Costco makes little to no profit from sales and everything is bought in bulk / on discount so the prices are ridiculously cheap, Costco will literally save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars a year. All their profits come from memberships so their sole goal is to keep you as happy as possible. As a result of this revolutionary business model, the only thing they're required to focus on is keeping prices as low as possible while keeping quality as high as possible. I've literally never met a person who's dropped their Costco membership lol.
well my parents canceled theirs, as soon as they could...
but, to be fair, we live in Iceland, and the only Costco we have here doesnt have good prices and the selection of products wasnt really that great
@@nidalenieve Fair enough, I've only ever been to American ones, I could imagine their business model being incompatible with how the food market tends to operate in most countries. North American countries are in a unique position that lends itself well to the business model. Although to my knowledge the UK, Japan, and South Korea also have managed to make it work out great somehow despite their less than ideal global food market locations.
I buy my beer there every time I go to the city. It’s 5$ cheaper than my towns stores
if they didnt make money they wouldnt be in business the only reason why companies exist is to make money so this is completely false
@@twall7330 sooo did you just not see the part where he said they get a least a little profit and they get money from memberships?
My favourite Costco story is how one of the founders and at the time CEO (Jim Sinegal) was questioned about raising the price of the hotdog, his response was "If you raise the price of the effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out." Their solution was to stop buying hotdogs from their current supplier and build a factory to make their own Kirkland brand hotdogs in Los Angeles and later a second in Chicago.
It's because he knows that of you go there for cheap food or a cheap chicken you are likely to buy all sorts of stuff. You raise those prices and many people would not even bother for the food which means that is less people hitting the store. They would rather lose money on that stuff which is a tax write off by the way, than raise it, lose potential customers. Good business model.
@@one7decimal2eight That was essentially it. IIRC, his reason basically was that the $1.50 hotdog was a well known staple of Costco.
The man is a genius. He understands the appeal of such a cheap combo meal especially since you already need a Costco membership to eat there.
Its more like its just a loss leader building a factory isn't going to make the hot dog profitable.
they better not be raising the prices on syrup and jelly! (I prefer syrup)
Costco employee here. I showed this to a group of my friends at work, and they all thought this was hilarious. Even the GM cracked up at the “the back” joke.
Fun facts about Costco food:
- The price of the hot dog has been the same ever since it was added to the menu about 40 years ago
- The pizza will literally be the same in every Costco, they make it by machine so there is as little variation as possible.
- Nearly all of the food Costco sells at the food court is sold at a loss, they make way more than enough from memberships to cover it
as a former Costco employee I can confirm everything like we have no idea where stuff comes from it just appears overnight
its just there every day
As another Costco employee; yeah.
Costco seems like an SCP on it's own
Do you ask customers where stuff are?
Night shift worker here. We open the doors for the goblins to bring in the food and stuff
Actually a night shift worker
The hot dog combo has stated the same price since 1985. They even opened their own meat plant to keep the cost at $1.50. Freaking love Costco.
The co-founder of the company threatened the CEO over the hot dog price.
“If you raise the [price of the] effing hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."
-Jim Sinegal
The hot dogs make me sick for some reason.
@@Vmac1394 Reasonable demands from reasonable people. I almost forced into my contract for wages that sodas be provided and capped at $0.25 per can.
$0.25 is the main office price at the company I work for, but working down the road in another building they wanted double (granted, excess profits funded our picnics and parties, but still...). Since I now work on another area (at the whims of a different seller, its actually the government ran in that case) they are $1/can... I can get 4 for the price of one if I fill my backpack up for like $2 to $3 and be good for the week!
@@jimmycon2001 probably the one you ate had gone bad or something. had gotten that way too many times to count happens to me whenever i go to a foodcourt. i am like an involuntary bad food magnet.
It does make sense if you think of it. If they're gonna be selling bulk trays of ground beef, minced pork, chicken breasts, frankfurters, sausages, steaks, etc. under the Kirkland home label, they might as well have their own meatworks. And some of those sausages go to the cafeteria to make those hot dogs.
Never had a bad memory with Costco, and because of this video all of those vague memories of me playing around that kid playset and eating that large ass pizza is coming back to me.
Every single Costco that I've been in/seen has the same layout, electronics in the front, right passed the registers, passed the furniture into the fruit section and walk-in freezer with the bakery next door where you keep walking to find the meat section of the store before you get to the aisles of freezers and canned food which you can then find the walk-in fridge where all of the milk is stored. Then if you wrap around to the back corner through the paper towel aisle, you walk along a shelved wall with snacks and sodas all the way until you hit the pharmacy where you end up right by the registers.
I used to go to Costco with my mom when I was younger and I went there so many times that one day when I was around 9 or 10 a old dude came up to me and said he basically saw me grow up when I went to Costco with my mom cause he worked at the front gate, kind of cool actually.
that's very wholesome
Wholesome
In a way.... this kinda made my day :)
If he said that to a girl, the girl would get creeped out AS HELL.
@@OffGridInvestor I was actually with my sister to I forgot to mention that
As a citizen of a non-Costco country, this learning experience gave me the feeling that Boris Yeltsin must have felt when he visited that grocery store in the USA.
He didn't mention it was all super affordable as well, or that it's the best place to get gas for miles around.
i diddnt even know their was THIRTY stores in my country 😭😭 we only have like 5 states and theirs only 1 store in my state .
So no one asked this guy but country he lived in.
You made me laugh lool
@@nitrosherbert888 Because no one would embarrass themselves with that sort of grammar!
You forgot about their Kirkland signature products! Every Kirkland item embodies quality and value, even their wine haha
5:27 I mean they make you pay a membership fee just to get in, free food is the least they could do.
I love Costco, only had one bad experience when I got accused of identity theft, but I got a free pizza out of it so it’s all good.
Their pizza slaps tho

