We will probably go again next month so we'll see if they will do it. No doubt some customers are real jerks. I am sure you have come across many! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-employees-wont-load-your-cart-if-your-kid-is-sitting-in-it#post-15278 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 11:47:49 +0000 Mrsbells 15278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe its because of something that happened at that particular store? I'm not defending the costco employee but as an ex cashier myself you will be suprised how customers behave sometimes even when its obvious you were trying to help them if something goes mildly wrong they totally turn against you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-employees-wont-load-your-cart-if-your-kid-is-sitting-in-it#post-15270 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 11:39:25 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 15270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really, they do it at ours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-employees-wont-load-your-cart-if-your-kid-is-sitting-in-it#post-15184 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 09:17:40 +0000 tequiero21 15184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>unfortunately, all the suers in this world make everything so hard for us!!!! they'll get an extra buck but stuff we didn't have to worry about, we have to worry about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-employees-wont-load-your-cart-if-your-kid-is-sitting-in-it#post-15123 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 01:12:51 +0000 808love 15123@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They do it at ours, a few times in the past months. It does seem a little risky though. I was the one who was a little nervous because Emi just started sitting up in the cart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-employees-wont-load-your-cart-if-your-kid-is-sitting-in-it#post-15111 Mon, 14 Nov 2011 00:20:43 +0000 Sha 15111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At our Costco they load the cart while Max is in it. They're always super nice and sometimes will pretend to scan him for price :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-employees-wont-load-your-cart-if-your-kid-is-sitting-in-it#post-14814 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 10:01:07 +0000 BabyBear 14814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at Costco (New Jersey) yesterday and saw a few toddlers in carts that were being loaded. Interesting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-employees-wont-load-your-cart-if-your-kid-is-sitting-in-it#post-14797 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 09:28:04 +0000 HLK208 14797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was there yesterday and they loaded the cart with my son in there...along with 2 weeks ago when we were there last. </p> <p>Sorry you had a rough time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-employees-wont-load-your-cart-if-your-kid-is-sitting-in-it#post-14767 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 06:50:22 +0000 Andrea 14767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now I am thinking maybe it was just this one jerky employee. Hope so! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-employees-wont-load-your-cart-if-your-kid-is-sitting-in-it#post-14751 Sun, 13 Nov 2011 03:55:17 +0000 Red 14751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just at Costco 3 days ago and they loaded my cart wirh LO in the seat.

I got scared after a few bad experiences, but am starting to get better at it.</p> <p>Putting toddlers in the shopping cart seat is key, so I can see why their rule was so disruptive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-employees-wont-load-your-cart-if-your-kid-is-sitting-in-it#post-14711 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:30:46 +0000 Andrea 14711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: that is what i figured. now i am hoping this does not spread to other stores. it is already hard enough running errands with kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-employees-wont-load-your-cart-if-your-kid-is-sitting-in-it#post-14710 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:27:07 +0000 mrbee 14710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bet a kid got hurt during checkout one day, and sued Costco. And so their legal team was forced to change their policy, to avoid that extra liability.</p> <p>Super annoying, and not exactly family friendly. Sorry you had to deal with that!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/costco-employees-wont-load-your-cart-if-your-kid-is-sitting-in-it#post-14708 Sat, 12 Nov 2011 21:23:00 +0000 Andrea 14708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I did a Costco run with the LO today and she was just not in the mood to sit in the shopping cart seat so the trip was a pain in the butt. I got tired of chasing her around by the end of the trip and was finally able to wrangle her into the seat at checkout. But then the check out guy told me to take her out because they are not allowed to load your cart for you if there is a kid sitting in the seat. I was already annoyed at that point so I didn't ask any questions and just refused to remove her and said I would load my own cart. Is this some new Costco policy? This has never happened to me there or at any other store. </p>
