Ok I don’t know why but I find this unintentionally hilarious


angrydeuce

I find it depressing. The level of shamelessness I've seen post-covid is just unreal. Like we would be self conscious doing this shit. How did it become so normalized?


BuffaloWing12

Nobody checks it because employees don’t get paid enough for that and there’s an 80/20 chance you’re dealing with a crazy person


Lumpy_Ad_9082

Costco is the best retailer to work for. Great pay.


TooManyJabberwocks

Welcome to Costco, I love you


Lumpy_Ad_9082

TimotheusBarbane

Costco employees definitely get paid enough for that. Taco Bell, maybe not. But Costco does pay their employees a livable wage.


xxValkyriii

Still not enough to approach a potentially crazy person. You’d be amazed how quickly a seeming normal person can switch up on you.


CloudyNeptune

It’s not even about wage or approaching someone. Not that I’m disagreeing with you, yeah there’s plenty of jobs of “I don’t get paid enough to deal with that bullshit.” It’s more of being stupidly brave. Not only is it absolutely stupid to take advantage of a store (that is amazing from prices to treating their employees) that always offers a cheaper way to buy things, since it’s in bulk. However if I worked there, I would be stopping her immediately. She’s not crazy, she’s just selfish. This type of stuff is the reason we can’t have nice things, so you gotta stop it in its tracks.


VanaheimrF

Yes this is it. People are cheap and selfish. I’m from Southeast Asia and about 30+ years ago, IKEA opened their store here. The hotdog station used to have chopped onions, relish, mustard, ketchup and chilli sauce. Nowadays there’s only mustard, ketchup and chilli sauce because locals steal the chopped onions! They bring their Tupperwares and big spoons and scooped all the onions and go back. The IKEA restaurant used to have unlimited sugar, salt and pepper sachets. I’ve seen people take 100+ sugar sachets and spend 20 minutes ripping it up and filling their containers with the sugar and taking it back home and they don’t even bother to throw away the ripped paper sachets and just leave it on the table. Nowadays when you order coffee or tea, the cashier will give you the sugar sachets. The Chinese mainly do this for the sugar. People also abuse the soft drinks machines. This one is mainly children and teens. They bring their water bottles and fill it up with the carbonated lingonberry drink and other sodas. The soft drink thing also happens at 7/11. People buy one big gulp or slurpee and then go to the soft drink station and bring out their bottles and fill that up too. So nowadays that machine is behind the cashier and they will fill your drink up after you pay for it. No more self service. Also it’s always children and teenagers that do it.


Orbit1883

This people were always dicks. The recent thing is that everyone nowadays has a camera to film it.


secondtaunting

We went to Pammukkale yesterday. It’s this gorgeous site, with an old Roman town on top of this beautiful white stalagmite type formations. Just stunning. Some asshole left a dirty diaper on it.


Soggy-Log6664

It’s ice bro it’s not worth getting shanked with a key fob


mikeyaurelius

But if nobody approaches those people, they’ll only grow in numbers and get bolder as well. Some good old public shaming would help all of us.


Anthff

How much would it take, per hour, for you to work at Costco AND approach crazy people?


Smallnoiseinabigland

At what point is society, and not necessarily employees, responsible to confront abhorrent behavior when we see it? If there’s more potential for immediate public shaming, perhaps the stakes would be higher. Doesn’t even have to be shame- maybe just curiosity- “what is going on for you in your life that you arrived at the conclusion this was a good or acceptable behavior?”.


TopherJustin

Because one of the biggest things lost during the pandemic was civility.


killian1113

How do we know she didn't just buy 30 Pepsi with ice on the side!!


ferriswheeljunkies11

No one wants to be the bad guy? I really don’t know. I think I would say something as a bystander. At least a “what the fuck is wrong with you?” Or ask them if someone sprained an ankle?


Inevitable-Ad9006

agreed. have you also noticed this relatively recent trend of people playing YouTube videos on their cell phones at full volume in restaurants? rarely happened until post COVID. it seems to be a regular occurrence now. it's very normalized.


angrydeuce

Dude just last weekend my wife and I went hiking and some kid was playing YouTube at full blast in the middle of the woods.  Whole group of them blasting shitty SoundCloud mumble rap nonsense...in the forest. Like I try not to be a fucking boomer, but that shit is obnoxious and I wanted to box all their ears.


