Counting on Costco

If you shop at Costco chances are that you will understand everything I'm about to say. I'm getting pretty frustrated with them. They are a really great store to shop but it seems they can't make up their mind about what kind of business they want to be. They offer such a variety but then they decide to stop carrying something that you've come to use or eat on a regular basis and you're just stuck. Isn't that the whole point of why families want to buy things in bulk? Now why would I want to shop there only to buy a ton of stuff that I only need small quantities of? It's just ridiculous. One can only have so many toothbrushes.

Then there are all those dumb people that try to get you to upgrade your account. Like we the customer don't watch and hear our cashier yelling "REFERRAL" at least twice because they can't get a more sophisticated system. Ugh, that really drives me nuts and I can't tell you how many times we were so close to telling those horrible "sales people" off. They're pushy and rude and have no idea how to sway a customer. I mean, yeah, they've upgraded their POS systems to something better than what they did have but really, get an intercom or something geesh!
