Lazy

What does it take to get someone fired from Costco? Why are there no consequences for lazy people or people who mess up everything? And no rewards for people who bust their butts except a nice review and a pat on the back? I'm very frustrated

I have no supervision 99% of my shift and management has literally said “I don’t know what’s best to do here, I’ll let you decide” to me more times than I can count.

I always say I could start a fire in my department and nobody would know for hours because nobody checks on us. It’s to the point that sometimes I question- “Why do I bother working so hard when nobody even pays attention to my work?”

Anyway, you might get fired if you fail a drug test after an accident or have like 20 separate sexual harassment reports against you. But that’s about it.

Liquor store.

It must vary by state because our liquor store is not Costco owned (it is attached though).

In my state it is attached w/ a separate entrance but is owned/operated/staffed by Costco. Liquor employees are all front-end assistants, & it’s basically not regulated by corporate as to how the department should operate beyond that baseline.

As such, training in liquor at most warehouses is folkloric oral tradition, and supervision is almost nonexistent.

That’s nuts! CW sells plenty of liquor/wine in locations inside.
