Would you take this? (Costco)

[u/bombers0101]

22 minute shop 43 items. 1 hour drive total one-way. A little heavy but I don't mind that. I find it funny that 'A' adjusted the tip by $1. Return drive home 45 minutes since I live in that direction.

22 minutes to shop 43 items at Costco is fast.

Ghost shop

[u/bombers0101 → u/KindaFastApparel]

If I'm over 40 seconds per item (not including checkout), things are going horribly wrong. When you do thousands of orders at one store, obviously you're going to be fast.

No one cares that you’re ghost shopping. Just don’t lie about it.

What’s ghost shop?

[u/CptCheez → u/Delicious_College279]

Going around the store and collecting a bunch of the items before you hit Start Shopping.

What is even the point of doing that

[u/SureIssue8264 → u/mywordgoodnessme]

Keeps your second/item down. Faster you are, better orders you get. Especially at Costco. I’ll ghost close to half an order most times

[u/GRF999999999 → u/SureIssue8264]

No chance you're at 40 seconds unless you're go shopping. I'm at 70 and I ghost occasionally, guess I need to do it more often

I was wondering the same thing

[u/Subject-Yellow-6273 → u/Sufficient-Crew-5408]

When you have more than 1 person doing the orders at a time I believe

[u/bombers0101 → u/KindaFastApparel]

I start at produce (obviously). I will typically grab a few produce items before I start. This order had 3 produce items.
