I do not understand why people aren’t satisfied with the uppermost (open) case of whatever when there’s a large stack (and, let’s face it–everything is stacked at Costco). I watch them struggle to lift 4 or 5 cases so they can pick one box of raisins from the 5th level down. I get if there was one left on top that was crushed or some other moron opened…but, really?

The other one is the family of 5 that walk next to each other (think front line of an NFL team) while pushing the cart as slowly as possible down the ‘wrong’ side of the aisle.

      My totally plausible conspiracy theory is that the tire shop is close enough to the seating area that you don’t want to hang around too long (keeping turnover quick), but not so close to the ordering kiosk that it kills your appetite.

      Interesting, my Costco has that exact setup. I’ve never eaten in the food court, so that never occurred to me…

      Been in 3 diff locations and they’re all set up this way. Probably because they both need to be at the front of the store.

        At least one of the Costcos near me has the tire shop with a separate entrance not accessible from inside the main part of the building.