3:48 As a former Costco employee, this is so true and This part made me laugh my ass off.
A few notes, as someone who's worked with Costco for a year and a half and counting:
Yeah I've been acquainted with the company for a while, my dad has worked there since 1999, so I was kinda roped in cus I thought I'd be seasonal summers only but they were so desperate for night merch they got me on part time immediately haha
Anyways, as for the order to the chaos; the "fence" as we call it, is that line of products (usually on sale) that are put out as the highlight items. Other sales are on endcaps which is those products at the start or end of an aisle.
I've observed other Costco Warehouses and employees don't get too many questions from members about products getting moved but oh man I get at least 10 a shift, weekends are even higher. And yes people complain about stuff being moved a lot
Well in addition to the "treasure hunt" stuff kinda falls out of season, and there's not a high chance of someone who wants something like Hot Cocoa in Spring or a inflatable pool in winter. There's other examples too, but we have to keep bays (not shelves, no. Everything is in bulk) stacked to a certain height (usually like shoulder height) depending on weight and quantity.
Although the location I work at has some pretty cruddy members (but tbh I think most are just having a stressful life or something, I don't hold anything against them, I'm a little more concerned about employees being unnecessarily mean towards others tbh) I still enjoy stocking the store at night.
I know where a lot of products are, but not all of them. Mostly the general areas of them. But I can 99% of the time know where something is if I'm shown a photo, because with all the products I honestly can't remember names haha. Your best bet is asking upfront to a supervisor.
Great place to shop, employee benefits are great, my personal experiences might differ depending on region, but its a really good job that's helping me settle college funds and housing.
You didn’t mention the cold room, where they store a bunch of food that needs to be kept cool but not as cool as like a refrigerator so there’s just this huge room that’s cold
The ones where they store eggs, fruits/vegetables and milk?

