‘Craziness,’ rages Costco member over cart change as she begs chain ‘do better’
A COSTCO shopper is raging over the configuration of their shopping carts.
Heather Quadrato, a shopper with a young baby, begged Costco to make it easier to shop with her child.
Quadrato shared pictures of her child in the shopping cart, and showed how she couldn’t fit groceries and her baby in the cart.
“Ok seriously now! Either shopping cart manufacturers or car seat manufacturers need to do better! This is craziness!” she wrote.
“Left picture is at Costco- right is stop and shop. No place to put a car seat any more!
“I know technically you aren’t supposed to put one on top of the child seat but where do we put the baby and the groceries now????”
Other Costco shoppers agreed with Quadrato and shared their own predicaments at the store.
“Yeah they do need to do better,” one shopper said.
“Pretty sure target has carts with infant seats – too bad I can’t buy everything I need at target tho,” another shopper said.
“I’ve been saying the SAME thing!!! I can only buy so much each time… And once they’re bagged they don’t fit!” a third shopper said.
” It’s a struggle while they’re that young for sure,” a fourth shopper said.
Shopping carts aren’t the only thing customers are upset about at Costco.
Some shoppers are furious with how much queuing they had to endure during their shopping trips.
“I went to Costco once,” a user wrote on X.
“Lined up to get a membership. Browsed the store and realized there were no real deals.
“Picked up a couple of things (less than $100).
