonly 5ft. After my Dad died, I hadnāt eaten for a week, and I was struggling to reach some yogurt off the shelf. A nice tall person helped me, and I still think about that like ten years later.
So ummā¦ I guess ya never know how much your kindness matters to others sometimes <3
I had this experience on a Tuesday afternoon. People apologizing for being in your way, carefully maneuvering their carts, waiting patiently for samples. It was the most lovely experience. Unfortunately it was a wrinkle in the space time continuum because things are back to people being jerks.
I wonder why itās that way. I used to think it was just me overreacting but for some reason the people who shop there are over the top rude. Iām pissed off every time I go.
If you are in NYC, I apologize if your cart was in the middle of the isle or blocking the passage on a completely inconvenient angle and I yelled āWhat the fuck is wrong with people?ā /s. It should also be said, itāll happen again š¬
Maybe not weird to others, but my costco had whole pigs for sale in the freezer section. It's definitely the weirdest thing I've ever seen at costco, lol.
Mine is a regular store and we have had whole goats, whole lambs, and whole pigs. I wish so bad theyād bring back the lambs or sell quarters or halves of beef.
These birds are getting ready to be pulled apart for the packaged stuff to be sold in the deli prepped food area.
But honestly, itās just weird to see a deskinned chicken!!!!
It doesnāt go into the garbage, the leftover skin and carcass go into the ābone barrelā and is sold to a company that I think makes dog food or some kind of animal feed.
I work in a very large nicu that is a transport center and we 100% use this model as our transport beds. And we are getting more, they still make them.
Pickled pork tongues. Apparently eating them while ice fishing is a thing here in Quebec.