One time my family was coming home from a holiday and we needed to re-stock our fridge, so we went to Costco. It was supposed to be a simple ‘Go in, get food, get out.’ Deal, right? We came in looking for the needed stuff, came out with more food then was strictly reasonable, four giant bloody hotdogs and a paper shredder.
...a paper shredder?
@@funkymonkey1958 essential
We once went in to get paper plates and some simple decorations for a house warming party....
Ended up buying so much we had to cram every single cm^3 of the family hatchback with random shit and we still needed 2 trips
The CostCo experience
@@funkymonkey1958 Correct.
Thanks! This video is truely holy.The sight of this most gorgeously beautiful video makes me tear up.
As an American, I would like to say that may have been the finest analysis of the Costco Eatery I've ever heard. You distilled it down to its essence. It truly is a blessing from the Wholesale Gods as recompense for trials overcome.
The thing I like about Costco is that no matter which store you enter, they will always look the same.
The Costco in this video (UK) looks exactly like the Costcos I stepped into in Sydney & Melbourne, Australia.
I feel like that’s all big box stores
It's like walking into an SCP 3007 location but this one is much more pleasant and the staffs aren't faceless creatures but normal human being like you.
I think thats another way of saving money.
There's only one costco with hundreds of entrances around the planet.
The door is actually a wormhole or some other scifi nonsense.
Stepping through takes you to the only costco in existence.
Except they like to randomly move stuff around every couple of weeks to confuse and annoy you.
As a Costco employee, they trained us to treat the members with such respect and they're basically our only source of income, we only make money from Food Court and Memberships, we are also instructed to call the shoppers members not customers
How the hell does the food court make money??? It’s so cheap! I have no idea how you’re not taking a loss on that stuff
@@ryanhalien8468 in-brand meat supply to dampen the prices somewhat. That and the cofounder had promises of violence and other pleasantries to all whom who would even consider raising the prices of the hotdogs, so that probably chilled any considerations of raising prices.
Welcome to Credit Unions haha but it’s all the same concept
I honestly miss their combo pizzas tbh

I can confirm that all Costco workers were actually previous shoppers who were never able to find a way out. After a week of wandering the endless warehouse, the manager came up to me, gave me a shirt and told me to restock the peanut butter. It’s been ten years, and I still have no idea where the peanut butter is. Pls help

The pizza at Costco is pure, unadulterated ambrosia. A large pizza, sprinkled with packeted Parmesan cheese and ground pepper, paired with a purple smoothie. My god, you feel like a king.
Idk if if it’s like that everywhere but where we go, at the food court, for 10$ max, i had so much food that I could have had lunch for the next day with what i didn’t eat and it would have been very decent
sams club Could never compare
And their hot dogs are nice and longy amd juicy
I've been to three different Costco stores. The pizza always is mid, but the hotdogs, chicken bake and cherro is the real food of gods.
@@vyros.3234 Not to mention that hot dog combo cheap af
A coworker of mine was in a Costco when his wife went into labor, and the Costco staff, on their own accord, realized something was wrong by how they were acting as they started to leave the store, and recognized it as a medical issue. They immediately brought a wheel chair over, offered to call an ambulance, and essentially did everything they could to help. They pushed her out while he ran to get their car. They cleaned up the mess that was made, and kept it all discrete. Whole thing took like 5 minutes to get her out safely.
Then, a few weeks later, they got a letter in the mail from Costco that included, among other things, a honorary Employee ID card for the little guy, with his name.
Sure, they are obviously wanting to ensure safety in their store for legal reasons, however this seems above and beyond what I would expect. Hell at Walmart they probably would have loaded her into a shopping cart and dumped her on the curb.
they are ready for medical emergency's because 90% of people who shop there are over the age of 60 XD my costco has a dedicated medic that patrols the isles.
Most Costco's I've been to also have pharmacies in the stores too with very cheap medication, so they also probably have some semi qualified medical staff on hand if they can also dish out prescription drugs
@@Uniformtree000 idk if pharmacist are qualified in anything other then pharmaceuticals who knows.

