Is a job at Costco really going to benefit my career that much in the long run, other than to pay my bills?

Thanks for your input though, just please don't generalize this to everyone in the generation because not all of us are like this.
Entry level jobs give you work experience and experience on the skills you've learned in school. It's not a job that gets you anywhere, but a job to put a start you in that direction. And think of it as a job to just get by the summer. Like you said, you're only looking for a summer job, you're not going to expect something like a manager position or a $60,000/year position. That wouldn't be a summer job.

i've in been in the process of hiring a few where their resumes and cover letters were great but come to interview wearing board shorts or have breath smelling like rhino shit.

simply put, i don't fucking care if you smart as hell, if you cant continue a damn conversion, dress like you don't give a fuck, have breath that smells like rhino butt, i aint hiring your ass.
The hygiene part I can understand but the socially awkward I think can be an exception. Some people just don't get all outgoing and comfortable the first time they meet. And going to an interview is not easy for some people especially when they're being blasted with questions (some are more like interrogation), so that part needs to be understood.

If the person being interviewed isn't a jackass and has the skills and knowledge to complete his tasks, I think that qualifies for it. Unless you're hiring for a customer service or anything that deals with customer, then socially awkward is a big no no.

Getting off topic, sorry.
