Well given that lawtchan had actually asked the question, I was being a nice guy and providing an answer.
I know that you know everything, and was a bit shocked you weren't being helpful and sharing your tremendous knowledge.

The guy obviously isn't doing his job if he didn't even look at your cart. Management probably suspected this and had to do this in order to prevent being sued for wrongful termination. Don't feel bad, if it wasn't you they would have used someone else. It was probably just a matter of time before he got fired. Look on the bright side, he probably hated his job but was too scared to quit because he was afraid his wife would be pissed.
First of all. Management should never ask a customer to do the dirty work. That was tasteless to make a customer lie at the door.
If management wanted to set this guy up, they could have found someone who wasn't a regular customer. Like maybe a family member or an employee from another store.
Using a regular customer is piss poor management. Because now, the customer will do what Lawtchan has done. Tell everyone he knows about the shitty experience. Enough said...

Ok..got it
I did get a computer from Costco last week and they called the mgr over at checkout and he put his initials on the receipt...then I went to exit..
Maybe they have 2 processes for big ticket items :shrug:
excellent point.....the story also reinforces the fact that there are more thieves out there than you can shake a stick at...people that don`t give a second thought to ripping others off...maybe i`m wrong,but i don`t think it used to be quite this bad...
i doubt that i would have let the manager use me as a pawn in her little sting( i don`t blame lawtchan...he really had no time to let the issue fester on the old back lobe...it was such a spur of the moment thing you don`t have time to think through the ramifications)...but i understand the store`s p.o.v....inflation is destroying us and we all have to pay for thievery in the long run....
conflicting emotions on this...still,i would have felt the way that law felt if i had been involved....the way the manager put him(the customer) on the spot was inappropriate,imo...

That's odd because Costco keeps their carts OUTside...
And by this story, we don't know the guy was fired. He may be being coached to do better.
The worst part about the story is that a real customer was put in the middle of this situation.
Maybe u can get me a new keyboard at a discount. If u saw what i was typing on i think u would.
Fair enough............I need to go get my clothes ready for Church tonight..............:0003
Age Discrimination.
They put him in a position he can not succeed and then fired him for it.
Do they do this to all employees or just the elderly?
No warning? Straight fire?
Lawsuit should be filed.
Ill never shop at a Costco again after hearing these low down scum bag tactics being employed there.

Fuck Costco
Fuck Costco
You know what, specialty stores like Wegmans and Harris Teeter are better and I can coupon there too. I have had employees treat me rudely a few times at Costco too. If I had a big family it might be different. I have a Costco membership but I'll stick with the grocery stores. End of rant.