As a Costco employee, one of the introductory videos they show us is about where products are placed in the store. Have you ever went shopping at Costco, bought an item, used said item, and thought, "I liked this item, let me go back and buy it again next time we go to Costco." And then you go down the isle where you picked it up and it isn't there, but in a different isle? They do that so you can walk around the store more so you can "view Costco's variety of products available" (As the training video told me). When in reality they are forcing you to walk around each and every isle searching for this one item, and as you go down every isle you will impulse buy other random items and before you find your one item you were looking for you now have six different items that wasn't even on your shopping list is now in your cart! It is genius really.
However there are two sides to every story and sometimes it can backfire. I remember when I was a child sick with a cold and we were out of NyQuil. So my Dad and Sister went to Costco to buy milk and NyQuil for me. They came home with every item imaginable EXCEPT milk or my NyQuil! Just shows how sometimes people can be a little too distracted searching for items. Lol
Fucking Legends
hahahaha I have a love hate relationship with Costco because of this , I went for grocery the other day , I didn't even buy 1/4 of the groceries needed , because i bought a car air/battery jumper, 2 strips of the light that change fade strobe colors, thermal bottles, bought a monopoly mind you i have 1 from walmart, but Costco quality monopoly its way better, dude i spent 400 dollars , when i was supposed to spend 200 on just groceries
impulse buying, weak.
Hey, it’s not backfiring for them.
This is a pretty common tactic on many stores
I've recently become a Costco employee, and not only are they amazing for customers, but they're WONDERFUL to work for. Most retail around my place start you at $10/hr and no benefits. Costco (here, at least) gives $18/hr, health care, paid vacation, mandatory breaks. Like... I am in *shock* after coming from a job where I would, on occasion, have to work 12-hour days with no breaks at minimum wage. Costco treats employees like *people* instead of replaceable cogs.
Costco is what big businesses SHOULD be, right down to being able to bulk buy entirely unreasonable amounts of cheese if you so desire.
Also the part about things spawning into existence is too true. Things just show up and I don't know if any of us are entirely sure where they come from.
Breaks aren't normally mandatory?
@@warnertesla8297
They are, but a lot of places like to play fast and loose with laws that actually protect people.
I like you pfp good sir, also name's a mood.
18/hr fe or do you ring? I'm at 313 and we start at 17.50. Ringers will make 18 I believe.
Weird, iirc, in some states, they go ~$22-25/hr.
A cool thing about the Costco food court is that one space of the menu (usually on the far right) is a blank space that they put regional foods on, like here in Canada you can get poutine at Costco and it slaps.
Costco muffins truly slap, most possibly the best muffins I’ve ever had

I’m pretty sure Costco ended up saving my family’s bacon. In 2008 my parents had to file for bankruptcy and we had to move to an entirely new state. I don’t know if the rule ended up changing, but you used to be able to walk to the eating area through the exit doors and buy food as long as you didn’t try to force your way through the cash lanes. My family ended up eating there a lot, since the food was cheap and relatively good for what it was. Been shopping there ever since.
3:59 this is actually a common strategy employed by a lot of stores in the US. We never put commonly purchased items up front they are always in the back and make it a pathway to navigate the entire store before finding the checkout area. AutoZone, harbor freight, Walmart, and especially sams club/Costco (basically competing but similar stores).
Costco is literally the only store my wife can tell me we are going to for an hour on a Sunday and I'm not bummed out. I push the cart around load some 20-pound boxes of fruit and cooking oil, get 2 pairs of reasonably priced pants all while people give me free snacks. I get to look at a 3-ton car jack I didn't know I needed and at the end, I get a hot dog and gas that's cheaper than anywhere else in the city. Oh and my mother-in-law gets a rottisery chicken that she didn't want but it's five dollars so she is gonna buy it anyway, the whole family gets chicken sandwiches for 2 days.
If you hate shopping, Costco makes it as painless as possible.
Underrated comment.
its the parking lot that is crazy at Costco with how busy the place can get, with how many people they tightly pack in, and with how people stand and talk. Don’t get me started on the crazies at the gas station with putting their driver side gas tank on a passenger side pump, and snaking over their car. When they stand by their tank they block the path for other cars to leave without running them over.
Its more of organized chaos which is nice since its a lot of people, but it moves fast for asiles and checkout.

