At sam's club they don't recycle boxes for customer's to put their purchases in, they just throw everything in a 55 gallons trash bag

Doesn't even have the store logo on it

Costco boxes are loving great I LOVE having them. They work great in the weed biz for various tasks and I keep the recycling up hy unloading my Costco poo poo then throwing them in the box pile which gets used. Those boxes are theb used by others who we deliver to or whatever.

You return something every time you go? That would certainly throw up some red flags.

I've returned 2 things in the maybe 5+ years I've had a membership.

yeah my wife is the queen of returns, we joke that we spend $900 and return $100 every visit - it hasn't been a problem for years and it gets us to try stuff we're on the fence about, sometimes it's a pleasant surprise!

she also orders and returns tons of stuff from amazon on a weekly basis, like 30 packages in, 25 returned because she gets clothes from amazon

nah she kicks rear end, and i think it is good that she is able to get the most out of company return policies

i'm not losing any sleep over if jeff bezos pays us back for trying stuff out or bob costco

since we talk to the costco return people monthly anyway and know all of them we have heard of some truly hosed up returns

my favorites were these two:

1. a used snow plow - the person bought it in fall, used it all winter, and returned it in the spring to costco for a full refund

2. a used seven year old mattress purchased at costco, returned for full refund

we just return poo poo like "hey we didn't like this" or "it molded before the best by date"

I'm fine with loving over corporate entities I guess. And if the items are still sellable, that's better. But if it's food you just don't like, that's hosed up. Just creating extra waste. I'm reserving judgment until I know what type of stuff you return.

No idea why because it's clearly costing way more then how Costco does it via shipping in boxes of california rolls, but Sam's literally makes their sushi rolls in house every day, and one of them near me has an actual sushi prep island in the store where you can watch it being made. It's not like variety is crazy but they at least have more then 1 option.

Costco sushi is also poo poo quality and worse then literally every grocery store sushi you can get.

That is a massive waste. Many resources are used to get a package to your door.

oh poo poo I read that as 25 returns a month, not WEEK. so this woman is ordering 4+ clothing items per day on average knowing that she's going to return all but 5 per week. that's some crazy poo poo

I can't even imagine buying 5 new items of clothing each week on the regular

My dad used to buy the fanciest DSLR camera from Costco, use it for a bunch of pictures, and return it within the window so in a way he always had a top of the line model, usually Nikon/Canon.
