My experience tells me that the average Costco customer is a large Asian family who like to all shop together and block the aisles as much as humanly possible.
The average Costco customer in my area is a 60 year old white female who continually block the aisles around the food sampling areas.
In Nanuet NY (Rockland County)the average customer( and I am taking liberties here) is a large Orthodox Jewish family from nearby Monsey and adjoining towns. The entire family is there sometimes 3,4 young children, walking or in the carts, and they have NO trouble in returning items, the bigger and more already well used, and most expensive , the better. I have never seen Costco turn one of them down, however absurd the return. To do so would be asking for trouble.
So true!
Much like on the highway lol
Or Indian (dot not feather) at least in Minnesota.
Same with our Costco. I made the mistake of going into Costco right before a snowstorm and Christmas last year to pick up ONE item that might wife couldn’t find.
It was packed with all of the cashier lines about 30 people deep. It was nuts, but I had nothing better to do. Struck up a conversation with an dot Indian that had grown up in the USA.
He said this is nothing - he goes back to visit his family in India every year.
I joked “Today is like India in more ways than one!”
Seeing as the crowd was 90%+ of Indians, Muslims and Chinese he gave a good laugh.
I had hoped the pandemic would have caused the food tasting carts to go away for good, but sadly no. I was waiting one time to get around an elderly guy in a golf cart that was stuck trying to get around the crowd at the food cart.
He apologized for being in the way.
“Oh no - your good, go ahead, take your time. It’s the lady with the food cart that is blocking the aisle.”
The lady with the food cart gave me a dirty look.
