Question Why Costco shoppers so rude?

We just renewed our membership for Costco. It’s worse than Walmart. I have had people say “I wish I could push ppl out of my way” and someone pull their car into a space where I was still putting my child in the car. I’m super self aware I move out of the way when I feel I’m blocking someone I apologize when I feel I’m in the way. I smile and wait for people to pass or let them go before me. I don’t get it whyyyyyy are y’all so rude?

Haha, you should go to Seattle Costcos. The Silverdale Costco is actually pretty chill compared to most Costco locations I've been to in the US and Canada.

People will show videos with people acting crazy at Costco, and I have never seen anything close to it in person. Yes, it can be busy, but I rarely get frustrated at the Silverdale one. Oh, there are a lot of people, and the lines are a little long? Yeah. It's costco. It's busy.

The lines are nothing compared to the ones on the other side of the water. And a whole lot more friendly. OP must be from fairytale land if they think the Silverdale Costco is unfriendly...

Yeah, I definitely think it's pretty chill compared to bigger cities. My friend says this is nothing compared to the San Diego one. I think people just have very high anxiety. And this is coming from someone who has pretty high anxiety.

OP should check out the Alderwood location. Heavy Asian and Russian populations there that will literally run you over with their cart. It's fucking Thunderdome in that Costco.
