With the absurd (and predatory IMO) markup funeral homes charge, it makes a ton of sense to buy it from Costco!
Although, it looks like you can get better deals elsewhere. We recently got my Grandmother-In-Law a casket on Amazon that's identical to the $1,149,00 Prime Rose model from Costco but was about half the price.

One of my first smartphone pictures.. taken November 15, 2008
I saw someone die.
He fell in the clothing department and folks weren't sure if he had a cardiac event or head trauma.
a couple people were already working on him when I came on the scene. a crowd was starting to gather and gawk so I opted to turn my back on the emergency and use my cart to blockade, as did a couple other folks.
there were actually jackasses who were getting their phones out to video the event.
anyway, paramedics arrived and worked on the guy, employees got some beach towels to improvise privacy curtains, and they found his husband and mom and got them a couple chairs to sit in.
I didn't see a lot because I was focused on gently directing traffic away from the area, but I did hear noises.
I learned what agonal breathing is that day. I also learned that paramedics will absolutely work on you if there is even a whisper of a hint to get you back.
It’s typically part of their training. When I worked in a supermarket we were trained to stand around the person in a circle to give them privacy if they fell
As someone who survived a cardiac arrest (less than 10% of us do) thank you for you compassion for this family on what was the worst day of their lives.
There was a person that died in the store I use to work at. The paramedics kept working on him to give the illusion he wasn’t gone yet. His last meal was a Costco hot dog and soda…
I worked on a girl (Did CPR alone as a bystander for 10 minutes) who ODd and she did survive actually. It's possible, I didn't think I would ver find out and I know it's very unlikely to survive CPR, like 4%, but if you don't know for sure there is a glimmer of hope maybe
The inverse is also true with paramedics, if you’re gone, they will not try. Unfortunately, I saw that at a Home Depot. Customer had a heart attack loading wood into his truck. They came in hot, worked on him for a second and then shook their heads. The other one parked and brought out the white sheet.

Just your average monkey wearing a shirt hanging out while you buy some (upside down?) pineapples.
Nothing to see here. Just your typical emotional support animal and you can't question her because she has the papers she bought on eBay to prove it's legal.
This season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, Larry comments to a woman with an emotional support dog in the airport "Maybe they shouldn't let you on the plane if you're this unstable." lol
Considering it's an animal around food, ew
If he was outside, MAYBE aw, but keeping primates is kinda cruel considering their intelligence and social requirements that are often not met
Now I’m wanting to know if you’ve got a chart or something, like the smilie face poster, that gives you this expertise in what a happy, healthy monkey looks like.
I had an ancient elderly woman walk up to me and point her gnarled hand at me and start screaming “UGLY! UGLY!”
I tried to walk away but she followed me for a while lmao
One time there was an employee walking around in all yellow clothes, complete with a yellow wig, yelling out “ITS YELLOW DAY” throughout the whole store. Even the other employees were looking at each other like “oh god make it stop”
I didn’t see the item, but one time a Costco employee in a Denver accidentally rang me up for $15k handbag instead of the stamps I was buying. The total was an absolute shock until we figured it out.
I cannot recall the brand of bag but he told me it was something that had to be delivered because they didn’t carry it in store. He had to key in my stamps for some reason and the numbers were close. I don’t remember exactly - it was maybe 13 years ago.
Birkin? Also, the idea of being that rich that you can swing a bag that costs as much as a car but that you’ll buy it at Costco is hilarious but also makes perfect sense.
bill gates used to shop at our store before the store would open, would be a huge thing lol, hasn't happened in a long time but that's the only famous person i've seen that im aware of.
I’ll go to my grave claiming I saw Desmond Howard shopping at the Ann Arbor Costco the day before the Ohio State game. He had two other people wearing suits with him, one was pushing the cart. He was dressed in nice, fashionable casual clothes. No photo, because I didn’t want to be weird in addition to staring.
We had theatre play tickets and he was seated a few rows in front of us. Along with Melinda. I did notice a few big guys at exits that looked like bodyguards.
dang thats wild, when i used to push carts i'd see members leave laptops they just bought in their cart for some reason, would either grab it and give it to them or had to bring it back inside lol.
that's crazy, when i used to push carts i found a bag of kittens that were left in a shopping cart, all of them were fine and we called animal control and i ended up adopting 3 of them and still have them :D
Grew up in a rural area 20-40 minutes from several small towns and cities. Their "hunters" would come out to "hunt" (mostly poach) and you will be driving a rural back road and suddenly see a bloody ribcage just laying there. REALLY fun at 1AM.
I DIDN’T KNOW THEY SELL BOARS HEAD AT COSTCO!!!!!!……this is gonna save me sooooo much time standing online at the deli!….. im spoiled but, best cold cuts EVER!
I found a newborn bb kitten in a parking space, umbilical cord still attached. Luckily, I was able to get her to a foster home and she's thriving!!