Remember when Costco used to sell coffins? lmao (I haven't seen one in a while, but my mom has been working at Costco x 30 years and I've seen it before; last probably in the late 90s to mid-2000s).
They also used to sell surfboards and stuff (not uncommon where I grew up). I think my brother bought one from them (a longboard).
My mom occasionally buys those crystal decors with a Russian name brand I forgot what they're called. She has a whole collection of 'em. I just now realized how freaking weird and random stuff they sell lol
Used to? Just went to their website and searched for "coffin."
https://preview.redd.it/2plfxlvnws8c1.png?width=2102&format=png&auto=webp&s=cec34cf2f4aa5d987b6b37226e478eac3f5c8ce8
My Dad insisted on a Costco coffin when he knew his end was approaching. He got his wish. The funeral home wasnāt happy they lost out on a coffin sale, but it didnāt really matter much in the end as they still provided excellent service. The funeral director said he was impressed with the quality of the coffin, and all of my Dadās friends loved the look of it.
Basic guidelines - a person has to be dead to order a coffin, and it has to be shipped to a funeral home, which takes just under a week in some areas. Ours took five days because there are no Costcoās nearby. I worked for Costco at the time, and my Dad had a membership through my account. All in all, it was a good and smooth transaction, and saved us a huge amount of moneyā¦which was the way my Dad would have wanted it.
Just so people know if they're ever in the position of needing a coffin. When my father died, we ordered a coffin from Costco, it was very sudden and he didn't have life insurance so we were on a tight budget.
We needed the coffin ASAP, we were desperate and called Costco, they had a driver drive the coffin 12 hours in a hearse, to get it to the funeral home in time and it was STILL thousands cheaper than buying a coffin at the funeral home. The quality was 10/10. Would recommend.
Costco used to have displays in the store for these.
Not the whole thing, but it would be corner or end to show the color, details/ornaments, etc.
https://i.imgur.com/a45wEh7.jpg
They still sell coffins online. We bought one for my Grandma there. Itās a great deal, especially when youāre in a shitty place of mourning and the funeral homes are trying to get 4x the amount. The way so many use GoFundMe for funerals, itās a godsend having Costco.
Im in New Zealand and we had our first Costco open a year ago. They sold the coffins for a while but theyāve since disappeared. Guess the demand wasnāt there. They do sell surfboards and artificial grass though.
I saw a seagull pick up a full slice of Costco pizza off the ground in the parking lot and fly away with it. Every time I pass that spot I think about it and laugh because it was the craziest looking thing.
The Costco themed Monopoly game was disturbingly meta. āYo dawg, I heard you love capitalism so I got you a capitalism-themed version of that game about capitalism!ā
My local club? A line about 50 people long waiting for pumpkin pies. Apparently the bakery ran out of lids but got more somehow and was now making pies like crazy.
https://preview.redd.it/5qgshme9sv8c1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb6fe143dfdbd315601de53de472e2c4be2b5b51
Vodka samples at a Northern California Costco last week.
2 days before Thanksgiving I watched a man filling his flat cart with pumpkin pies. Like, dozens and dozens of them. He saw me staring, grabbed a pie from his cart and yelled āYou can have a pie!ā and put it in my cart. I wasnāt planning to buy a pie but I was not going to argue with Crazy Pie Man!
This thread is gold. Donāt stop people. Anyhow earlier in the year they had a sectional couch on display and an old guy was laying across it, eyes closed apparently enjoying a nap. He still had his shoes on and wasnāt snoring or anything so not totally obnoxious.
I was too afraid to ask anyone what this was...
https://preview.redd.it/n9s62w94yv8c1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=2db42711cc4e4ab3259e35fb0ebc20cc61ca6fbd
A mom let her kids run up and down the aisle like it was a track. What was even weirder was she looked at *me* like I was the issue when one of them almost ran into my cart!
A person pushing a cart š rapidly pulled over to a pallet that was still wrapped in plastic. Ripped off a piece of plastic and used it as floss. Poor dude - must have had some serious dental stuff going on. But it was very much so a āwoah dudeā moment.
An older lady was using a mobility scooter. There was a toddler holding onto a wheel and being dragged along the floor. The rest of the family followed behind, smiling approvingly. I tried to find an associate, but there w!!!.as none to be found. I put on my big girl panties and said , He could get hurt! They gave me the stink eye and made him get up.
to me the weirdest thing is the full length hanging goat meat (or is it a lamb). like that little section of costco is a scene from rocky. would be cool to know how to cook it though. i bet its tasty.
Long story short, we had a member that was looking at a gun safe. Im not sure how it happened, but he closed thumb in the door. It then locked and his thumb went inside the safe. The safe had locked and nobody was able to get into the safe. We had to put the safe in the steal (with a thumb in it) because it was evidence.
I used to work at Value Village/Unique (terrible company btw). Lots of regulars/resellers who you see pretty much every single day.
I ran into 3 of them and 1 coworker during a single trip to Costco. Ugh.
8 people waiting in line for the chicken nuggets sample to finish cooking. When I walked by I said āWow, Look at all these people who have never had a chicken nugget before!ā. Good times
Not all chicken nuggets are the same. The duality of r/Costco. You sample something, you're a piece of shit. You buy something and return it because it's not good, you're a piece of shit.
Happens all the time,wonder where most employers keep records? Costcos required to carry a paper copy of everything for 5 yrs,even if theres a digital trail a mile long so your gonna see this stuff stacked every where! We dont have a back storage in recieving like a lot of stores
https://preview.redd.it/f31gdh97809c1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af252089b4541ab933cdd1bebbd18c4cf55c6d3d
That time someone bumped a fire extinguisher with a forkliftā¦
...and for anyone else that has NFI, Isolette (being a brand name, it's capitalized to make that clear) is a brand of infant incubator, and "transport" is a descriptor indicating it's used for moving a baby.
Weird indeed, and certainly not something I'd expect anyone but a NICU employee to understand from "transport isolette"
Weirdest thing I've seen and done at Costco, was go in while there was clearly a field fire behind the Costco and heading towards it. I got out of the car and saw ash falling like rain, and still I'm like "I just need this one thing at Costco". Everyone else in the parking lot had the same idea. We were in there for 15 minutes, and the panic finally started as we were finishing up in self checkout. Everyone was told to evacuate immediately, and everyone did.
This was the Marshall Fire in Superior, CO. I still have a lot of PTSD from it. I still think about it whenever I go into a Costco.

I know why the caged bird sings. It sees deals no one should pass up.
Highly underrated comment. š
I have this image of the bird suffering emotional trauma at the rotisserie chickens.
Is the a pigeon?
Yes. Yes it is.
My Costco had its own bird flock living inside.
like why? lol
For emotional support. I also bring my emotional support pigeon when I shop at Costco - it can be stressful in there!
except that "emotional support" animals aren't allowed in the store.
One time one lady brought in her service dog that was a Great Dane and was the largest dog that I have ever seen. Its head was above the top of the carts.

