"There are several perks of being a Costco employee. The membership-only big box store is known to be generous with the purse strings, leading the charge for raising the minimum wage for its workers. There are pension plans on offer as well as multiple annual bonuses for long-tenured employees. And, of course, it helps to snag a free membership for your friends and family."
"Across surveys and anonymous ask-me-anything sessions on Reddit, there are some items that have been flagged by Costco workers as being a consistent disappointment. It makes sense to listen to the wisdom in their words. Employees at any retail store have often accumulated experience of what shoppers are satisfied with versus which items are being returned frequently. They lend an ear to the most common complaints about a product and know which ones are truly worth the money in the long run."
"Slice 'em, toss 'em in salads, or juice 'em: there are endless ways to use strawberries. And if you are strolling through Costco, you might even find yourself staring slack-jawed at their size. A Redditor found themselves taken aback by the sheer size of the produce at the warehouse - one photo shows three giant strawberries matching up to the height of a water bottle. However, looks can be deceiving, because these monster-sized berries have not won over Costco workers."
Costco provides strong financial benefits including higher minimum wages, pension plans, annual bonuses, and complimentary memberships for employees and their families. Employees develop firsthand knowledge of product performance and customer satisfaction, allowing them to spot items that frequently disappoint shoppers. Anonymous Reddit surveys and worker reports highlight certain products that lead to recurring complaints and returns. Staff observations guide shoppers away from items that generate long return lines and buyer regret. Large, visually impressive strawberries are specifically noted by employees as a common produce disappointment despite their appealing size.
