At Costco, when it is really busy, it can be a real fire hazard with people lined up just have someone pretend to audit your cart and then cross off your receipt. It is insane they can get away with abusing their customers like that.

What's insane is you acting like there is some sort of fire hazard. As if they're going to continue checking receipts in the event of a fire.

Checking receipts causes a long line backed up to the registers on busy days, like holidays. Stopping the checking of receipts doesn't magically get all these people with carts through the doors, especially during a stampede. It is a clear hazard.

Costco attracts people who ascribe a very low value to their own time, just look at the 20+ car lines to save a few bucks on gas. It’s no surprise that type of customer tolerates a line to have their receipt checked.

Have you been in a Costco, or is your primary interaction the gas lines? I guess the receipt line every once in a while takes more than 30 seconds? I can’t think of anything else inside that at all is a tax on my time compared to a normal grocery store.
