Costco sexual assault by costco manager on costco property

Hello,

I believe the contents of what I am about to reveal has to be put through to the top of the system as I know of corruption and cover ups within lower level management that is factually correct within Australia and Adelaide Costco. Jeffrey H. Brotman, W. Craig Jelinek or Richard A. Galanti all need to be briefed on this email.

I have been advised not to pass this matter onto Paul Noone or Rob Lees (National Costco Manager of Australia) as this matter due to the particular individual involved has direct contact with both Paul and Rob and along with other employees have witnessed the doubled sided ethical character to the person involved.

I can reveal that I have been an employee at Costco Adelaide but for the purpose of this email and at present I will withhold my real name due to not wanting it to be tarnished due to the capacity this email carries in relation to a Costco Senior Manager.
During my time working for Costco Adelaide I was given factual information that was extremely disturbing by a fellow colleague that was sexually directly involved with the Assistant store manager. For safety reasons I won't reveal the woman involved but its my obligation as an ethical and honest person to inform you that sexual lude acts were performed in various areas within the Costco Adelaide store by George Orphanou the Assistant Warehouse Manager of Adelaide Costco (at the time, I believe he is working in a different management position now. )
The young lady directly involved with Mr Orphanou told me in confidence and at the time I was very upset and scared of the information she had shared with me. Also Mr Orphanou is married so he was committing an adultery which I am very much against as this has affected my own family and had very bad repercussions to me and my siblings.

During the months afterwards It became very clear even other colleagues noticed the closeness and flirtatious behaviour between Mr Orphanou and the young lady involved. Mr Orphanou would often have private meetings within his office with this young lady and would often leave work early so he could spend time at her house. One of the main reasons I have decided to leave Adelaide Costco was due to this appalling behaviour from senior management. I couldn't trust the decision making and felt very unsafe around Mr Orphanou. I have advised the workers Union along with my own person lawyer but at this stage this information has been kept confidentiality,

I am in the process of putting information forward to the media. Channel 7, today/ tonight, sunrise, the morning show, Adelaide advertiser, The Australian, and various other tv and news article establishments as this behaviour is totally unacceptable and the public need to be very aware of it. I have been advised to wait for a return email from either Jeffrey H. Brotman, W. Craig Jelinek or Richard A. Galanti before taking this matter any further.

I feel very hurt personally by Mr Orphanou's actions and its important to shed light onto this situation so the right outcome can occur as I am sure it will.

Thank you for your time,

Kind Regards,
John

Costco costco online

Over the course of two days I attempted to place an order via Costco online. Day one was spent with repetitive "server timeouts" from their end. Day two was spent in trying to set up a seemingly simple business account - note that we have been Costco members for 21 years now. First, their system was insistent that we provide a "nickname" for the address given. Apparently "Home" was already taken as was "Business" (basically that was the height of stupid) so I used an obscenity and that worked fine. No big surprise that I was not "allowed" to edit that. I tried emails and speaking with customer no-service, all of which proved to be useless. We'll be turning in our membership cards and going to Sam's Club shortly. The old Costco we used to know has gone swirling down the toilet.

Costco customer service at checkout

Hello. Today Sunday, January 29th my husband and I visited Costco without our two young children for the 1st time. It was like a date! We bought $900 of goods, including a set of brooms (to replace the old ones we'd also gotten from Costco and loved and worn out.) My husband had carefully placed them in the cart so that throughout our aisle roaming we wouldn't hit anyone. Fast forward to checkout I was placing items on the belt and Shirley was moving things in the cart and the brooms fell and crashed into the side of my head. It didn't really hurt, it just scared me. Normally I would have laughed Shirley wasn't laughing and didn't even say sorry or anything. She was scowling and seemed tired and annoyed. It seemed extremely out of character for a Costco employee to accidentally hit a customer on the head and not even bother to say "I'm sorry" or "Are you ok." She also wanted me to take our drinks from the cart and I'm not sure why? We wanted them in the child seat area, but it didn't seem like she did. So we moved them. Anyway, another employee came up at the end of our checkout and seemed to be there to relive Shirley, which maybe she was overtired or hungry or something. It just didn't sit well with me - the broom part. I'm not looking to get anything from this, not even an apology or response are necessary. I just think Shirley could stand to be reminded that if you hit someone (fellow employee OR customer) on the head (even accidentally) its polite to apologize! We love Costco and this was the only even remotely "bad" thing that's ever happened in my 31 years of attendance. Thanks for reading and for being a great place to shop!

Costco driver complaint

Today at around 11:30 there was a driver driving a Semi Truck with Costco's name on it He was driving in the center lane causing very much traffic behind him. Most the cars were having to pass him on the right to get passed. When I turned to look at him he put his middle finger up at me. This was on highway 5 South at around 11:30 am near Stockton. The Truck # was CW149. The numbers on the trailer were 172325.

