what kind of retarded fan fiction is this
the electronics section is front and center the second you enter the store

>>715330258
Plus you can walk in all you like without a membership, just can't buy anything outside the food court.
Fucker literally just lied about being an autistic cunt for reddit points.

>>715330347
You aren't even allowed to eat at the food court anymore without a membership

>>715330347
>walk in and ask the greeter where I buy a membership
>don't get a membership and just feast on free samples subsidized by other people's membership fees.

>>715330347
nah costco is clampin down hardcore on it

>>715330570
>walk in and ask the greeter where I buy a membership
The greeter will say you have to sign up on the website and refuse to let you in.

10000% this guys is black
Niggers have absolutely no sense of rule of law or rules in general, they simply haven't the capacity to comprehend them.
>just two minutes of trespassing is fine
>i'll just steal two items its fine
>two murders is fine
They assume every law can be bent or outright broken if they are in circumstances where it would be convenient for them, and when arrested they genuinely believe they have done no wrong and are confused as to why they are in trouble

i thought memberships were just for discounts. you need them to enter the store? then how does ordering shit online work? i've managed to do it without one.

>>715330443
I was just at Costco today and I can tell you for a fact that I didn't have to use my membership card when I got a hot dog. They know those things sell like hotcakes

>>715330634
lol no they don't; there's a membership counter for new signups.

>>715330639
lmao I thought the same thing this all sounds very noggish
>>715330743
I think the memberships are mainly there to track shoplifters they also check the receipt at the door so it's the efficient loss prevention it allows them to lower prices further.

>>715330070 (OP)
>you need a membership to buy from a public store
Wat

>>715330870
Enjoy it while it lasts. Once the owner inevitably keels over they're going to skyrocket in price.

>>715330070 (OP)
>go shopping at Walmart
>they have switch 2s right there
Are we still pretending the switch 2 is hard to come by?

>>715330258
but that's not where the Switches are
sure, you got TVs, glasses, printers, some monitors, some AIOs, a few iPads or laptops
but they have the cardboard plates for real consoles in the middle of the store, mixed in with whatever else they promote for the two weeks

>>715331209
>public
huh?

>>715331209
its obviously not public if you need a membership, retard.

>>715330639
>10000% this guys is black
>>715330937

Read til the end where he says "I started to feel uncomfortable and left". Nigs don't do that. They stay until security kicks them out, or the cops come. That redditor is as white as snow. Just incredibly autistic.

>>715330870
Lies, they scan your member card now to even buy anything at the food court

Costco has a great PR agency and advertisement because the store sucks. It is worse than Sam's Club and worse than many regional chains. I have only seen diabetus type 9-11 go in there to buy the grossest bulk meat and bread for burgers and hotdogs that you have ever seen.

>>715332035
Yup but maybe it is a south thing.

>go to a member's only venue
>let me in bro, i promise i'll become a member if i like it
>no, become a member first and cancel if you don't like it
>REEEEEEEE I'M BEING OPPRESSED

>>715332184
they have the card scanners at the entrance in New England

>>715330870
Might just depend on location.
Costco that opened up next to my house just let anyone walk in starting out, but in the last year or two they started requiring you scan your badge at a kiosk before being allowed to step inside with 2-3 employees watching the foot traffic of both doors.

why are zoomer so afraid to talk on the phone? just call and ask if they have any in stock.

>>715330070 (OP)
Lies. Costco lets you in if you say you just want to check it out to decide if you want to be a member. You couldn't buy anything anyway, since they scan the member card at the register.

>>715332035
>>715332184
Must be a South thing, they have scanners to go through the main entrance in my blue state, but if you want to go to the members counter and food court, there's no scanner and staff at that entrance are just there to check your receipts.

old costco employee here.
We don't fucking card people at the door. We're encourage to not do that. This guy is one of those people who wanted vax passes in order to buy a loaf of bread.
You can walk in and buy a membership and use it the same day. It's not some sort of secret club. It's to limit loiters and window shoppers, and the usual suspects of the black and brown variety.

>>715331209
>public store
costco started as a warehouse distributor for other businesses and they still operate that way. Membership is where the primary bulk of the store's profit comes from, the products are sold at a very low margin
when they opened membership to the public they saw a huge uptick in profits as people were willing to spend a little on a yearly membership to save a lot on their monthly groceries

>>715332835
they do card people at mine, but if you don't have one they just direct you to the help counter

Costco and Arizona are the two best american companies.

>>715332035
they actually only started carding you for the food court because the cost of hot dogs finally exceeded what they were charging for them ($1.50)
since the CEO refused to raise prices on hot dogs (his exact words were "over my dead body") forcing membership for the food court is a reasonable option

>>715332835
times change old man
i have to scan my card at the door
and you arent allowed to go through the back anymore even with as card

There’s a Costco opening up near me soon

>>715332835
i get carded all the time but i live in a ghetto part of california and i'm sure they have to deal with tons of druggies and other assorted pieces of shit wandering in and eating the free samples

>>715332835
I've only been a member for 5 years, but they've always carded at the door in this timeframe. Now they have a scanner, which was a waste of money, because they still pay the employees to stand there to make sure people are scanning the card.

>>715332883
Plus gas. Their gas is usually about 40 cents cheaper than other places.

>>715331209
do you think costco is owned by the feds or something

>>715333224
pretty sure the scanners are so people cant go in with an expired card

>>715333303
plus the hotdogs fuckin love me a costco dog

>>715330070 (OP)
Just tell them you're buying beer. In most states it's illegal to sell alcohol behind a membership.

>>715333167
Not a bad spot for wagies to work

>>715333303
oh god, I know. Ive seen it upwards of $1/gallon lower than the nearby competition

>>715333348
>>715333224
They're much more likely building a data base to keep track of how many times you visit in a year.

>>715332835
it varies by store
every time i've gone to the one in town with my grandmother (who has a membership) they check everybody's card at the door
i've never seen anybody told to fuck off but I've also never seen anybody show up without a card

>>715333445
they already card you when you pay

>>715333503
That's just them checking your card.

>>715333348
>>715333445
Nah, they already did that by scanning membership cards at the register. They always scan it at checkout. Also, I highly doubt costco hotdog enjoyers with expired cards were so big a problem that they needed to waste a couple grand on some scanners.

>>715331858
Not as of recent. The new nig tactic is to "not feel comfortable" when any form of law/rule enforcement show and flee. If they get away they won, if they're caught, "why yall tripped!? I was scare for ma life! My brother was kill by de police so yall make me nervous! I wassn fleeing, yall trippen! I just fear for ma life." As soon as the cuffs come on "ahhhh! Help I can breef!"

>>715333747
>>715331858
Screams more like a white person excuse.

>>715333463
I worked in a red state costco in a mostly white area back in 2010. The only time we carded was holiday season. The reason we were told not to card otherwise is that it makes people feel uncomfortable. 99% people who come have a membership or intend to buy one anyways.

>>715332883
> as people were willing to spend a little on a yearly membership to save a lot on their monthly groceries
Not going to lie, I've been stocking up on canned and other non perishable food in bulk because we all know the next republican induced economic crash is coming (Massive income inequality and tariffs caused the first great depression).
The one sad thing is while you can buy their food court hot dogs in bulk, they don't last as long as you think if you freeze them. Not to mention they don't always carry the buns for them. That always baffled me.

>>715330070 (OP)
Probably a jogger, Costco is for the white man. He should go to Sam's Club where his kind congregate.

>>715333743
Hot dogs are a loss leader so Costco probably will recoup the money spent on scanners by not selling a loss leader to expired memberships
