I've never waited more than 5 minutes in line to have my receipt checked at costco. Also, what most businesses do is not any of costco's concern. And i have never felt like im being treated like a thief.
The entitlement is all over your comment. "I paid for them, They are mine" "no longer deserve my money" "waste half an hour of my time"
What a karen.
I guess it's all about perspective. Its hardly sucking a corporate cock to not be bothered by a fairly innocuous business practice. Im not so deluded to think im more important to them than their own self interests.
If i haven't had to wait half an hour for them to count it up is irrelevant, then i fail to see how your experience is.
Frankly, i wish you were more self-aware. They dont care about you, they never have and never will. There are plenty of people out there who are happy to wait to buy their stuff. You are in the minority and they won't miss you.
Buy mostly your attitude stinks. There's a reason you are in negative thousands of karma. Because people see you coming a mile away and let out a big sigh... "Here cones misery guts, ready to be a grimpy git about the tiniest things"