Costco hiring process

I am a customer at Costco and heard good things about working there.I applied 4 times over the past 2 years and was called for an interview. The interviewer was Anthony from the bakery dept who was accompanied by another manager. I answered all the questions he had for me and then Anthony Anthony told me I was the only one who called back but someone that day had finally called back. He said he wasn't going to be able to interview him until the following Tuesday because he was going on vacation. He told me that I would receive a call around Wednesday Thursday for a second interview and if I impressed this person I would do a drug test and I would be in. So the following Wednesday, Thursday comes and no call, I though maybe I missed a call or something or maybe I was supposed to call him on Wednesday so I called to talk to Anthony but the person told me after leaving me on hold that he would contact me at his earliest convenience but never got a call back. I called the day after and I was told they would put a note in his box with my name and number but never got a call back. I don't understand why Anthony was avoiding to talk to me. I understand they probably went with someone else but why couldn't I get a call back. I felt very disrespected and think it was very unprofessional for a manager to act in such a way.I was a member but will not be anymore and will never apply for a job here again. I am a military veteran and know good leadership and it don't seem like they got the right leadership in manager /hiring positions because if I or any leader was in anthonies place they would have called me back or took my call when he was supposedly busy. This happened in the south loop warehouse and was wondering how I could contact the shift manager/supervisor or upper management who could let me know why I was told that I would get a call after anthonies vacation and why i could not speak with Anthony to find out what was going on so I could stop waiting for a second interview call.

Costco customer service

I was at the store at Newmarket/Canada/ontario in and yonge street and green lane, around 750pm I came just to buy a laptop I wrote the code and ram to the cashier to pay noticing that it was at least 5 to 6 shopping carts per register, so I went to the helper of one of the cashier and asked him if he can help me out just to make me through and pay just this one item? So he told me to go to a front desk just behind the registers and pay there because at the same desk is where I'm gonna claim my item in this case my laptop, so I went there the Lady said NO she told me to go back and make a line and pay at the regular cashier ( she didn't want to hear me just stop me for saying what she knew I need it and sent me back ), so in my way to the register I saw a gentlemen he looks like a supervisor his name is Jeff, I told him about been in a rush my kids are with my wife in the car I just need to pay one item and he answered me telling me to go and make a line an pay ? .. I said yes I just need your help to leave quick is just one item?.. And he told me again yes just make you line and pay?.. So he tried me like and ##### to a point that I asking did you understand what I'm trying to say? .. I want to pay my only item I just but I don't want to stay 15 or 20 minutes just making a line ?.. Im sure you may ask another costumer to let me in or something, And he repeat just go and make a line I'm sure they are going to move pretty quick?
People were looking at me shaking their heads and calling me to let me trough because now they can see this guys Jeff is a joke or probably my accent trigger something on him I honestly don't know, at the end I left pretty disappointed, and humiliated ..and honestly realized that Costco doesn't care about their customers .. I been shopping at Costco my whole life for my house and my business but for now on I may have to think about driving more and go to a few places before I go back to that store ..

Costco tires

Dear customer service,
On Jan 29, 2017 report to costco clubhouse #470 tire service center in san jose ca to get a flat tire repair however, one of the sale associate of name Tony refused to take a repair order, then another supervisor Ian denied taking the order as well claiming that they have other jobs more important such as selling complete set of tires. I asked for upper manager within this department and they refused to let me talk to one. I told both of these gentlemen that I will file a complain and I left the department, as I was leaving I came across person name Floyd who happens to be the upper manager for this department I told him about my situation with the tire and again he didn't want to take the order nor approve for me to take the car elsewhere to get tire repair done. Since this is the first time I need a repair from Costco and they refused to honer it I'm demanding full refund of my tires so that I can go elsewhere, where they can honer their warranty and to replace the tires.
Your immediately action is required.
Best regards,
Pascual Cardenas

Costco delivery service

I love costco! Do most of my shopping there for years. All my family shops at Costco. I needed a desk for my office at home so this time I decided to shop online. Ordered it and the nightmare started.

UPS has such poor reputation and it's a shame that Costco online uses UPS for their delivery services.

Terrible Service! They don't provide a window for the customer to know when they should stay home for the package to arrive. They say it could be any time during the day until 7 pm and if you are not happy come all the way to Delta to pick up the package! Their depot in Delta is three cities away from where I live.

Today stayed home all day, didn't go to work just for them to deliver my package. When the delivery guy finally arrived, he asked me to go downstairs to help him and was offended when I said I have a bad back and if I wanted to pick up a 70 lb package, I wouldn't have ordered it to be delivered to me. He said, well we are not supposed to do this...
Really? Isn't that the job of a delivery man?

So rude! So lazy! Such a terrible service!
I will never ever order anything that's delivered by UPS!

Costco kirkland 312 hearing aid batteries 48 pack

These batteries come as 6 8-battery blister packs on a large card. It is very difficult to get batteries 2 thru 8 out of the newly introduced packaging. It appears that the "wheel" containing the batteries on each card should turn, but it does not. The packaging just falls apart. If you put the loose batteries in a container after this has happened, they go dead. This is a very poor packaging design. The batteries themselves are fine. The old packaging was much easier to deal with.