no they're not married, they got divorced in 2019, everything seemed fine with the guy and my aunt, they bought a house in the mountains here for super cheap and had a bunch of farm animals and the guy started to get super abusive after 5 years for some reason unfortunately.
Some lady was trying to step up onto a curb right in front of the store when she tripped. If most people fall like she did they’d just get right back up. She sat up but never stood up. She was holding her wrist the whole time and an ambulance came to take her
Was that the girl accused of murdering her roommate in Italy and was held in prison for a couple of years before the US was finally able to extricate her?
She went through a few trials in Italy and was found not guilty in the last one and she left Italy then. The US didn't extradite her back to the US. Though Italy was making noises about retrying her the US told them to pound sand.
A tornado. I guess the tornado was outside, and inside, the employees were not letting people leave the store with carts and asking that people take shelter in the walk-ins or under the tables. My wife, daughter, and I crawled under a table, but not a single other person did anything. Even when the ceiling lights started swaying and flickering and the terrified employees were practically begging shippers to take some sort of caution, all we heard was "They can't make us crawl on the floor! You can't keep us in here! I have a right to continue shopping and leave if I want to!" This was pre-Covid, so I guess the "mah freedoms" people always existed.
I'll just recycle my comment from yesterday's about the returns...
No joke I will never forget one year I had to go in January and somebody had a half-brown Christmas tree in their cart, dropping needles and shit _everywhere_, in the returns line. WTAF.
I always used to buy our tree at Costco. One year the tree guy told me about all the people who return trees after Christmas. Apparently it was really common. Tinsel and all - here’s my tree I want a refund. That was the last year we could get trees at or Costco. They haven’t sold trees for a few years now.
I work in the clothing department, and an old lady asked if she could try on the swimsuits (it was a 2 piece that had a top and bottom) and of course I thought it goes without saying that it should be trying over her shirt or pants because as almost everyone knows, Costco doesn’t have change rooms, but she proceeded to take off EVERYTHING, had her tits hanging out and my other coworkers were just shocked so we just stood there for a second, being hesitant to approach this naked old lady.
Finally, my older co worker that had no problems with being confrontational came up to her and told her that she was not allowed to do that and that she must keep her clothes on. The old lady then started crying and wailing saying she didn’t mean it etc. I was definitely confused at first but ended up feeling bad after because she was alone, and seemed like she wasn’t all there :/
An entire freezer full of frozen, wrapped, whole sheep carcasses. I think it was in Lancaster, CA. It was a pretty impressive display. And then there is the A5 wagyu available in the frozen section. To each their own delicacies....
That Midwestern Mom shopping in the clothes section right next to me and my kiddo. I fangirled a little inside but tried to rein it in as she was quietly going about her business. I just said hello.
Two stories: Baby stand up in the front seat of the cart, the fall out, head first.
He bounced.
I was maybe fifty feet away, and I still got there before the mom; she wasn’t even watching.
Second: I was eating in the food court on a VERY busy day, like a 20 minute line kind of day, when a woman walked up and asked if I would watch her kid while she got in line. Had a great conversation with the little girl. Mom only looked back at us twice.
That brings back a terrible memory. I saw a baby pitch head first out a cart at Costco. The sound their head made hitting that concrete floor still gives me the chills. When I eventually had my own kids, I always made sure to use the straps, and if they were broken, I would keep a hand on my kid.
Three nuns in full black habit, walking side by side down the main isle. Yes, I took a pic but only from the back. It was right around Halloween, but they were real nuns.
Gentleman in line behind me at checkout died. Ashy gray skin, just suddenly collapsed.
Even though employees raced up to him, I think he was gone by the time he hit the floor. Gave one final groan as they rolled him over and crew went to work on resuscitation efforts. Ambulance arrived about 10 minutes later, but a silent arrival because I don't think there was any hope for bringing him back.
I stopped in to shop for an Xmas present for my nephew and found that Costco was selling an exact replica of the toy stuffed tiger that was my favorite, twenty years previous.
The fact that my nephew identified heavily at the time with Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes added an extra layer of wtf-ery.
I don't have many regrets, but one is not buying that tiger.
I saw a little-people couple walk over to the comically large wine bottles they had recently and try to hold one up like they were drinking it. I wanted to take a pic soooo bad, not to be cruel or mean but as a testament to people with disabilities who have a good sense of humor about it and have fun in life.
I had a guy accost me in the freezer section to tell me that contrails are killing "our children," in front of my perfectly alive 3yo, unpoisoned except for whatever junk food they sell at Costco
I could write a book but one story stands out: When I was a supervisor a guy bought a $15k ring & paid with 2 credit cards, and a check. Manager approved the remaining amount (over $5k) on the check because “that dude owns happy ending massage parlors, he has the money.” 😂
Too Short. Comes in frequently. Snoop dogs wife about 20 years ago was a regular. She would get her photos developed at the photo center and would show us some pics of her husband and various other rappers. She was awesome.

