Crusty Nutsack posted:… I absolutely hate that all the warehouse clubs act like all members may be stealing The apartments where I used to live had gated entry. But realistically, you could reach over the pedestrian gate to open it, and the vehicle gates took so long to open and close, and were broken so often, that you could usually drive in without an opener. They easily inconvenienced paying residents more than criminals. But they were there because they suggested value and exclusivity worth paying extra for. Costco card and receipt checkers are part of the same sort of kayfabe, IMO. And ultimately I spend less time waiting for someone to draw a line on my receipt than I did for ¼ POUND PLUS ALL BEEF HOT DOG AND 20 oz. SODA (With Refill), so it doesn’t bother me too much.

Crusty Nutsack posted:yeah it's a bullshit PR line about how it's actually about helping customers. They can revoke your membership, part of the user agreement is you have to let them inspect your receipt on exit. Weirdly, since alcohol has to be sold without requiring a card, I wonder what happens if you tell them "lol no" when buying a few bottles. There used to be news stories about people refusing at regular big box stores and cops getting called and one of the big things from it was if there is no membership requirement to purchase you cannot demand to inspect the proof. Costco is even pretty bad about it by comparison. They made the self checkouts a different paper color so the door checkers know to inspect extra carefully and slow everything down. Sam's Club has those phones+barcode scanners and they scan the receipt then randomly scan 3 items to confirm they are legit.

Yeah because the cashiers probably get written up for every item they missed. I worked at BJ's many many years ago and the door checkers were completely ostracized by the rest of the store because it was their job to get everyone else in trouble. Fuckin' narcs are what they are. Feels real good to check out 120+ customers in a single day and gross over $25,000, then get taken to the back office and get written up because you missed a $5 pack of post-it notes

A funny story from that place The cashiers were collecting write ups like high scores because the front line manager was aware of the nature of the job. The employee handbook outlined how many you can get and their severity based off of dollar amount before being terminated, but it was pretty much ignored except for the worst offenders since it was inevitable. One day a new General Manager comes in and, on his first day in, without consulting the front line manager, throws the book at the cashiers and fires everyone who was above write-up threshold. Of a total of 30 cashiers, only 2 kept their jobs. He saw nothing wrong with this. No replacements lined up and didn't even notify the front line manager to what he was doing.

Sounds like typical new manager BS to me “day one I ensured that employee handbook standards were being applied to reduce stock loss in relation to poor staff performance, I am sure the staff who will be picking up that slack will be more dutiful now”.

The super hosed up part was that the front line manager called everybody back and desperately tried to convince as many people to come back so she could at minimum staff the evening rush. A few of them were actually loving grateful to the GM for...letting them have their jobs back. One person told me that they owed their job to them and was not pleased when I reminded them that it was his fault that they lost their job in the first place. I don't like making GBS threads on part time workers, and I especially don't like making GBS threads on people in customer service roles, but man some of my coworkers there were the dumbest human beings alive. Even my extremely naïve 18 year old self was baffled at the way some of those people thought. That place was stupid busy. There were 30 registers and we'd routinely open all 27 working ones still have 30 minute waits to check out. There was flat out not enough people on payroll to staff a single shift to prevent it from becoming a disaster without getting some of those employees back. Even weeknights got really bad around 6PM.

I mean sure, it does help sometimes, but I don't think that's why it's done. I would guess it's more a combination of finding mistakes their cashiers are making, stopping theft, and kayfabe to make people feel special, as other people mentioned

quote:Costco reserves the right to revoke your membership at any time. So, if you're caught not-so-sneakily returning old, used products, you might find yourself on Costco's blacklist, which could include a lifetime ban from ever buying a Costco membership again. Probably just takes a few really bad returns to get on their radar.

Door checker looked at my receipt and said “Where’s the 7 all beef 1/4 pound hotdogs that are on this receipt?” And I said “They’re inside me” and she said “There’s no way you could eat 7 of our huge dogs at once” and I said “I never said I ate them.”

Do the Costco door guys check every item or something? With Sam's I'm using the mobile pay system where you can barcodes as you put stuff in your cart, and the person at the door scans the QR code on my phone, then scans three random things to see that they were included in the receipt, and tells me I'm good to go. Some items were buried invisible, but they scanned their three items and let me go. Nfcknblvbl posted:It actually does help customers. My aunt was a receipt checker for Price Club (OG Costco in many places), and the cashiers hated how often she caught their mistakes. Lat month I talked about my hometown Price Club and Costco shutting it down and building a new warehouse feet away a few years later, and how it always stumped me why that happened. I learned: some (not all) Price Clubs were unionized, so Costco shut down those stores. Craptacular! fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Mar 1, 2023 |

I think the main thing for Costco is item count. They're been doing that more and more lately.

Due to my location I have never been to a US Costco but that is due to change in the near future. Question is: will I be able to find Jongga (the one with 2 Gs) kimchi in the church near Pharr Tx? Never seen kimchi in Mexican Costco and thread has made me curious about trying that

Gee, I wonder why that GM was moved from wherever they were to your store? Usually, fuckups in management just get moved around rather than fired (until there's a district or regional management opening...) Or I guess they could be a new manager, which then I would question how you get to be a GM without being an assistant or department manager. El Padrino posted:That's a weird way to commune at the church but to each their own. I don't know how consistent it is across Texas Costcos, but the one up here in Southlake had it. Pharr is almost as far away as you can get from DFW in TX, though.
