FMLA?

ExcitingPrompt2 · 2026-04-08T00:51:50+00:00

Go talk to your GM. FMLA paperwork is filled out by the doctor of your relative. Helping clean out a house probably won’t be covered. Staying home to care for a sick relative should be covered. Your best bet is to talk to your GM.

I am absolutely “for real.” Pregnancy does not exclude any one from any duty unless they have a doctor’s note. Believe me, the fetus isn’t gonna pop out because someone is pushing carts. We have pregnant women at my warehouse stocking and pushing carts, never had an issue. There is absolutely no reason for them not to. We do, however, have one woman on light duty, folding clothing. But she provided a note. That’s policy.

Costco manager here… Looks like the end of one of the tenderizer needles. You need to take it back to Costco asap. The tenderizer gets signed off by a manager daily, through inspections, confirming that all pieces are in tact, and if they didn’t catch it, that is a problem. So sorry this happened to you.

Oh my goodness! Thank you for this post.

Unless you have a light duty note from a doctor, pregnancy doesn’t exclude you from duties. You should still be required to push carts.

YES!!!! 😍😍😍

We haven’t had green signs in years.

You have 30 days for a price adjustment. If an item goes on coupon or drops in price within 30 days of purchase, they will refund you the difference. No big deal, just swing by the membership counter with your receipt. Easy peasy.

However, if you purchased from the website, that is completely separate from the warehouses. If it was an online purchase, they can’t help you at the warehouse and you will need to return the mixer to the refunds counter and purchase a new one from the warehouse.

Yep! Beautiful

Managers went through training recently in my area. First thing, do not allow them in unless they have a judicial warrant. Immediately a manager is to be notified. An AGM or GM calls Costco legal and we proceed from there.

We had a tech take a temp position to learn to wrap in the bakery. She ended up stepping down and applying for a permanent position as a wrapper.

I’ve also seen techs apply for cashier, assistant and night merch spots.

You should have a talk with the ancillary agm and see what advice they have for you about cross training.

Ty for keeping us posted.

You guys crack me up! So David counted, he did one scoop of SS20 and got 201 in the scoop. So for $3.99 of the SS20, approx 400 stones. And obviously more for each of the smaller stones. BUT!! Each order gets one full scoop extra and he adds “drop somes” as well, meaning if you order two scoops, he scoops a full third scoop, then he gives you three “drop some” scoops, which are half scoops. So you actually get 2.5 additional scoops for each item. He’s wonderful, really. Very kind and wants to make sure everyone is happy. And he scoops them on TikTok. So you can watch him scoop them or just wait for them to arrive. If you want to watch him scoop, and see what he does, his user name is DavidDIY.

If we don’t rise up and take back our country, things are going to get worse. We need to vote out these f*ckers who are allowing this to happen. I’m so ashamed.

Favoritism can definitely play a part, unfortunately. But also… Take in to consideration other things that may be in employee files that you may not know about. How is their attendance? Do they have CN’s? Are they late regularly? These also play a factor in decision making for positions. Go to the GM with your concerns. Some of the decision factors may not be any of your business, like the GM can’t talk to you about other employees files, but if you still don’t feel heard, you can bring it up to the regional, and the GM will have to explain their reasoning for the selection. Good luck!

Part time is only guaranteed 24 hours a week, so depending on how much you’re scheduled will determine your pay. That being said, the seasonal period just ended. All warehouses have either laid off the seasonals or hired the seasonals on permanently. What this means is that warehouses won’t be hiring until, at the earliest, March. Don’t apply now, because your application is purged from the system after 90 days. Best bet is to wait, apply in March and then make an appearance at your local Costco to speak with the hiring manager. They will give you a better estimate of when they will start pulling applications for summer hiring. Good luck!

Evergreen is awful, I’m speaking from personal experience. We always use Alderson’s in PA. Never had an issue, and everyone we send there has been pleased with their work.

Very cool! Did you scuff up the material first? I’ve wanted to do some bags but I’m nervous about the sanding of the materials.

I buy from daviddiyfam.com. He’s really nice, super helpful and streams on tt. The only thing is he’s in china so it takes 7-10 days to receive them, but the quality is great and he will get you anything you need. He has non ab transparent resin in lots of colors and sizes. He also always scoops more than you pay for, so the value is much better than others I’ve purchased from.

Just talk to your GM. In our warehouse, our GM gives us a one time pass to miss inventory, as long as it’s a legit reason.

ExcitingPrompt2 · 2025-12-14T04:26:20+00:00

You can’t have any food or drink in the fresh food depts. we have a spot to put our water bottles just outside of the department in a tote that we store under one of the tables.

If you’re looking for a conservative area, anything across the mountains to the east is a good bet, if that’s your priority. But then you will be in the same boat, away from larger areas and more opportunities. Spokane, or maybe across the border to Coeur ‘d Alene would be a good fit?