Ha Ha.Yay for your mother in-law! I'm a vegetarian and still am tempted to buy a $5 chicken.

Costco was the place to be, the one place nobody complained about. I would go in there as a child with my sister and parents and just simply stare at things. It was great. Especially if you had heelys. (I know I spelled that wrong, but can’t be bothered to find the correct spelling.) Those floors were smoother than anything I’ve ever seen. Me and my sister used to wheel about collecting free samples every time we walked by. After everything my was bought, we’d go over to the food court and buy two large pizzas, to share, one jacket potato for my mum, a couple of drinks (Coke/Pepsi ect) and an ice cream. The ice cream, was amazing. Almost every time we went, without a doubt, we’d leave full on junk food and have a box of croissants.
Costco always gave me a feeling of... small. I always felt small every time I wandered into that store. The Costco I visited had literal garage doors for entrances, plus a gas station.
The ones with gas stations are a godsend
There are literal birds flying around in the Costco I go to.

Going to Costco as a child was the best experience ever. The samples (They used to have way more samples back when I was a child), the people who signed your recite would draw a smiley face on it because you were a child, and the cheap ass delicious crack hot dogs and smoothies. It was a magical experience
I haven't went to Costco in my life but hearing people talk about it makes it feel like some heavenly location and I want to go so badly.

One of the scariest moments in my life was being in a Costco when an earthquake hit. Yes, I live in California where we are accustomed to swaying buildings and reminded at nausea what to do during an earthquake. But no one thought to train us on what to do during an earthquake in Costco. Duck and cover drills do not applied when there are tons of product stacked as high as the rattling ceiling and swaying lamps!😱
Big boxes at the warehouse section stacked to infinity: *its showtime*

Since I don’t have Costco near me we have an identical store called sams club, throughout this entire video all I was thinking was “wow that’s exactly like sams club!”
Ive gone past a Costco before in the uk, i was with my parents driving home from somewhere i thought they looked like they sold car tires 💀
Fun fact: I remember me and my brother having a walkie talkie. We went into it in Costco. The distance was able to interfere with the connection. Costco is the other side of IKEA. The third class Walmart. It is just huge. Words can’t describe the feeling of going into a Costco. I went into one in Hawaii. The place was even more massive than the one in my hometown. These things are so huge you probably wouldn’t even find the bathroom. And the exits and entrances are so huge. You could fit an entire train through there, it’s like a tunnel. My local Costco is attached to a tire shop, so when I walkout I always see the same weird tire brand mascot and some weird flyers. Good times all around. And once in a blue moon. You might get a Churro. One of the tastiest things at the food court. Also their sodas are massive. Bigger than the average McDonald’s cup. Like they said Super Size me, but do it twice.
25/10 experience, would go there again just for the scenery of seeing people walk around. It’s most fascinating experience and would highly recommend on anyone who can find one.
the largest costco in the world is like a 20-minute drive from where i live and it is fucking massive. the one in my hometown is big but this one takes it another level

I wonder which is bigger, Soriana Híper of costco?
I wonder which is bigger, Soriana Híper or costco?
I never went into a Costco personally, but the closest thing from Costco is Sam's Club, which is basically just a carbon copy of Costco, but with way more security.
And the food court (at least for mine) is right at the front
I live right next to a Costco basically and my parents still decide to go to Sam's club, I think the main reason is (assuming Costco doesn't have this), if you spend enough at Sam's you can use their reward points to pay off the card
Isn't Sam's club more expensive?
I don't have a Costco, but I have a sam's club near me.
Sam's Club is literally CostCo but if Walmart owned it (and not as good imho)

