I find myself at Costco quite often. It’s my go-to spot for about 90% of my grocery shopping. Where else can I grab a massive ice cream for my kids at such a low price? Plus, their pizza is not only delicious but also affordable and ready when I finish my shopping. I truly enjoy my time there.
However, I don’t share the same fondness for many of my fellow shoppers, as it seems that a good portion of them lack basic common sense and courtesy. To help out the few decent folks who shop here, I’ve put together some simple guidelines for the self-centered individuals at Costco. So, without further ado, here are the 10 Commandments of Costco:
- Have your membership card ready before you reach the entrance.
- If you don’t have your membership card handy, kindly pull your cart to the side and clear the way for others.
- When you enter the refrigerated section, please do not block the entrance with your cart.
- If you’re approaching the free sample area and spot a mom with young children, consider letting the kids have the last samples first. They adore the torta rolls!
- When you see a mom with any children shopping on weekends, give her a smile. She’s juggling a lot!
- If you’re checking receipts at the exit and see more than one child in a cart, please don’t just mark a single smiley face on the receipt. Hand out individual smiley faces to each child instead. It’s a small gesture that makes a big difference!
- As you walk back to your vehicle with your cart, stay to the side of the parking lot. No need to block traffic.
- Please return your shopping carts to the designated areas.
- When leaving the parking lot, stop and let someone who’s been waiting for a while back out of their space.
- If someone allows you to back out of a tight spot, acknowledge their kindness with a smile and a wave.
Those who abide by these commandments will surely experience a more pleasant shopping experience, while those who don’t risk an eternity in the chaotic realm of Costco parking lots.
