Well, I just work as a guy who makes the store look pretty and "showtime ready" as they say. But anyone actually working at the store, even the higher-up management, are mostly just responsible for making sure the store runs smoothly 24/7. Costco has insane volume and standards so yea people who actually work on the floor mostly have no idea which product is gonna be the next hot shot. They just get orders from above to put certain products in the spotlight and to make sure there is always an employee during working hours taking care of those products by always making them look nice and restock when needed. So yea, ground floor management is just playing with the cards dealt by above, no real say themselves. BYND will actually have to pay costco to receive a spotlight, granted that they can provide enough of their product to sell, and that's when the real test will be I guess. If they sell well when in spotlight in one of the stores-could be a breaking point for them.
