The Freezer Aisle Mistake That Constantly Irritates Costco Employees
By Chase Shustack
With an enormous amount of people coming in and out of Costco stores every day, it's no wonder that employees may find themselves cleaning up messes or dealing with unpleasant situations more often than they'd like. However, one peculiar mistake that some customers make gets under the skin of Costco employees without fail.
While customers leaving items in the wrong place happens at every store, some Costco customers change their minds about frozen items and leave them in areas with no refrigerators. According to Costco employee Tess Robison, some refrigerated or frozen items are spoiled by the time employees find them, as customers usually leave them in well-hidden spots.
Such behavior is particularly annoying, as Costco has a "go-back cart" for products shoppers no longer want to buy so that employees can return them to their original spots. Plus, searching for these items costs time and money, as employees, who have more important things to do, end up desperately looking for misplaced frozen items to keep them from going bad.
