Costco’s revived perk: Members love this employee's brilliant fix!
- Replies 0
Costco is known for unbeatable deals, but it’s not just about the savings. One of the biggest perks—free samples—has always been a fan favorite.
Now, an employee has stepped in with a brilliant fix that’s transforming the experience!
In a world where the little things can make a big difference, a Costco employee's firm but fair approach to managing the sample stations has won the hearts of shoppers.
A customer, so impressed by the worker's handling of the sample tray, took to social media to sing her praises.
The employee, likened to a “lunch lady” or “schoolteacher” from a past life, wasn't afraid to lay down the law.
She insisted that customers take the samples they touched and wait their turn, bringing a sense of discipline to the often chaotic sample-grabbing process.
"Very crowded store today, but this one sample lady was taking no guff from the vultures customers. Told one person they had to wait till the tray was pushed up front. Told another they touched it, so they have to take it," the customer shared.
The social media post quickly garnered nearly 3,000 likes, striking a chord with those who've navigated the sample station battleground.
Comments poured in, with one shopper admitting to avoiding samples altogether to bypass the “vultures.”
Another commenter humorously suggested the employee be armed with a whistle and clipboard, acknowledging her role in keeping the chaos at bay.
"We need more like her to whip people into shape."
While the sample stations are a highlight, Costco's appeal doesn't end there.
The retailer is known for its generous return policy, offering refunds on almost every product.
There are exceptions, of course, such as electronics, which have a 90-day return window, and items like cigarettes and alcohol, which cannot be returned by law.
But overall, the policy is a testament to Costco's commitment to customer satisfaction.
Moreover, Costco memberships come with their own set of perks, including deals on products like the “modern Mexican soda” De La Calle Tepache, which was recently spotlighted as a hidden gem by an Instagram user.
The drink, available in a 12-pack case for $17.99, is touted as the cheapest deal around, though it's currently only available on the West Coast.
At The GrayVine, we understand that it's the little things that can make a big difference in our day-to-day lives.
Whether it's a well-managed sample station at Costco or a friendly smile from a stranger, these moments of order and kindness are worth recognizing and celebrating.
So, the next time you're navigating the aisles of your favorite store, take a moment to appreciate the unsung heroes who help make your shopping experience a little brighter.