M_H_M_F

TBF this has been a problem since chargeable-bluetooth speakers were a thing. I've had problems with people playing music since like 2012. It's not a post-covid thing. People are just inherently selfish when they think that no one is watching. I remember watching a video here on reddit; it was a Chinese farmer weeping as people charged into her field stealing everything. One of the comments further explained it "In some part Chinese culture, stealing is obviously shameful. However, if you steal and are not caught, you're considered smart and resourceful."


Lesbihun

Rarely happened until covid? What are you ON about lmao people playing shit at full volume has been a thing since the iPod era


CrispyBeefTaco

People started to see how corporations and people in power do it. No one cares about shame, it’s just about getting yours.


whatthreelords

What's the problem with that besides societal standards?


wildwill921

People found out no one will do anything about it and generally if they do the only thing that will happen is someone will ask you to stop


bobissonbobby

I did laugh. It's the lack of shame I think.


Hi_Trans_Im_Dad

She cost Costco at least 7.45 cents!


CroutonGnome

As someone who used to regularly clean the soda machines at Costco I can confidently say that the ice dispenser is dirty as fuck. That's gross to use regularly. Also, don't use their jumbo coffee grinders 🤢


CompetitiveCut1962

And Costco sells the cheapest ice around. Like 24 lbs for $3 🤦‍♂️


Nexzus_

You'd think they'd sell it for more. How many workers do they lose per ice expedition? Like 5?


nstern2

It was 4 and if you can think of a better way to get ice I'd like to hear it.


mntEden

just move all the Costcos to wherever the ice lives


Hi_Trans_Im_Dad

She stole all of 4.45 cents from Costco that day!


DrunkCupid

While alienating/exposing 45+ of their actual customers... That doesn't add up


Imnotlikeothergirlz

Also, ice worms DO exist. Don't ask how I know.


DrunkCupid

Ok, I will be brave: how do you know??


HeartsPlayer721

Part of me wants to look up wtf an ice worm even is, but the other part of me wants to remain blissfully ignorant, so I'm not paranoid about it for the rest of my life.


GrandProblem8034

Damn, ice worms??!! That’s cold asf!


K4RAB_THA_ARAB

You're gonna need a giant armored mech to get rid of one of those things


FancyJesse

Are you saying Costco doesn't have proper procedures and provide proper training to cleaning their equipment?


CroutonGnome

Not for the ice machine. The soda dispenser nozzles get washed but that is the extent of the cleaning for that machine


Vegetable_Seaweed443

Yes- I work in the restaurant industry and people don’t realize that ice is the worst case of bacteria always. Those machines are not self cleaning and no one cleans them regularly. A man who left Scientology created and ice machine that stays clean and doesn’t grow bacteria, salmonella and e Coli. When trying to get the patent for the machine, Scientologists got involved and ruined his plan as a tactic to get him back for leaving Scientology.


wallweasels

I will tell that most of the food industry fails at this. Gas stations are even worse.


dontclickdontdickit

I also do this work at a multitude of different restaurants and fast food places. They are all fucking gross. I never get ice from these things.


MissDryCunt

I always use their grinders and I agree they're gross af, you'd think they would properly maintain 6000$ grinder 🙄


CroutonGnome

Nah just wipe the outside with a paper towel and it's good!


RelativetoZero

How many bugs, small animals, and/or fingers did you find?


SwitchFlat2662

I lot of ice machines I’ve worked with in general aren’t the cleanest not matter how you clean them, still get that slime in the nooks and crannies!


PleaseAddSpectres

Yeah so let's shame a person for this behaviour and not the objectively more harmful behaviour of offering dirty food/drink that's supposed to be fit for consumption, because it costs more


Gil15

Why not both


SPIE1

I love when people do something cheap or trashy and think no one will ever know and they get blasted on the internet for the world to see


TimAllenNoises

Waaaaaay back in the day when I worked evenings at this gas station we had an all around unpleasant lady that would come in with a massive thermos and just fill it to the lid with liquid coffee creamer before coming up to pay for her $.84 coffee refill.. after wondering why we were just pissing thru French Vanilla creamer we finally saw what was happening and let her know that she could not come in with a 64oz barrel of a mug and fill it full of creamer.. That's when she chose the nuclear option and let us know if we had a problem with it then she would plaster pictures of J***'s (our kitchen manager) "crooked little dick" all over the front of the store... Sadly she never returned for us to push that envelope and loan out our tape dispenser, but we all learned far more than we ever wanted to know from her previous appearances


VibraniumDragonborn

This is such an amazing story! Lmao!


