Addicted to Savings

Do you have a favorite Costco cashier? Write your shopping list out in the order that you encounter items on your path through the store? Salivate when someone says the words "chicken" and "bake" in the same sentence? Then you might shop at Costco too much. 


One Costco superfan on the r/Costco Reddit forum asked users to "tell me you go to Costco too much without saying you go to Costco too much," and the responses are amusing, to say the least. If you relate to any of these popular responses, you are probably a Costco superfan as well.

Now That's Longevity

"When you remember when an employee was a new hire and they just earned their silver badge after working at that Costco for 25 years.


My main Costco has 27 silver badged employees, about a quarter of whom have never worked at any other Costco and half who relocated with the warehouse in 1996."