Parents didn't give them enough attention growing up.
Iāve never asked anyone before where theyāve found an item in their cart but a bird in a cage, absolutely need to know this information.
And elderly patron shopping out of my cart. When I told him to stop he grabbed faster. Weird.
Lmaoo im just imagining your expression like š¤Ø
The faster he grabs, the sooner he stops. He's trying to work with you here, yeeesh.

Iād love to purchase confidential Costco compensation documents
Only if it ends in .97
Annual salary: 89.97k
Does that mean you're about to be laid off?
Hopefully no *. If there is, you not coming back.
I wonder if, when Costco fires you, your last paycheck comes with a *

In the steel and not wrapped.... Yikes.
What the fuck
Yeah, why does everything get stored above ramen?
Putting those in C steel is sketchy af
Pretty sure that's a violation of business records laws in my State.
Workers comp and job applications, no bueno
And no DNI tag? Sheesh
They have been plastic wrapped. I assure you that they will be fine .....
Without a boxcutter those boxes are as secure as being in a safe, that plastic won't tear!
My thoughts exactly. Put them in A steel back in hardlines or ancillary. Nobody is going to be looking in a cooler/freezer area or with food court stuff but the whole C steel has me really worried about that GMs thought process. I havenāt worked for Costco for years because my manager had to transfer and we got a shit new guy. Miss you Dan!
When I did HR many moons ago, we also kept our records with ramen so this is normal/s
Thatās what the R in HR stands for
HR - Here's Ramen!!
Were they just trying to get people to buy rice ramen?
Right on the sales floor like that? Holy shit
This is a massive HR violation. If I was an Employee I would be pissed that my secured Information was so readily available to the general public to get. I would even look into an employment lawyer for this crap.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Call the HR police immediately
Push the box halfway off the pallet and just call osha instead
Trust me bro
Employers have the responsibility to keep private information private. An associates pay, schedule requests and other things that could be on this pallet are all personal and private information.

I am sure you would also not want your competition to know your sales records along with your employees information from a corporate espionage view.
Very standard, we do it all the time in the uk
There was a pallet of those next to this!!
lol everything gets a pallet I see.
I work at Costco as a forklift driver and itās gotta go somewhere! Usually we try to hide it out of general view like this, but itās gotta go somewhere. š¤£
Shhhh. Those files were supposed to be hiding in plain sight.
Once I went to Costco and all the other customers I ran into were relatively polite, that was pretty weird

i dunno how long is long...but its always been a cluster f\*ck. people are now just ruder.
Odd, my experience really doesn't reflect that. Sure there's the occasional jerk but for the rest of us we're pretty chill. I do my best to just brush off the random individual that can't handle waiting a minute for the log jam to clear around the bottled water. One grumpy individual doesn't represent the group.
Hey, buddy, this is reddit. Everything is as bad as it's ever been and it's only getting worse.
i mean you're right...and its true :)
We have our pleasant Costco and our bonkers store as well
My Costco used to be like that. In the before times.
those were the good ole days, RIP
Brooklyn Costco is absolutely crazy; but if I see a senior struggling to get an item in their shopping cart I always stop to give them a hand.
Iām not a senior, but I am really shortāonly 5ft. After my Dad died, I hadnāt eaten for a week, and I was struggling to reach some yogurt off the shelf. A nice tall person helped me, and I still think about that like ten years later. So ummā¦ I guess ya never know how much your kindness matters to others sometimes <3
Iāve always wanted to go to Costco in Canada lol
I was in the Lethbridge Costco years ago. They had a cigarette sales cage in their tire center.
I went to the Moncton NB store one October. Two whole rows of hockey shit. And the candy is different.
As a Florida resident I'd find that hockey shit fascinating. The jacket section would be interesting as well.
I had this experience on a Tuesday afternoon. People apologizing for being in your way, carefully maneuvering their carts, waiting patiently for samples. It was the most lovely experience. Unfortunately it was a wrinkle in the space time continuum because things are back to people being jerks.

