PSA for shoppers @ COSTCO:
Miserable experience there today.
A little Poodle found her way to me and my parents as we were loading their vehicle.
Lots of GRIEF and LOTS of "I can't do anything" later....2 hours....to be exact, Mommie and Pup were reunited.
ACCORDING to the ONE "manager" that actually took the time out to try and help, The DURHAM N.C. COSTCO has a NO EXCEPTION POLICY about dogs in the building. The "manager" even went so far as to explain to me, that EVEN IF we tried to "sneak the dog in"..."color-coded" vests...etc wouldn't be good enough. THEY REQUIRE "Paperwork" for every dog.
In the Midst of all this, I found out COSTCO MANAGERS don't even know what an ADAM ALERT is. Gal ACTUALLY told me, that the people on the floor... IF they are paying attention and IF they have their "radios" ON...."they" COSTCO takes care of it like that....They just "radio" one another. THEN proceeded to tell me about having a child on her "hip" long enough to process SEVERAL "receiving orders", before the parents showed up.
I am SICK!
SCREW COSTCO!
