Welcome to the big leagues, grocery shoppers.
At least, that's the vibe that longstanding members seem to convey to those less confident shoppers at your neighborhood Costco.
In a beloved warehouse where you must cough up some money just to step inside and browse, does that mean you're then allowed to act all entitled? According to a recent Reddit thread, apparently so.
"It feels like everyone thinks that because they paid a membership fee they’re all uniquely privileged," wrote one user, while another Redditor commented, "What I’ve noticed is that Costco shoppers are the rudest, most entitled people I’ve dealt with in a retail setting."
That's not always the case, of course, and other shoppers report in the same thread that their experience at Costco has been nothing but positive. It's true that with any popular and iconic chain comes the inevitable airing of grievances.
And what could be lying beneath the issue of the noticeably stuck-up customers around you is perhaps the real root cause — something USA Today calls "Mad Max but with shopping carts."
“Costco is a very hectic store. Part of this is because it is so popular. Part of it is because it’s a store where people shop quite intensely – exploring different categories, buying in bulk and stopping to sample things,” Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData Retail, told USA Today.
The internet calls the condition that afflicts some Costco shoppers “cart tunnel vision,” meaning they lose all situational and spatial awareness. On the above-mentioned Reddit thread, one person coined the term “meanderthals” because “you can't tell where they're going and neither can they.”
"Don't get me started on the sample table traffic jams," said another user.
Then there are the minor collisions these distracted habits routinely cause. These run-ins dubbed "bumper carts" are so common that warehouse employees joke Costco lubricates the shopping cart wheels with ankle skin, USA Today also noted on Tuesday, April 28.