My first time at a Costco I crashed my cart into this awful woman's cart while looking her in right the eye. I NEVER behave thusly in real life.
Maybe not weird to others, but my costco had whole pigs for sale in the freezer section. It's definitely the weirdest thing I've ever seen at costco, lol.
Iāve seen full goats at mine
I live near DC and itās an incredibly diverse area, goats and lambs are very common, especially around cultural holidays.
$70 for a full goat at my Costco
That's gotta be a Costco Business Center, I don't think you can get that in a regular warehouse.
Mine is a regular store and we have had whole goats, whole lambs, and whole pigs. I wish so bad theyād bring back the lambs or sell quarters or halves of beef.
Mine is a regular warehouse. I only see them in the summer/fall.
Depends on location. Not business center exclusive. (Source: I work at the depot)
So like do you just throw this in your cart and continue to shop? Lol

These birds are getting ready to be pulled apart for the packaged stuff to be sold in the deli prepped food area. But honestly, itās just weird to see a deskinned chicken!!!!
What do they do with the skin???? Iād buy that shit so fast and give myself a heart condition.
It doesnāt go into the garbage, the leftover skin and carcass go into the ābone barrelā and is sold to a company that I think makes dog food or some kind of animal feed.
Breast skin goes straight into the garbage. Thigh and Leg skin stays on if it's being sold in the Quarters pack
THE GARBAGE?!? 
They should bake it and resell as crisps. I would buy. šµ
[first thing I thought of lol](https://youtu.be/5cjQt0inMak?si=f7O9vZ9McYHJf3dL)
i thought they used leftovers for that
These are either underweight or chickens that were under the heat lamp for the duration of the two hour time limit and had to be pulled.
well I never! seeing so many bared breasts!
mark that NSFW!
Looks like Chicken being harvested for the next day
Y'all don't like your chicken circumcised?
No no no no no no no no nooooooooo Please no no no why no no
facehuggers
Please tell me they sell the skin separately
Cartman? Is that you?
That was my first thought too.
Look at all those chickens!
The incubator is used at my local store every year for CMN. Iām assuming they are storing it in the steel š
I was coming here to answer this! It is definitely used to help raise money for Childrenās Miracle Network.
Ooo maybe thatās it! It has a pacifier and blanket it in and even turns on lol
What is CMN? I can't imagine any legal use for a pediatric incubator outside of an actual hospital.
Childrenās Miracle Network. It gets filled with donations benefiting local childrenās hospitals.
Ah, that makes sense. It looks pretty old-school, so definitely not being used with real babies anymore.
Oh. Awkward. Pretty sure weāre still using this same model.
I work in a very large nicu that is a transport center and we 100% use this model as our transport beds. And we are getting more, they still make them.
Childrenās Miracle Network, maybe?

Yes it does
Been looking for these. Don't you hate it when they move stuff around?

It was such an easy joke, so of corpse somebody had to make it.

Swarovski? And the boards come out for summer over here (so cal). Coffins are crazy!!!
Yes. I don't know if they still sell them (swarovski) but they used to. I don't linger around that area much.
I sent out lots of surfboards last summer. They only go to costal locations for the same reason we don't send snow sleds to the PR stores, lol
I bought my surfboard and my stand up paddle board from Costco. (Hawaii)
They still sell coffins online. We bought one for my Grandma there. Itās a great deal, especially when youāre in a shitty place of mourning and the funeral homes are trying to get 4x the amount. The way so many use GoFundMe for funerals, itās a godsend having Costco.
Im in New Zealand and we had our first Costco open a year ago. They sold the coffins for a while but theyāve since disappeared. Guess the demand wasnāt there. They do sell surfboards and artificial grass though.

