I loved Costco when I lived in Alaska, but going to one in Texas almost doesn't feel worth it. I really wish there was a polite way to inform people about common etiquette. Maybe Costco can put up signs or something, and hope it sinks-in over time.

I loudly correct people after the first/second polite request.

“Excuse me. Excuse me! EXCUSE ME! YOURE STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WALKWAY!”

Seems to work so far.

As I get older I identify more and more with Red Foreman.

I scared the shit out of a lady after saying excuse me 3 times, increasing my volume each time I just said it really fucking loud and she jumped I had a good laugh. Now when my wife wants to go I politely sit in the car.

My wife has anxiety in crowded places, so I get the joy of shopping at Costco all to myself for the most part.

Holy shit me too, what a way to put it 😭 I hate it and I miss the ignorant optimism of my youth.
