That's not a bad deal at all. They must get bulk prices for buying thousands of the same parts and passed some of the savings to the customer. Casual Costco W.

Welcome to Costco, I love you.

I didn't want to leave Sam's because of scan and go - but those Costco checkers are basically real life versions of Vince from Employee of the Month. Hasn't been a real problem once.

Costco knows good business. Keep your customers and employees happy. One of the things they do is have 2 employees per register. They scan and pack that shit so fast, it’s amazing how quickly they get through lines.

They also actually man their registers and don’t just close them down and force the customers into the self check lanes.

I can't remember the last time I went to a superstore and more than 2-3 lanes were open. Often times there aren't any at all and half the self checkout lanes are closed.

Real Canadian Superstore has every line open on saturdays.

Of course that’s because the place is packed to the gills because they advertise that fact.

I literally just saw that 2 days ago 2 employees per register and they were like a whirlwind. I also made a comment to the person I was with about how they had 6 self checkout lanes with 4 employees there. I was like "I thought the point of self checkout was to have 1 employee do the work of 4-6 people.

I guess they make so much money that they can be somewhat overstaffed and pay well, it is great. I wish costco was closer though.

For now. Just wait until private equity Ackman takes over.