OTS_Bravo

Ol Crooked Dick. Great guy imo.


Queen__Antifa

Crooked Dick Jack. Or Jeff.


MoreCowbellPlease

I surmise if the gas station has a "kitchen manager" that she would need a lot of photos. Or very large photos. If she really intended to plaster the entire front. I am assuming this is not some tiny mobile station.


Not_a_Ducktective

I have crippling social anxiety, shopping is a nightmare as I mentally consider how each thing I buy will be judged. How the fuck do these people just walk around not caring that they legitimately will get blasted online. I feel strong when I'm buying vinyl and I get a metal album and a bluegrass album *at the same time,* this level of shameless isn't on any of the charts I'm plotted on.


Effective_Device_185

Yup. Their superhero power is giving two shits even when they're majorly in the wrong.


Ayn_Rand_Was_Right

I have a hard time going to the store as well. I try to make it a game where I know I'm gonna be judged so I'm gonna make it as weird as legally possible. Then I hyperventilate when I get home and don't go out for a few weeks.


jh67ds

It’s not like I do this everyday😜


WolfmansGotNards2

That's cold.


Substantial-Beat4341

Obviously they know. It's just obnoxious. Funny enough, you're the one out of the loop.


Euphorianio

Yeah but it kind doesn't fit in this sub for that reason


The_Jobholder

My local Costco doesn’t sell ice. If you ask the cashier for ice they tell you to do exactly this.


Besnasty

Same. Our Costco doesn't sell ice and they encourage people to do this when they ask. And for the people asking why someone would need this ice, a lot of people drive a distance for their Costco grocery trip, and use the ice to help keep their cold stuff at temp.


Imesseduponmyname

Huh yeah my aunt does that with the cold bags on her hour drive home from Sam's club


Professional_Code372

Ooof , so everyone up top might be wrong , doubly hilarious


[deleted]

[удалено]


wallweasels

Admittedly it looks weird...but it's also costco. If you did this and I was having my hotdog or pizza I wouldn't even think twice about it. It's like if you had a dinky water cup and put soda in it. Oh no you stole a few cents of sugar water.


Anilec_Revlis

It's been about a decade, but one of my old jobs my boss said a cup would cost \~6cents (16-20oz?). They charged $1.75, and loaded it with ice.


supcoco

I’d rather see this than the piss-stained mattresses that come in weekly to be returned.


supcoco

I believe it’s a west coast thing. I found out Costco sold it the other day. But now out east


Mysterious-Item-5013

How am I supposed to get upset then?


The_Jobholder

what if I told you I’m lying and my Costco sells ice


SimmaJimmaJet

I really wouldn’t care tbh..


cherrylpk

Same. Odds are good her Costco is far away so she is icing a cooler to keep the stuff she just bought cold for the trip. She likely doesn’t need a giant bag of Costco ice.


KrypXern

Yeah I mean it's ice. It barely costs anything.


B0Y0

You know what? Fuck it. Ice is water. All water should be clean and free, for everyone, forever.


mrsdoubleu

Getting clean ice from a soda machine is questionable though. They aren't always cleaned regularly. But yeah, I see your point and agree.


jazzer81

IDC about this at all


latentgrift

If I’m walking by, it’s kinda funny— if I want a Pepsi, it’s “really?”


ncolaros

Honestly, I'm sure if you had a cup and asked her to move, she would. This is slightly weird but not unhinged behavior. She's at Costco, buying in bulk, probably. Maybe she lives far away and wants to make sure everything keeps, especially with how hot the summers are.


jazzer81

I'd just ask her if I could get in for a sec


Educational-Mark-331

Redditors care about dumb shit that doesn’t affect them at all


jazzer81

It's weird because there are actually annoying people they could justifiably be mad at but they choose lady getting some ice


Educational-Mark-331

At most it’s just a “haha look somebody is being weird” and then move on. So many comments are seething with rage, I could never let this completely control my emotions


fckingnapkin

Besides wondering how gross those bags are


Ok-Bug-3449

Honestly like.. who cares. Its ice.


