“I hardly ever saw people that had items that had not been paid for. Literally maybe once or twice in a month of working the door. We would catch hundreds of dollars a week in overcharges, though.”Īccording to David, there were multiple instances during his time working at Costco that customers would accidentally get charged twice for items in their cart. In that case, a supervisor would either refund the customer’s money, or send someone out onto the floor to retrieve the correct amount of the overcharged item to add to your cart. MICHELE EVE SANDBERG/AFP via Getty Images “With the kind of volume Costco does errors are frequent and sometimes just can’t be helped. “During the time I spent receipt checking I probably caught well over $1000 in overcharges.” The scanners are so sensitive that it’s really easy to accidentally scan something twice and not notice,” he went on to explain.
Still, even with the knowledge that Costco’s receipt-checking motives have next-to-nothing to do with customer mistrust, some people still get pretty heated by the policy.Īccording to CheatSheet, an Oregon man took things to the next level when he got into a fight with a Costco employee after trying to sneak out of the store without showing his receipt. Wells ended up breaking his leg and suing Costco for $610,000 - a jury awarded him nothing. If you’re a diehard Costco enthusiast, try not to take their receipt-checking policy personally. No, they don’t think you’re a thief - it turns out they do have your best interests at heart.Getting set up for this promotion is pretty easy.