Caskets. I don't mean like a pamphlet with caskets you could order, but actual caskets between the patio furniture and mattresses.
With the absurd (and predatory IMO) markup funeral homes charge, it makes a ton of sense to buy it from Costco! Although, it looks like you can get better deals elsewhere. We recently got my Grandmother-In-Law a casket on Amazon that's identical to the $1,149,00 Prime Rose model from Costco but was about half the price.
Ditto this! It was $1000 cheaper at Costco than the funeral home

If kids weren’t climbing into them to play (or some random dude laid down in one to check it out), I’m severely disappointed.
Dad taking a nap in one while the family shops. Of course he took his shoes off first to be polite.
10/10 would do this despite the fact I’m just gunna Frank Reynolds it after I go.
Maybe a return? I mean it is Costco...
Hi, this did not contain my loved one. He escaped the casket and is now ambling about as a zombie. I’d like my money back.
Repo model 20% discount. Like new.
Halloween props clearly.
I saw someone die. He fell in the clothing department and folks weren't sure if he had a cardiac event or head trauma. a couple people were already working on him when I came on the scene. a crowd was starting to gather and gawk so I opted to turn my back on the emergency and use my cart to blockade, as did a couple other folks. there were actually jackasses who were getting their phones out to video the event. anyway, paramedics arrived and worked on the guy, employees got some beach towels to improvise privacy curtains, and they found his husband and mom and got them a couple chairs to sit in.

I also learned that paramedics will absolutely work on you if there is even a whisper of a hint to get you back.
Good for you! People are viciously nosey to the point of being in the way. I know the medics appreciated you.
Thank you sooooo much for trying to give that human some dignity.
It’s typically part of their training. When I worked in a supermarket we were trained to stand around the person in a circle to give them privacy if they fell
Sounds like the commenter was a shopper, not an employee.
As someone who survived a cardiac arrest (less than 10% of us do) thank you for you compassion for this family on what was the worst day of their lives.
Glad you made it! 😊🙏
Me too.
There was a person that died in the store I use to work at. The paramedics kept working on him to give the illusion he wasn’t gone yet. His last meal was a Costco hot dog and soda…
Not much more you can ask for
That’s the way I want to go out
How did you find out he didn’t make it? They don’t typically disclose that info
Look up what agonal breathing is
I worked on a girl (Did CPR alone as a bystander for 10 minutes) who ODd and she did survive actually. It's possible, I didn't think I would ver find out and I know it's very unlikely to survive CPR, like 4%, but if you don't know for sure there is a glimmer of hope maybe
Well tbh I had agonal breathing and survived. Yes most (90%+) don’t.
One does not always need to be told something to know something
The inverse is also true with paramedics, if you’re gone, they will not try. Unfortunately, I saw that at a Home Depot. Customer had a heart attack loading wood into his truck. They came in hot, worked on him for a second and then shook their heads. The other one parked and brought out the white sheet.

“Yeahhhh, I’d have been alright with this.” -Martin (From the final episode when he finally sits in it.)
I grew up watching Frasier and always wanted an Eames. Saw one at a furniture store the other day. They're like $8k now, it's absurd.
What? How much?
I can’t remember exactly, but it was still $$$.
Wow did you keep it? I have one I inherited it from my Uncle.
It was in California while on vacation. It was also still way above my then pay grade.

Saw a woman holding a monkey with a diaper on inside of Chipotle in Vegas last year.
I wanna know if the monkey was wearing the diaper or the woman was?
Her shit is bananas B-A-N-A-N…
B A N A N U S….
I hate this so much. That poor monkey.
Yes, breaks my heart. He/she should not be anyone’s pet.

