He better watch out.

Footage of a heated confrontation between customers apparently taken inside a Costco emerged the day before Thanksgiving — sparking online debate about naughty shopper behavior as gift-buying season gets underway.

An aggravated man rammed a woman’s shopping cart with his own as he impatiently tried to push through a sea of shoppers in an aisle, according to a video a fellow customer posted on a Reddit Costco thread, which is not affiliated with the mega-chain store.

Yes, I remember the precious stamps, but ours were Blue Chip. Each checkout had its own stamp dispenser; the clerk would dial up the proper amount of stamps, large and small, like using a rotary phone. Good times! If only the prices were the same as in the ‘70s. And of course the produce section had little more than lettuce, tomatoes, corn, potatoes and mealy “Delicious” apples.

My Costco is full of folks from India, and trying to maneuver around it must be like trying to drive in New Delhi.

The Walmart in Valley Ranch looks like a street market in Mumbai. Grandma and Grandpa don't speak a lick of English. The only way you can identify women who are trying to assimilate are those wearing yoga pants in public.

I usually stay away from Costco and Walmart. I just got a Sams card for the rare occasions when I go shopping. I leave that up to my wife.

Gator, I've also noticed that Indian kids are left to run wild while their parents are shopping, bugs the crap out of me.

13 years ago we moved from Seattle to rural kentucky. It’s very peaceful for us here, even during the holidays. We drove back to our house from visiting the starting of a friend’s “black friday” sale last night around nine. 8 miles and never passed a single car.

In Seattle, I was not allowed by my wife to come near a mall parking lot after Thanksgiving day (dead serious). If I had, I’d probably be in prison now for murder.

About the only thing missing is holding onto the cart with one arm while stretching across the aisle.

Always park on the same side you are shopping. If, for some reason you can't then shop a couple of cart lengths ahead or behind so you don't block the aisle. And unless you have a grabby toddler in the cart you should be parked right against the shelves to maximize passing room. And don't park right by a pillar or $#*@ing in-aisle display. And, store owners: no more in aisle displays. I want to go through Kroger on day and count the obstacles. I know, your research says the slow down and weaving increase sales. But you have so many that I skip whole aisles rather than browsing. (I feel like Frank Castanza and the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you're gonna hear about it!)

I don’t blame the guy at all. Wish I had his guts at times like that.

Was that a bunch of people waiting for a free sample?

When I lived in S.CA, going to Walmart was like going to the U.N. during their hate America month.

Nothing but foreign nationals, illegals etc...Even 15 years ago I was asking myself, where the hell am I.....lol

I became a member of Costcl back in1988. The only store was fairly near where I lived (renton highlands). I saw their membership idea great because it really did keep out the “riff raff”.

I’ve been in that store recently. After living in rural Kentucky for 13 years, it is so international that the last time I was there it took me a while to find a single white person. Frankly, it was fascinating. Seattle has definitely changed. And I definitely feel more at home and “at peace” in a more “homogenous” area.

I suppose it’s just human nature.

You’re right about that. I’m still able to go shopping and will do it as long as I can. But if I get too old, I will probably have to get someone else to shop for me. As you said, I would not call that lazy.

One of the things I love to do is find the parking spot furthest away from the entrance of a store. Lots of room, nobody dings my car, and I get some extra steps in. Big win all the way around.

Hopefully Costco will fire this customer.

*** I finally left in frustration as they had none. Or at least none that I could find.***

On Wednesday morning, I went to my MIL’s favorite grocery, and since I’m unfamiliar with the layout, I would ask the workers where something was. I was pleasantly surprised when they would take me directly to where I needed to be, and sometimes pointed to exactly the item I was looking for.

Most of the time, I agree, the workers have no idea themselves, and don’t bother to try to help. Every now and again, though, someone is up to the task, and is very helpful. Sometimes they look on their device, and can sort out whether or not they even offer the type of thing you’re looking for.

You don’t cook with fresh produce, do you? No way I could go shopping every 4-6 weeks.

Why is it described as being Costco?

I saw this earlier today about personal discipline.
It’s really good and very short

That sounds like Publix Supermarkets.

My wife sent me to shop with a list of items, one of which was “pine nuts.”
I had never heard of them and asked a store worker if he knew what they were.
He said yes. And then he said, “ Follow me. We keep them under the pine peckers.” We laughed uncontrollably .

I love Publix, and miss them dearly, but this was at a Fresh Market store in Charlotte. Other shoppers were mostly polite and considerate, and the staff was unquestionably competent and helpful.

The pine nuts/peckers line had me rolling! That’s hilarious!

Best to shop before 10 AM just about anywhere. Before the Crocs & Pajamas crowd shows up.