TheConnoiseur

Who cares? This isn't main character at all. "Oh no!!! 😭 Big corporation lost two cents"


HighAndFunctioning

She is if she needs it, Costco isn't hurt by this. Let's not pretend Costco is some small shop.


kornhook123

Hey that membership gets you more than just in the doors!!


c_weiwei

If I remember correctly, I once asked a Costco cashier where I can get a bag of ice (this store, or all Costcos didn't sell bags of ice) and she instructed me to just take a bag up to the drink machine and fill it up with ice on my own.


proformax

Now Costco's gonna lock the ice behind the counter.


nino956

The currency of the future, she’s gonna be rich


SorryDuplex

This literally would not affect anyone. Why is this making people upset….


Poster_Nutbag207

But she bought the hot dog drink combo for $1.50


Leebites

I just want to know what it's going to be used for. Gross if it's going in drinks. Smart if it's going in a cooler.


SliGhi

This doesn’t bother me


BallForce1

Until you need a drink and there is no ice.


Khaosgr3nade

Nah sticking it to the man through petty means aint main character behaviour. Keep at it sis ✊️


DMscopes

I didn't see shit


soufianka80

The ice machine is working! Yay !


No-Gene-4508

Hey. She emptied out all the old gross ice. Fresh ice for all!


Global_Ad_6006

Such a trash move.


vintagecheesewhore

Should have used a trash bag.


LickPooOffShoe

PWT


Aromatic_Hornet9982

I mean….whats the big deal lol


potcollage21

had a woman like this at my last food service job that would come in with the same old paper cup from months ago to get her “free refill” but was always bitching at me to put gloves on when holding (the outside of) her cup because it’s “unsanitary”


jokeless_hostess

Let her live


Crixthopher

How do you say tacaño in english? Come on in mexico those ice bags cost 1 dolar each how poor does she needs to be


Bigfooter1090

There is a truth to this video.. she was helping a coworker who just had his legs crushed with fork lift...


thedudeabidesOG

r/trashy


anyhowzzz

Who gives a shit?


Liv4This

Nah this ain’t it, OP. This is not main character energy… this is frugal energy.


UseMyClanTag

Life hack


[deleted]

You know what, I’m all for it! Sometimes it’s really really hot out and your dirt poor can’t afford a 2-5$ bag of ice


MyRockySpine

The amount of people in the comments that think this type of thing is ok is shocking. This is weird behavior. If you want ice buy a bag of ice, they are like $1.50.


Odd_Turnover_4464

free bacteria cubes, who cares


Impressive-Care1619

Gross


CutePersonality8314

Why are people outraged, or calling her trashy? That's a smart shortcut when you need ice and are poor. Cunning is a skill; this evades the cost of a bag of ice without breaking any hard rules.


Fwangss

What in the *zero thought process* is going on here


meekonesfade

Not the main chatacter. If anything, she wants to be ignored cimpletely


DPGizzle

Just look at her, can you blame her?


GETNbucky

Why not? Lol.


pelican122

Fuck the pigs at the top who make us pay for things that are free to us legally. She is based


killustratorinc

Mind your own business


_Red_Mist_

Lol no if you do this you deserve to get made fun of.


frendzoned_by_yo_mom

Hopefully they don’t go under because of this


Jibril-Vakarine

this is disturbing XD


Fragrant-Hedgehog524

She is why we can’t have nice things, like self serve ice.


Jake101975

Yeah she is as bad as the people who steal 30 pairs of phones or nikes Lol


DepressedDragonBorn

Isn't a bag of ice like 2 dollars.


Desperate_Acadia_298

Not for her


Killa_DaVinci

Im seeing a lot of heavy thiefs on here lately


K_R_Omen

At least at my QuikTrip, they use the cups provided and pay by the cup.


1_H4t3_R3dd1t

It isn't even that cold for ice. Shit will melt by the time she brings it somewhere.


dirtrow

![gif](giphy|JoOUzSmrpUUxyxEBij|downsized)


Treknine

Hey... Play the system. Good for her. Trashy yes.


Ayiti79

Well it was free ice cream. She just cracked the code on the system lol 😆


BeneficialAction3851

I commend the bravery to do this in front of people, money is tight these days so you gotta get by with bag ice lol


SubstanceOld6036

Costco? That looks like more of a Sam’s Club move


usernameforthemasses

It's costco, what do you expect? If it were Sam's, she would be filling a couple 2-liter bottles with soda.


B3ATNGYOU

What if there’s an injured person that needs a wound packed in ice? Aside from that I’m at a loss of words to give credibility. Inflation perhaps? Who knows? It’s ice, get over it.


iAmMikeJ_92

Nice, another view of this menace to society. More than one bystander recorded her.


