"There are many reasons to love Costco. Their bakery is always pumping out new, delicious treats - like this new ridiculously delicious triple chocolate loaf - you can always try plenty of yummy samples, and their bulk pricing system seriously cannot be beat. But one complaint many Costco shoppers agree on is the warehouse's signage, or lack thereof. Someone else wrote that this design takes you on "a magical mystery tour of things you don't need but suddenly want." Many agreed."
"In the Reddit conversation, another person said they recently went shopping at Costco for chicken and ended up leaving with beef jerky, a fleece, and croissants. "What, no TV?" someone quipped. However, the major layout of the store (electronics, fruits, bakery, meat, dairy, frozen goods, clothing, etc.) is known to stay relatively the same. It's just what is located in each aisle and where exactly it's placed in the aisle that shifts."
Costco offers fresh bakery items, frequent samples, and bulk pricing that attract shoppers. Many customers criticize minimal aisle signage and shifting inventory placements. The store maintains consistent major departments but rotates or relocates items within aisles regularly. Some shoppers enjoy the exploratory, treasure-hunt nature and discover unexpected purchases. Other shoppers find the lack of labeling inconvenient for quick trips and note staples like water, eggs, and milk are commonly placed toward the back. The product placement strategy increases exposure to nonessential items before shoppers reach essential groceries. Opinions among shoppers are split between appreciation for discovery and frustration over inefficiency for targeted shopping.
