However the lines are so long, I go to BJ's 5 times for every 1 Costco visit. BJ's has self-service checkouts and few manned registers, while Costco has not enough manned registers considering the volume of customers, especially on a Saturday morning. It is unacceptable to have to wait in line for 20 minutes to buy anything.<br /> I have heard that Costco drives those Zamboni's around their stores, cleaning the floors, to give customers the impression that they are in a "warehouse." They could easily wash the floors at night.</p> <p><a href="http://www.fastcompany.com/comment/comment-node-ant-3226">read more</a></p> Thu, 20 Nov 2008 10:52:01 -0500 Mike Cohen 1088599 at http://www.fastcompany.com
