You do not work at Costco


Today's annoyance - people who fill up their cart at Costco and proceed to the self checkout lanes. You don't realize that:

  1. You scan your items much slower than a Costco employee
  2. You bag/box your items much slower than a Costco employee
  3. Therefore, you don't really save time, and you make me (it's all about me) wait to scan my two items. 
People who get extra points:
  • Those who buy expensive items that require price checks. Thanks for effectively blocking that lane, buddy.
  • Those who buy items that require a pickup, and sometimes a key flick, or says the wife, former (7 times!) Costco employee. Another lane blocker.
If you find yourself in any of these situations, for your sake, or at least mine, take your cart to a cashier-staffed checkout instead.