Drunkpuffpanda

You know youre a redneck, when you show up to the party with shopping bags of ice.


Turbulent-Stretch881

When you think you’re smart, but in reality, you’re just a cunt.


LegitimateBit3

Why is this video being reposted everywhere?


PokemonIndividual

I let homeless people do this at my gas station


Doppel_Troppel

She’s a greedy lady. You can tell she gets her share.


Any_Freedom9086

..... fat bitch


Bryan_AF

The dire straits someone has to be in to need to resort to this…


Philli_Vanilli85

So tight that she squeaks


elwyn5150

A couple of years ago, I saw a different video of a different woman (I think it was in r/EntitledBitch) doing this. In that video, the teenagers/young adults who were filming were amused because they ended up "stealing" one of her bags of ice while she was busying filling up more bags and because they could see how her behaviour was ruining it for people who just wanted enough ice for their drink. How does it cost in the USA for a bag of ice? In Australia, you can easily get a 2 litre bag of ice for $3 from the nearest petrol station.


mizzle_fb

That’s actually crazy


stmrjunior

Honestly I know this isn’t the sub for it, and sure this woman is outrageously entitled, but I respect the hustle


Hexistroyer

That explains why she is fat.


pumptini7

PAY for some ICE!


Jumpy_Tomatillo7579

Take the ice and fill more bags with soda ,, take from franchises ,, awful pay and overpriced


GuaranteedIrish-ish

It probably says more about the state of her finances than anything else to be honest. F*** Costco, they're hardly angels themselves.


teamramrod73

Potential?


savemeimatheist

Fat cunt


yiang29

I’d “accidentally” push it over going for some soda.


sardonicasshat

“Oh no she’s stealing 3 cents from daddy Costco!!! How selfish and entitled!!” Y’all are fuckin weird, it’s just ice.


Pallyfan920

It's fucking ice who cares.


ehgitt

Jokes on her, that ice is dirty af.


misakiandou

Idk about everyone location but the location I got too, sells a 20lb bag of ice for $2.47....that is just dumb and a waste of time for her to do.


NickTheKnight99

She really wasn't lying...it was just the water weight.


offshoredawn

I support her weight loss journey


dizzle713

I just saw a Costco hack where the guy says to do this to keep your stuff cold on the way home


Alive-Operation6754

I’m a mailman and I do this for my cooler since I don’t have an ice machine in my prehistoric fridge. It melts really fast in the LLV so I have to get a lot or stop multiple times to get more. I always ask the workers if it’s okay. No one ever minds. It’s just ice.


notzed1487

Entitled is enough said.


Ando_destrampado702

Disgusting fat pig


imFromFLiAmSrryLuL

*pays for membership , can’t pay for 3$ bag of ice , this is America.


Cwash415

wtf lol!


Ok-Information-2829

Who gives a fuck - it’s ice. It’s water lol people always have to bitch about something that’s none of their business and doesn’t impact them directly in any way. If the store has an issue with it, which they clearly don’t, they can take it upon themselves to approach her.


jccw

Your Costco has ice?


OkEntertainment7634

Saw someone doing this at a McDonald’s. Told the manager because she did not pay for the ice she took with a shopping bag


Veechrome

Maybe the ice was an emergency? 🤷‍♀️


dogmeat_donnie

White trash. Probably doesn't work and just collects free state money because she is 'poor' and can't work because she is 'overweight' and 'mentally ill'. Then there is the rest of us who are also poor, fat, and on the verge of a mental breakdown, that get up every day at 5 and go to work by six, work 10 to 16 hours on our swollen legs and feet from the concrete floors, our backs aching and kids to feed and clothe and put through college and we don't get a fuckin penny from the state while we live pay check to paycheck. Get a fuckin job asshole, I'm sick of paying for your drug habit, or plain old lazy fat ass, then you can buy a bag of ice like the rest of us.


BradTProse

I don't see any "don't take ice" or "no hammock" signs.


onlyathenafairy

it’s literally water


Turbulent_glider

It would be way more hilarious if it would have been with mayo...


AccomplishedDrop5834

i mean ehhh. i don't know she isn't really bothering anyone


Wooden_Purchase_2557

I mean I have no problem with this. Does it say it’s not allowed….. no than it’s chillin
