Oh I like this thread. I worked at the Langford Costco for a couple years while in college. I worked as a cashier/assistant, vault clerk (count cash) and tire shop.

I still buy Bridgestone RE71 at Costco but I buy in person and take them away for install at a more convenient location. It’s high volume and most workers are not careful with wheels. I watched them put my OEM 94 Supra TT wheel face down on the concrete.

I ate a whole lot of Hot dog + pop combos and grabbed samples while working. The break room had a foosball table. Never liked the pizza even loaded with hot peppers and Parmesan. Other staff always got poutine and could never finish it so I always got their leftovers for free lololol

Fun fact: The busiest warehouses in the world by sales were always in Hawaii. Everyone wanted to transfer to their warehouses of course!

We enjoy the ready made salads they sell. Good healthy choices.

Employees are quite happy and there are many lifers at the Langford location. Costco has an Employee Agreement book which reads like a union agreement. It clearly lays out wage increases based on hours, benefits, etc. Costco has never been union but I always liked how they aim to treat employees fairly. Back then you received $4.00 per hour extra for working on Sundays. People still called in sick because they partied too hard lol