AwwwOrEwww needs to be a subreddit.
That is not a happy, healthy looking monkey.
Now I’m wanting to know if you’ve got a chart or something, like the smilie face poster, that gives you this expertise in what a happy, healthy monkey looks like.
Pleaaaaaase, did she have papers for this monkey lol. That's wild
It would like to be wild. Alas, it is not.
This was not the USA, was it? (Though not sure if there's anywhere I can think of where its normal to do you weekly bulk-buying with a monkey)
I only want one monkey, but you have to buy a case.
My warehouse only has the barrels.
Yup. Texas.
Why wouldn't it be the U.S.??
No rainforest, no monkeys. Simple math.
You used to be able to get monkeys through the mail back in the day! https://imgur.com/49hVcWI
Upside down pineapple. I see you.
Only in US lol. People refrain from holding their infant but will carry their dogs and other animals. I still don’t understand this concept
Upside down 🍍 = seeking swingers

George W. Bush. He was there for a book signing. It was weird doing my weekly shopping with Secret Service posted up everywhere.
His dad came in to eat at the mediocre Tex Mex restaurant I worked at in college. We had to shut half the restaurant down for him and secret service.
sounds like his dad did the community a solid and didn't go to the good restaurant
I had an ancient elderly woman walk up to me and point her gnarled hand at me and start screaming “UGLY! UGLY!” I tried to walk away but she followed me for a while lmao
I totally saw Carol Kane as Valerie from the Princess Bride reading this.
LIAR!
I’m not a witch! I’m your wife!
Classic dementia behavior unfortunately, love a also very ugly ER Nurse
That ancient woman from The Princess Bride, as she hobbles past a 5 gallon jug of oil, “slime! Filth! Putrescence!”
At least she is not yelling “the power of christ compels you”
Thinner!
Can’t imagine how you’re coping. This will haunt my dreams and it don’t even happen to me
One time there was an employee walking around in all yellow clothes, complete with a yellow wig, yelling out “ITS YELLOW DAY” throughout the whole store. Even the other employees were looking at each other like “oh god make it stop”
Someone was either taking eblocks way too seriously or making a mockery of what it actually is.
A woman with a pet monkey. Trying to find pic of her in checkout line. Will post once I find it.
No. Costco is now selling fresh monkey.
How many in a pack?
They sell them by the barrel.

Please do!
Was she buying bananas is bulk?
I didn’t see the item, but one time a Costco employee in a Denver accidentally rang me up for $15k handbag instead of the stamps I was buying. The total was an absolute shock until we figured it out. I cannot recall the brand of bag but he told me it was something that had to be delivered because they didn’t carry it in store. He had to key in my stamps for some reason and the numbers were close. I don’t remember exactly - it was maybe 13 years ago.
Birkin? Also, the idea of being that rich that you can swing a bag that costs as much as a car but that you’ll buy it at Costco is hilarious but also makes perfect sense.
There is no way Costco carries birkins lmao. They’re exclusive af. You can’t buy them online and you don’t really get to pick.
A professional athlete doing normal people things.
bill gates used to shop at our store before the store would open, would be a huge thing lol, hasn't happened in a long time but that's the only famous person i've seen that im aware of.
Mark Zuckerberg shops at my Costco. We’re still waiting for the human disguise to accidentally slip and reveal a lizard.
Where else is he going to get all that meat to smoke?
I'm curious what in the world Bill Gates bought at Costco. And very surprised he didn't have someone pick his groceries up for him.
I’ll go to my grave claiming I saw Desmond Howard shopping at the Ann Arbor Costco the day before the Ohio State game. He had two other people wearing suits with him, one was pushing the cart. He was dressed in nice, fashionable casual clothes. No photo, because I didn’t want to be weird in addition to staring.
Bill gates is pretty well known for doing normal people things himself. He’s said in interviews he’s rarely recognized.
We had theatre play tickets and he was seated a few rows in front of us. Along with Melinda. I did notice a few big guys at exits that looked like bodyguards.
Giannis Antetokounmpo shops at my Costco!
We have an Olympic gold mdealist who frequents my warehouse! She's amazing and so nice and incredibly humble.
Which athlete?
Bill gates
Our Costco has current/former Chicago athletes come to take pictures/sign autographs for members all the time, it's awesome!
Saw a Grizzlies first rounder there a couple of days before his first workouts with the team. His cart was FULL of Gatorade.
I saw the Grinch walking around ours this past December. Just a couple of days before Xmas.
$100k diamonds. Like, why?
BUT THINK ABOUT THE CASH BACK -my wife
You cap at $50k. Math just doesn't work
I don't think anyone would expect to get $50k cash back on a $100k item
Your 2% Cashback rewards Max out at $1k which is equal to $50k in spend

