Finally…never again! In a previous blog (maybe last year), I talked about the difference between my wife and I as Costco shoppers. She is a no-nonsense, get in and get out Costco crazy person and I am a meandering slug who likes to consider all of my options including the 25 pound bag of wild rice. Last Sunday, we needed to make a Costco trip. We did the search and found out that it opens at 10a.m. My wife suggested that we get there when it opens and I, like a naive fool, agreed. I knew things were off when we arrived and the lot was packed. My wife volunteered to drive and picked a spot about ¼ of a mile from the entrance. The instant that we stepped into the store, I knew that I was about to be engulfed by a sea of insanity. Entering the store with a cart was like trying to get on the expressway with a short on ramp. Every no-nonsense, get your stuff and get out human was flying around, throwing items into their cart at the same light speed seen in Star Wars. I was in the building at 10:05 a.m. and people with full carts of everything from a ridiculously large sized bag of Cheetos to new car tires were already in a line waiting to check out. It was so bad, that - I kid you not, my wife actually pulled me, with the cart into the grass seed aisle to protect me from being run over. I was clearly slowing down and irritating the psychotics from beating their previous Costco land speed record. No part of this experience was positive. There were no “excuse me”, or “you go first” exchanges. Food samples? Not a chance. There was only laser focused intensity and dirty looks. Even the check out people had an intensity that I couldn’t deal with. I wasn’t getting the items into the conveyor belt quick enough, and I certainly didn’t have my membership card out and ready to go. The whole experience was an absolute disaster, beyond frustrating and I actually feared for my safety. Consider this a public service announcement to all of us who are strollers. Stay away from the opening minutes and the band of marauders known as the Costco Crazies.