Costco feels like The Backrooms. The liminal space, endless items everywhere, and that feeling of exploring a space that could plausibly exist, but simply dosen't.
There really needs to be a backrooms level based on Costco
It hardly feels that way since it is always filled with people.
@@warnertesla8297 it still has that "backrooms" kinda feel with the endless space.
Scp 3008? Never heard of them.
@@ninthdoctor7918 it is massive like the backrooms. I can't argue with that. But because there isn't a feeling of isolation, it doesn't feel like a liminal space. Hotel corridors late at night feel more that way.
Every coscto-goer knows the feeling of playing Tetris with your kitchen, and getting a massive ego boost after successfully fitting everything
I'm loving it that Brendan Fraser is our mascot in this video! 🤣🥰
The “security guard” you mentioned, is just another employee. They also don’t look at the photo, they’re there to get a physical count of every membership card that enters the building with a little tally clicker. Every 30 min they report that number and then management can gauge how busy the business might get in the next few minuets. They do sometimes check your photo at the register though, if you get a real stickler.
As a former refrigeration tech for Costco I have been INSIDE those freezers, yes they are fucking HUGE inside, bigger than the average apartment, infact possibly bigger than the average house on the inside. The Evaporators (basically the giant fans that make them cold) are the size of a Toyota Corolla and weight around 1300lbs, believe me, inside of those freezers are not fun to be in and even worse than that is getting on a scissor lift to go up and work on those evaporators.
My local Costco has a dairy section that is inside of one of these freezers. It’s cold in there alright
That makes me think of cheap rent... They can't kick members out right? I'm used to the cold, wear layers of coveralls and stop complaining your water glass busted because the liquid froze, just drink it faster and don't leave it out overnight by your bed.
Every night some poor fucker named Jeff had to forklift all the new stock in the freezers
why did you leave - better paying job elsewhere? what is the new place?
Is it like movies? like do people actually get trapped in the freezers or, god forbid, movies are inaccurate?
I recently had my first costco experience as an european (who actually discovered through this video that there are costcos in his country). And it truly was impressive, I'd never seen sizes and packages like that, like I could buy 24 bottles of 500mL of sparkling water, that makes no sense. The whole membership thing was pretty weird too. Lastly I made the mistake of buying cake to try it out, I'm pretty sure I developped diabetes instantly especially considering I almost only eat vegetables and bread
As a college student, having a Costco membership has kept me from starving, the food court is like an oasis
I have ptsd from Costco
One summer week, me and my sister took a road trip in an RV from colorado to Washington state. Every stop we made was a Costco. We would usually just get gas, but sometimes we just went into the Costco just because. They didn’t even let me go get samples or anything. They just took us in, walked around for a few minutes, and took us back to the RV. They did this because they “wanted to see how this Costco differs from others”. Towards the end of the trip, I see my Grammie holding a map with pinpoints with the Costco logo on the top.
We stopped at every single Costco from Colorado to Washington just “because”.
Hot dogs slap doe. Ngl.
Hot dogs do slap
Your Grammie and fam was defo a Sam's Club double agent. :D
This world is rapidly passing away and I hope that you repent and take time to change before all out disaster occurs! Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36) if you believed in Messiah you would be following His commands as best as you could. If you are not a follower of Messiah I would highly recommend becoming one. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc. Have a blessed day!
@@benc589 I didn’t know going to this many Costcos was the 8th deadly sin, my bad
@@SM-ju4ji They need some sort of Costco Chill for the dogs to set it off tho.
How could he make this video and not mention “The Fridge”? That big produce area where you all of a sudden enter into freezing temperatures. That was one of the most memorable things as a kid!
Me as a kid staying outside and watching my mom go in there and hoping she makes it out alive xD
YES
it was like going through an arctic wasteland
even worse when you're wearing short sleeves
I’m so glad i came across your channel
One of the best TH-cam channels ever, you have a fan for life
Regards from England 🇬🇧
The twist is the food expires the next day.
Honestly just wanted to say your videos are amazing. Recently came across your channel and I couldn’t help but binge. Quality content
Ha
I agree.
Wait wait a verified channel that made a good comment impressive
same
oo that valorant guy
I love these in a nut shell videos, always so funny and entertaining
but you commented this literally 1 minute after the video was uploaded how would you even know you were gonna find it entertaining
*Deez nut shell videos
yeah
@@swampy725 seriously
Indeed
Costco if you haven’t acquired a badge: access denied,filth. Costco if you have acquired a badge: greetings, member, you are allowed entry.
It's been 6 months since i last went to costco, cause the place gives me anxiety and i watched this to help me like to go again, thank you !
This video's editing is just flawless, such an incredible attention given to details with all the sound and video effects
Literally martincitopants
@@cossariccardo8567 He was in the video at 0:29 too Lmao. He was falling because Australia is upside down.
TELL ME ABOUT IT!
Personally, my favorite location of any Costco's are the giant walk-in fridges where they keep some of the fruits and vegetables. Escaping the California heat in one of those is pure euphoria.
PREACH
Used to live in Arizona, the cold room really was a fucking oasis after a week at a steady 120 degrees Fahrenheit
I wish there was more videos so I never end watching this channel
I already download all your videos man they are so addictive for some reason
I will now protest to have a Costco in Germany.
Here's a real-life hack: You can go in, walk through an empty register and find yourself in the food court. If you're real ballsy you don't even need to be a member to buy the hot food
See the above comment. They can’t sell you the food.
you don't have to be a member to use their pharmacy.
I do this all the time
Shhhh don’t give out the sacred trick so readily like that
Absolutely MAD editing, congratulations to whoever put together this masterpiece
joe did
Prettty sure he edited all of his video himself
@@dadutchboy2 Who's Joe?

