Treat your shopping cart like a car - don't drive like an asshole! Don't cut me off - realize there are people behind you trying to get around you moseying along the high traffic flow areas.
Don't wear your headphones so that you're deaf to the world - I'd like you to hear me screaming at your slow ass to get the hell out of my way.
Have some common decency and be aware you're not the only effing person shopping in the ginormous warehouse - I came in for one thing - I don't want to be here any longer than absolutely necessary.
Don't allow your entire family (including 2-3) shopping carts congregate around the free samples. You're stopping the traffic flow and holding everyone up!
Don't horde the free samples. If you want to feed your family cheaply, spring for the $1.50 hotdog and drink combos. They're more than plenty to fill an adult and one is enough for probably 2-3 kids to share. Hell, with a family of 8, you can probably eat for less that $10 bucks!
I'm sure there are a few others I wanted to include, so I'll add them as I remember them...
And a word to my mother: If you ever send me in Costco for one item on a Saturday afternoon again, I will disown you.

Okay I know this was a bitch sesh for you but I have to admit something. Costco on a Saturday is my joy in life. I never get a cart, and I walk with my mom and sample everything, people watch and look for random stuff to get my mom to buy for me!
Sounds like my idea of hell!!! I HATE shopping on a Saturday... it's a nightmare. We get all of our grocery shopping ordered online now as I'm so fed up going round the shops with all of the crowds!
Hope you had a nice weekend, apart from Costco! x
Too freaking funny, this sounds like one of my Walmart posts. New reader here and now follower. I love the pic on your theme. I can't wait to read more.
too funny. i hate going to costco/sams... it's like people really think the world will come to an end if they don't buy 1000 rolls of toilet paper or something.
Brooke - Yes it was a bitch sesh... and if that's what makes you happy then go for it. But I'm pretty sure you're not an a-hole when it comes to indulging yourself, right?! And it is nice to have Mom buy stuff...
Saskia - That's the nice thing about 'one-stop shopping' although there are just that many more people in the store!
Just a girl - I could write a post about the same thing at WalMart! Thanks for stopping by and following me! I'm going to check you out right now...
Jaime - Seriously... why we couldn't buy a chicken (repeat: one chicken) at the grocery store is beyond me!
omg I don't go anywhere near Costco on a day that anybody else is likely to have off work. I'll go, like, Tuesday mornings between 9 & 9:30 and that's IT.
People are really weird around the samples... they look at you like they're gonna shiv you for the next one out of the toaster oven. I think there's a happy flow to shopping at any store... not too fast, not too slow... and for some reason costo on Saturday is just off kilter.
BTW...Are you on any new meds? I'm concerned that you're getting really agro again lately. Just saying;) Nothin' but love man...
Yep,I feel your pain. I almost went ballistic on this asshole in SAMS who moved my cart.
Costco + Saturday = Sheer Madness. Avoid it whenever possible!
