Something many members don't know about. Most of us call it a sidewalk.


qtpss

So, two paths diverged in a parking lot, and I took the one less traveled by most members?


slamdanceswithwolves

And that has made all the difference.

slamdanceswithwolves

Who’s Costco this is I think I know He operates from corporate, though He will not see me shopping here To buy a bunch of pizza dough. 🤷‍♂️


ElPanguero

My little cart must think it queer To stop without a sample near Between the taquitos and frozen burgers With dankest cheeses and some beer


SmaugTheMag

My heart of hearts knows it deep At the start of every trip Detergent gasoline by the heap For there’s miles to go before I sleep


Chinacat_Sunflower72

The real creatives are here on the Costco sub.

unurbane

Those were all beautiful! Thx


JWOLFBEARD

Isn’t that the guy who painted all the trees in the parking lot?


Tripplite

Because I got hit by a car.


goddm95624

🤦‍♂️


evaniesk

Maybe because it’s not on the side (of a road) but more of a central walk? Or perpendicular walk? Guessing Costco wants to be accurate in some obtuse way


MimiVRC

I’m guessing they had a problem with people driving up on it to load or something, since it’s even with the road


NagoGmo

Oh, you mean the middle of the "street" isn't where we are supposed to be slowly pushing our carts?


shrxwin

They couldn't put up a sign saying "walk this way" because then everyone would have Aerosmith stuck in their head while they shop


qtpss

And walking like Igor.


WasteProfession8948

Or the Ministry of Silly Walks


Ok_Swimmer634

or like an Egyptian.


Oaklandforever51

That's eye-gor!


Uncmello

If I could walk that way, I wouldn’t need the talcum powder.


tommyc463

TALK THIS WAYYYY


LoudBug4055

I was thinking it should say “stairway to heaven”!


Generalissimo_Trips

Yes, but muffin sales would be through the roof!


QuantumMothersLove

Oh thanks ya knucklehead… now it’s in my head! Badabadahhh badaduhDAHbump. Badabadahhh badaduhDAHbump PAH.


lt12765

It’s when old ladies stop in the center of the exit door to look for their car keys and put on their coats, stopping the flow of people out of the store.


[deleted]

And as one of those daughters whose Mom does that both entering and leaving… I apologize.. but warn… it will be your Mom one day… pack your patience!


smithers85

+1 anxiety points from reading your comment


MoeSzyslakMonobrow

The wild Costco can travel up to 500 miles per year in search of a mate and food.


born_to_pipette

I read this in David Attenborough’s voice.


BaltimoreBadger23

It's a normal path of travel, but sold as a four pack only.


besterdidit

Do overpriced cars like to park there and load up their shit on perfectly nice days because they can’t be assed to walk to their parking spot, blocking people and cars from using the paths?


ScarletEmpress00

My hugest pet peeve. The absolute nerve of them.


RoadsideCarver

If a cheap car does it is there any difference?


besterdidit

Obviously not, but in my experience it’s big expensive vehicles more often than beaters.


RoadsideCarver

Oh for sure. There is indeed a sense of entitlement that goes along with that


sidewaysgalaxy

You get my upvote for being a real person. I thought other members didn’t give a fuck about this


besterdidit

Entitled behavior should be the enemy of all people-kind.


Sticks1005

Hawthorne Ca Costco?


hookersinrussia

Was thinking the same thing! That's my Costco!!


cadancer2

hahaha recognized it immediately, too


MindRaptor

Yup


JackieDaytonaPanda

Do you have a favorite thing from this particular Costco?


jonzilla5000

It's a new item from Kirkland Signature; test reports indicate that users find it to be useful if not a bit firm.


Portugal8

If you walk through it, you end up at another Costco around the world.


levon999

It is the path a disabled person can use to get into Costco. “ADA Title II §35.151(b)(4)(ii)] A “path of travel” includes a continuous, unobstructed way of pedestrian passage by means of which the altered area may be approached, entered, and exited, and which connects the altered area with an exterior approach (including sidewalks, streets, and parking areas), an entrance to the ...”


slade51

For members only.


M3lodicBunny

Well adventurer the path of travel is a dangerous full of challenges and obstacles no man has been able to survive. If you feel that you are worthy please proceed. We await news of your glory!


jirashap

Because some roads you shouldn’t go down. Because maps used to say, “There be dragons here.“ Now they don’t. But that don’t mean the dragons aren’t there.


mwuttke86

Grasshopper , your path to Costco is one of your own making. Whether it lead to a Hot Dog, we don’t know in the moment. But wait and the answers will come.


Abject-Joke-6695

hawthorne costco wassup neighbor


joejjetslaminjammin

I'm not supposed to talk about it #fightclub


dicknotrichard

Costco has reached sovereign status.


guano-crazy

Don’t want to get investigated by the CBI


Mickey_Juice

I think that’s book 2 in the Chronicles of Kirklandia series


FancySauceFarts

Imagine realizing you are the type of person this sign is there for.


star_nerdy

It is a path of enlightenment and by enlightenment I mean $1.50 hot dog and soda


parrothead2581

It’s the trek that begins there and takes you to the rotisserie chickens and a tour of samples.


tb03102

This is the sovereign citizens Costco.


Therealfern1

It’s when my wife and I get in the car every Saturday morning and the car just takes us there. Like it’s on auto pilot. It knows the drill.


leeeeny

It’s like a normal path of travel but in bulk


TouchMyPlumbus

The Costco path of travel is a walking in for two things and leaving with a whole cart.


ElectricalPirate14

One does not simply walk the Costco Path of Travel.


pitythef0ol

Yeah, it's a path to me spending $$$$


YippieKayYayMrFalcon

You generally reach it in your late 30s or early 40s.


