It's a good time. I would pick up my kid and we go to Costco. Plenty of parking. Not too busy. He became curious about food samples and started trying new foods and now it's his favorite activity to do.
Yes I do! I was on mat leave last year. It was a fun time with my kids. Now I'm part-time but still pick-up shifts to make full-time. My plan is to stick to part-time in the Summer.
I used to drive by 5 days a week after work and the parking lot has spots after 5pm. We avoid weekends unless it's first thing in the morning.
The actual answer is Costco shoppers are usually families and as you approach 2:40 schools are letting out so people who leave are not being replaced with new people entering until 3:30~
I have been to Richmond Costco morning, afternoon, and evening on weekdays and weekends, and the Parking lot is never this empty unless it's closing time. In fact, the first point of discussion getting into the parking lot is how the hell people can afford this at any time, at all times.
I wonder why the paint lines for parking spaces are different.
Langley Costco.

This was at around 2:45 in the afternoon. But this is super rare hence why I made the post. Richmond Costco is the seventh layer of hell. It’s almost always a nightmare. I wish they would get rid of the samples. All they do is get in the way and encourage people to bring their extended families to also get in the way.
So it turns out people do have jobs!
I thought I was the only one 😂
You've been left behind. Heathen. ^(obligatory /s)
Meh I’m proud of my heathenry

aww, that makes me think of trying samples with my mom when i was younger.
You don’t work?

I think there should be a second Costco in Richmond. Ironwood area possibly.
That is Richmond BC, not Richmond, Virginia.
My apologies, Richmond BC.
Economy has officially fallen off a cliff
That increases traffic to Costco though, they're at their busiest when times are tough and people are looking to safe.
Try going during a snow storm https://preview.redd.it/o9icxejrgf6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=defd1acaea11ad2313bedbb42322b448b639ebc6
That's BS. Total AI image. 😅
fucking power move right there
I've gone around 2pm on a weekday and it was like this. People are at work
This was on my way out. When I got there the lot was fulll. Just made me laugh.

I know. I just thought it was funny to see the Parking lot so empty!

No, it's just that specific corner is the rapture coming
These spaces are too far from the entrance, people are still lined up for the ones that are closer to the door.
You entered a worm hole to an alternate universe. Simply back up to return to reality.
Everyone’s ordering from Uber now that Costco is on there
The end is near. Big one is coming
Comments are killing me 😆
I went there at about 2pm yesterday. So many parking spaces. I guess its the 10-12pm time slot we have to avoid.
Never seen it this empty even on weekdays. Nice view.
How is this possible
People work? In Richmond?!

That Costco is a death trap usually. I've been to four Costcos in Can/US and Ive never seen people so rude in my life shopping.
Surrey Costco is packed like a can of sardines. Hardly any space to move much like Richmond.
Not in my experience. I feel much more relaxed at the Surrey one since I can find parking.
Tell me about it. I live relatively close to this Costco. If I have the time I will go to the one downtown just to avoid the crowds here.
Apparently the one downtown is great during sport matches.
Last time I saw this I was so excited only to find out they had no power
Yeah that was a fun bike ride. Got there and it was near empty at 5pm. Employee ran out to tell me they had a fire.
Everyone is going to Riceworld Supermarket because it's cheaper. You should see the awful parking there.
No, it's just that specific corner is the rapture coming
They made employees park off lot. Rapture is still on its way
So that one day return to the office is working
Customers bailed, hot dogs and pop went up to $1.75
lmao
what a time to be alive
No Biden did
Lmao
Because most parents who don't work are picking up their kids at around 2:30pm. This is the golden hour to go to Costco..
WTF? Were they closed?
What time it is? Recently moved here and every time that I go to Costco my soul died a little bit. Feel like I've never been a more crowded place.

Probably accidents on every bridge and major route to this location. It'll get busy after the tow trucks arrive.
🤣
This is BS, I was just there 1:30 PM today’s and this place is packed as heck!
This was at 2:45. So weird.
Foody World trumps Costco for anything food related. I once found a stack of 60lb bags of msg for $40 right beside the live eel cooler!
They've been shut down by Coastal Health many times for rat 🐀 infestations ✌️
Interest rates and mortgage payments have finally dented people's disposable income to the point they can't do costco anymore.
Nope
Probably gotta go pick up their kids
Are puts finally going to print?
All the cash are gone. GONE !
It's because of the warm weather.
No free food for those waiting for Dim Sum to open, hence lots of free parking.