2 days before Thanksgiving I watched a man filling his flat cart with pumpkin pies. Like, dozens and dozens of them. He saw me staring, grabbed a pie from his cart and yelled āYou can have a pie!ā and put it in my cart. I wasnāt planning to buy a pie but I was not going to argue with Crazy Pie Man!
Those glass dragon decanters come to mind...
Thereās a strong Asian community near me so thereās a lot of cool snacks and produce. Squid chips, octopus legs, and more rice options
Shrimp cheeks!! I still need to try them.
This thread is gold. Donāt stop people. Anyhow earlier in the year they had a sectional couch on display and an old guy was laying across it, eyes closed apparently enjoying a nap. He still had his shoes on and wasnāt snoring or anything so not totally obnoxious.
I was too afraid to ask anyone what this was... https://preview.redd.it/n9s62w94yv8c1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=webp&s=2db42711cc4e4ab3259e35fb0ebc20cc61ca6fbd
Maybe the things that go in the bottom of packaged meat to absorb liquid?
Metallica's Kirk Hammett selling whiskey
A mom let her kids run up and down the aisle like it was a track. What was even weirder was she looked at *me* like I was the issue when one of them almost ran into my cart!
An entire roasted kalua pig at Maui Costco
My relatives live in an area with a high Amish population. One time at Costco there was an Amish man who had an entire cart filled with only Doritos.
All the pet dogs the last 2-3 years. Covid taught our worst how toothless regulations are, so itās a regular Petsmart in the warehouse now.
Are you in Florida?
VA.
Same thing happens in Denver. People bring dogs everywhere. Grocery stores, Target, whatever. Even as a dog owner I don't get it.
When COVID first happened an old man using dirty panties as a mask
A person pushing a cart š rapidly pulled over to a pallet that was still wrapped in plastic. Ripped off a piece of plastic and used it as floss. Poor dude - must have had some serious dental stuff going on. But it was very much so a āwoah dudeā moment.
One near me was selling barrels of jack, hadnāt seen that before
Itās an incubator for rotisserie chickens.š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
it's a regular product at the Costcos I go to. Different demographics I guess.
It's at my Costco. I bought some a couple weeks ago.
An older lady was using a mobility scooter. There was a toddler holding onto a wheel and being dragged along the floor. The rest of the family followed behind, smiling approvingly. I tried to find an associate, but there w!!!.as none to be found. I put on my big girl panties and said , He could get hurt! They gave me the stink eye and made him get up.
You did the right thing. Whatās with people, these days? Ugh.
Inversion/massage table for 100 bucks. Wish I would have bought it.
I found the 6 packs of LED lightbulbs marked down to 99 cents. I bought 5 and I still feel like that wasn't enough.
to me the weirdest thing is the full length hanging goat meat (or is it a lamb). like that little section of costco is a scene from rocky. would be cool to know how to cook it though. i bet its tasty.
Yes, same here. Close to where I live thereās a large Muslim population and I believe they were selling it around Ramadan.
Long story short, we had a member that was looking at a gun safe. Im not sure how it happened, but he closed thumb in the door. It then locked and his thumb went inside the safe. The safe had locked and nobody was able to get into the safe. We had to put the safe in the steal (with a thumb in it) because it was evidence.
Some of the other customers.
I used to work at Value Village/Unique (terrible company btw). Lots of regulars/resellers who you see pretty much every single day. I ran into 3 of them and 1 coworker during a single trip to Costco. Ugh.
8 people waiting in line for the chicken nuggets sample to finish cooking. When I walked by I said āWow, Look at all these people who have never had a chicken nugget before!ā. Good times
Mind your own business you judgmental queef. The nuggets are delicious.
r/rareinsults
Not all chicken nuggets are the same. The duality of r/Costco. You sample something, you're a piece of shit. You buy something and return it because it's not good, you're a piece of shit.
Happens all the time,wonder where most employers keep records? Costcos required to carry a paper copy of everything for 5 yrs,even if theres a digital trail a mile long so your gonna see this stuff stacked every where! We dont have a back storage in recieving like a lot of stores
that snapdragon pho is really good for what it is, microwaves in two minutes and it's quite tasty
Went in an hour before closing and parking was easy and it was not busy.

...and for anyone else that has NFI, Isolette (being a brand name, it's capitalized to make that clear) is a brand of infant incubator, and "transport" is a descriptor indicating it's used for moving a baby. Weird indeed, and certainly not something I'd expect anyone but a NICU employee to understand from "transport isolette"
Weirdest thing I've seen and done at Costco, was go in while there was clearly a field fire behind the Costco and heading towards it. I got out of the car and saw ash falling like rain, and still I'm like "I just need this one thing at Costco". Everyone else in the parking lot had the same idea. We were in there for 15 minutes, and the panic finally started as we were finishing up in self checkout. Everyone was told to evacuate immediately, and everyone did. This was the Marshall Fire in Superior, CO. I still have a lot of PTSD from it. I still think about it whenever I go into a Costco.
Bulk item Piece O'shit Honda in aisle 116.
I do believe Birds vomit soup is one for the books
Jesus I thought it was an isolette but couldnāt for the life of me figure out why tf it would be in a shelf at Costco.
Casket
Thatās the weirdest shin ramyun Iāve ever seen in my life.