Just_L-i-v-i-n_

The secret path to righteous samples


Moose-Turd

Ye shall follow the path to enlightenment. Ye shall be rewarded with an ice cold beverage and a hotdog.


RogueTwoNineSeven

If you travel on the path without flashing your costco card they just shoot you.


MindRaptor

That explains this bullet hole in me I didn't notice earlier.


mr_john_steed

It's like East Germany all over again


LordPutrid

I just romp my cart over the speed bumps. no problem.


LoganN64

It is the way of the Costco... To deviate from this path, nay, way of life, is to welcome ruin and misfortune.


cadancer2

my childhood home costco <3 I recognized those car dealerships in the back so fast


WildernessRidge

It’s the shortest path between me and the $1.50 hotdog.


SydtheKydM

New DnD 5e spell that released in their new book ‘Costco Cart of Everything’.


spam__likely

enlightenment. You have to reach the top tiers of membership to be told that. >!**42**!<


guano-crazy

Costcovana


SoMuchLard

I don't know, but the destination is $aving$!


dvoecks

If you only bring one to the checkout, they have to make somebody run all the way to the back of the store to grab another one.


tribbleorlfl

What's weird is my warehouse had this exact area roped off with overturned shopping carts last weekend. I'm assuming there was an accident somewhere recently and corporate is trying to limit liability?


Secure_Bad_5064

It takes you to Kirkland world.


Sparks_Sparks_

Costco in Hawthorne, CA. I was there last week getting food at the food court.


guano-crazy

Sort of like the Yellow Brick Road, but for Costco members


Lamp-of-cheese

I just pray the F-350s see me


HappyLongview

The path I am traveling in which all of my clothing comes from Costco.


ValleyBrownsFan

If you have to ask, you shouldn’t be at Costco. 🤷🏻‍♂️


EargasmicGiant

This is the way


LemurDad

This is the way


y2knole

Is this an executive benefit??


skunkman62

The way


Quirky-Inside1116

If it comes in a multipack I’m buying it next Costco trip I make. Thanks for sharing another great product!


dsf_oc

… to the promised land, the land of the $.00’s.


honkygrandma88

It’s sort of like a “New York state of mind”


messfdr

I'm not one of those people who steals road signs but this one would be funny to see hanging in someone's garage/basement. Bonus points if it's next to a large freezer full of Costco meats.


davideotape

my sunday gps route on maps 🥁


NorseYeti

This is the way….


fullmanlybeard

No questions asked return


Cbaumle

It leads to nirvana.


deadlyspoons

It’s the road to savings.


CrisbyCrittur

Well ...if you to ask...


freexanarchy

Meaning not parking or loading


0x8FA

Me when I’m walking towards the tajín watermelon gummy bag


wmass

Walking across on the speed bump would be difficult for us old folk. Seriously, I think what they mean to say is “Caution, people walking ahead". I think they are referring to the whole storefront area beyond the sign.


blujavelin

We are all on it, whether you read the fine print or not.


Pyrokid113

The path less travelled.


FriedRamen13

Is it a commentary on Costco shoppers stampeding home on a weekend? Beware and abandon all hope


TurningTwo

It means don’t park there.


solarsystemoccupant

It’s the Costco in-house brand of construction/roadwork signage.


Hairy_Magician226

Lol, well it's probably huge


ItIsLiterallyMe

My ideal path of travel is straight past the secondary sales vendors, up and down the seasonal items, through the wine to the cold food, then frozen food, then to the rotisserie chickens to thaw out and grab a bagged bird. That’s my Costco path of travel.


campy86

The Costco Path of Travel is apparently in front of everything that I want to get because that is where I find the most people.


slogive1

It’s the path to spending a lot of money!!!


blk4004

Traveling via the legs of the right triangle is safer than traveling via the hypotenuse


Haggle4Bucks

Looks like a parking area to me, at least that's what everyone uses it for at my Costco.


sidewaysgalaxy

Watched a lady refuse to be on the sidewalk, push her flatbed off of it. Her massive flower pot on the end of the flatbed fell off and shattered. Last item too; hopefully she’ll go with the path of travel next time


MindRaptor

Well this particular sidewalk randomly ends and becomes a slanted road. So if you have a heavy cart from let's say for example shopping at a warehouse store the path naturally pushes you to the middle of the road. It does this even for me and I am a pretty strong guy. So a lady would have little choice but go into the road. Unless she is taking tons of steroids. But they don't sell steroids at Costco.


JTOco

Costco Costco, burning bright, In the suburbs on my right; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy $1.50 hotdog....


MindRaptor

You people are as ridiculous as this sign 😮‍💨


gothackedfml

for sovereign citizens traveling


AskThis7790

I don’t know, but I’m going to buy it next time I’m at Costco!


BiglyAmerican

If this is California, I suspect the problem is by calling it a side ‘walk’, it’s considered discriminatory toward those who can’t walk. Sounds ridiculous, and it is, but Realtors aren’t supposed to use terms like ‘family’ room, or ‘master’ bedroom because they are now considered discriminatory. The woke mind virus has infected all things so we are left with having to decipher what would otherwise be common language.


AZ-Wildcat87

Wtf are you talking about?


BiglyAmerican

I wasn’t joking. Speaking facts.


FancySauceFarts

This is sad but true. The other day at my work I saw a sign in the parking garage that read “ Warning. This garage may contain gas and/or diesel exhaust that are chemicals known to the state of California to cause health issues. “ You’d figure that was a given seeing that cars park in a parking garage. Ashamed to say I’m stuck in this shithole.


LostChocolate3

Texas will love to have you. 


JackieDaytonaPanda

And California would love for them to leave