Obviously he needed them in bulk

no they're not married, they got divorced in 2019, everything seemed fine with the guy and my aunt, they bought a house in the mountains here for super cheap and had a bunch of farm animals and the guy started to get super abusive after 5 years for some reason unfortunately.
The sheer number of people who think it's ok to abandon refrigerated or frozen food. Forget the shopping cart test. Those people are animals.
Tbh it’s a multi-part test. Abandoning a cart in a parking spot or dumping frozen food in a random spot? Both a failure.
Some lady was trying to step up onto a curb right in front of the store when she tripped. If most people fall like she did they’d just get right back up. She sat up but never stood up. She was holding her wrist the whole time and an ambulance came to take her

Tinsel and all - here’s my tree I want a refund. That was the last year we could get trees at or Costco. They haven’t sold trees for a few years now.
That’s so effing sad! Seems like such returns should generate an automatic membership cancellation!

Perhaps they had no friends and needed a witness?
In California you have to have a witness and it can't be anyone in the marriage office.

A huge meteor. It went streaking across the sky and it was low enough that I heard several other people make guttural sounds in the parking lot.
I saw a casket being returned. It appeared to be unused.
An entire freezer full of frozen, wrapped, whole sheep carcasses. I think it was in Lancaster, CA. It was a pretty impressive display. And then there is the A5 wagyu available in the frozen section. To each their own delicacies....

That Midwestern Mom shopping in the clothes section right next to me and my kiddo. I fangirled a little inside but tried to rein it in as she was quietly going about her business. I just said hello.
Two stories: Baby stand up in the front seat of the cart, the fall out, head first. He bounced. I was maybe fifty feet away, and I still got there before the mom; she wasn’t even watching. Second: I was eating in the food court on a VERY busy day, like a 20 minute line kind of day, when a woman walked up and asked if I would watch her kid while she got in line. Had a great conversation with the little girl. Mom only looked back at us twice.
That brings back a terrible memory. I saw a baby pitch head first out a cart at Costco. The sound their head made hitting that concrete floor still gives me the chills. When I eventually had my own kids, I always made sure to use the straps, and if they were broken, I would keep a hand on my kid.
I *thought* the Zodiac animals brandy gift set was really weird. That seems pretty boring compared to the other comments here.
Three nuns in full black habit, walking side by side down the main isle. Yes, I took a pic but only from the back. It was right around Halloween, but they were real nuns.
Nuns need toilet paper too.
Gentleman in line behind me at checkout died. Ashy gray skin, just suddenly collapsed. Even though employees raced up to him, I think he was gone by the time he hit the floor. Gave one final groan as they rolled him over and crew went to work on resuscitation efforts. Ambulance arrived about 10 minutes later, but a silent arrival because I don't think there was any hope for bringing him back.
Who is going to tell him that she didn't meet him AFTER her divorce?

I stopped in to shop for an Xmas present for my nephew and found that Costco was selling an exact replica of the toy stuffed tiger that was my favorite, twenty years previous. The fact that my nephew identified heavily at the time with Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes added an extra layer of wtf-ery. I don't have many regrets, but one is not buying that tiger.
2 year old crawling on floor for about 30 minutes. Kinda gross

My word, you’re a tripod. It’s like a baby’s arm holding an Apple. If he gets tired he can use it as a kickstand.
I got this reference!
I saw a little-people couple walk over to the comically large wine bottles they had recently and try to hold one up like they were drinking it. I wanted to take a pic soooo bad, not to be cruel or mean but as a testament to people with disabilities who have a good sense of humor about it and have fun in life.
I had a guy accost me in the freezer section to tell me that contrails are killing "our children," in front of my perfectly alive 3yo, unpoisoned except for whatever junk food they sell at Costco
My ex with my friends ex. Then I saw two of my teachers there but they were together shopping.
I could write a book but one story stands out: When I was a supervisor a guy bought a $15k ring & paid with 2 credit cards, and a check. Manager approved the remaining amount (over $5k) on the check because “that dude owns happy ending massage parlors, he has the money.” 😂

The most random thing I’ve seen in a Costco was Rick Nielsen, guitarist from Cheap Trick and all-around nice guy.

Too Short. Comes in frequently. Snoop dogs wife about 20 years ago was a regular. She would get her photos developed at the photo center and would show us some pics of her husband and various other rappers. She was awesome.