You have such a great voice, I love listening to you :)
new zealand also recently had a costco open, apparently its getting flooded with people
3:45 "You are already in the back" I'm dead ☠️
I felt when he said there are no bad memories of costco, went there for years and LOOKED FORWARD TO IT, as a child, shopping FOR FOOD, they made it FUN, madlads
COOL thanks for GIVING US your THOUGHTS.
I bought a huge jar of jalapeños that I still haven’t touched.
4:18 I also wondered how the hell they manage to install your toilets back in because I always thought toilet were welded to your floor, and if you broke them, they had to buy a completely new house. Yeah, that genuinely what I thought as a kid.
As someone that has been going to Costco way back when it was called The Price Club, I practically grew up at Costco. Your analysis was spot on. Cant believe you didn't mention that the hotdog with a fountain drink is only a buck fifty which is the exact same price it was in 1986. Crazy!
I cannot tell you how many times I've been asked if we have something "in the back" while working at Costco. Some people don't understand the concept of wholesale warehouses lol.
As a Costco employee finding stuff where it isn’t supposed to be, I often almost ask a member where the items are. It’s constantly being moves around
I though Costcos were big, never thought you'd be able to jam one into a nut's shell
As a employee from Costco I can confirm this is true
Bro watched the video on x100
Atleast wait 10 mins after the video is uploaded
@@skeletalwarrior3190 nawh mate, I just.. Slowed down time and watched it
@@user-gc9sw2ym9z thats another way to do it lol
@@user-gc9sw2ym9z costco employees have to have a stand to be employed
"big building's,big cars. Big people..." i love he dosent even care about what he just said not even a smirk 🤣
We’re Costco guys, my wife flinches when I make sudden movements
I actually love Costco.
One of the places I feel kind of okay shopping at.