Costco customer service

After shopping with my 69 year old mother this evening, prior to leaving the store, she read her receipt and relized that she has been double charged for a product. We were advised by an employee to see the front end supervisor-dennis s. (Store # 1147 3900 dublin st. New orleans, la). We we approached by dennis, he looked at my mother and asked, "what do you want? " my mother proceeded to tell him that she was instructed to see him about the over charge. He said, " oh yeah?" he then called over another associate and she asked how could she be of assistance? Dennis responded, "yeah, whatever it is they want". I asked, excuse me? He stated once again, "whatever they want". And he looked at us and walked off. I'm so upset right now that i'm literally shaking as I type this. Myself, my mom, and sister frequently shop at costco. I have never felt so disrespected in my life. I work hard and spend my hard earned money in your store, I expect to be treated as a human being. We have been members since this location opened in 2013. I cannot speak for my mother, but I will definitely not be renewing my membership. I will take my money where it's appreciated.

Costco whole pizza pickup procedure

I am regularly buying a whole pizza from costco for my kids lunch. I put the order an hour before at Costco(15205) while picking pizza they keep me intentionally waiting for 5 to 10 minutes more near pickup point. I can see my pizza is ready. I told them once but they ignore it purposefully. I feel embarrassed and hesitation now to order a whole pizza.

Costco lack of customer communication

I had bought and ordered new tires for my car. I went to get them installed and was told they were running a bit behind and that the service would take about an hour and half with other backed up repairs. As hour 3 rolled around I finally went up to the service desk to find out my car had been ready for over an hour. I was never called as they said they would. It turns out the person checking me in punched it in incorrectly, a "5" instead of a "9". A simple clerical error that wasted an hour and a half. That is absurd.

Costco brookfield, ct warehouse - returns desk customer service

I have been a Costco member for +13 years. Even after moving from Seattle where I was intimate with the Company's headquarters and management, to New York City, we stayed loyal and also are often telling our city friends with small apartments to give Costco a chance. I'm an executive member and spend quite a lot annual. Our most recent rewards check was $211.

We recently began shopping at the Brookfield, CT store after getting a weekend house in the area. After shopping on our way back to the city, we discovered when we got home that 5 different produce items we bought were covered with mold and inedible. Before throwing them away, I called the warehouse and the woman who answered talked over the situation with me. I explained that because we live in NYC and not near the warehouse, I didn't want to hold on to the moldy produce for 2 weeks until we could get back there. She said it was fine for us to throw it all away and just explain the situation to the returns desk when we returned. She was very friendly and helpful. I took photos to have evidence of the bad produce (dated the same date as the sale) to be sure.

Two weeks later (on Jan 22nd, 2017), I showed up to shop again and started at the returns desk, showing my receipt and explaining the situation with the moldy produce and that I'd agreed with the employee who'd taken my call we could throw it away. The woman at the returns desk (Annette) was immediately suspicious and condescending to me. She said it was against the policy and I needed to come back with at least half the bad product. She put me right on the defensive, even though I felt I'd done only what I'd agreed to on the phone with the employee. She called over her supervisor, who reiterated the same policy and asked to know who I'd spoken to. I didn't get that person's name, and admitted this to them. I was so surprised to be given such a hard time. The supervisor (whose name I did not get, but who was a big guy w facial hair and wearing a Patriots jersey) said he would be willing to make a heavily emphasized "ONE TIME EXCEPTION" for me even though it was contrary to policy but that I really needed to save the bad product in the future. This entire time, they never once apologized for the situation or expressed any disappointment I'd bought bad product and had to spend time returnign it. And, this whole time, my three young children are looking at me with a questioning look wondering why I'm being talked to so rudely.

So, at that point, I said to Annette, I think it would be better if you apologized for selling me bad product rather than giving me such a hard time for having to return it. Annette then smiled with a smirk on her face to give me the impression I was now being unreasonable and so I could not help but to ask her why she was smiling. She responded only by saying "I'm not doing anything but going about to give you the refund YOU requested" - again to imply I was asking for something unreasonable.

I have never once abused the generous Costco returns policy. I know the Company's policies well...including its emphasis on customer service and accepting returns without asking questions. I understand I may have not done the return how you're normal protocol works, but I had cleared it with an employee of that same warehouse before I acted. I could not believe how rudely I was treated. And the supervisor stood there behind Annette the whole time and said not one more word once she began to process the return. Neither of them once apologized for selling me fruit that when opened was covered with mold. Neither of them reviewed my member profile to see how much I spend and how I never request returns. Both gave me the worst impression of customer service than I've had in a very long time.

On the way home, my husband I talked about what to do about this. I did complain in person to another supervisor while on site, and he apologized nicely and said he would speak to Annette. But I still left feeling frustrated and quite honestly SAD. My husband was ready to give up on our regular shopping trips to Costco just because of the bad produce. But, I insisted we give them a chance to smooth it over. And then I was faced with this terrible service.

For the first time, I am contemplating whether it makes sense to continue as a regular shopper. I love the Company, I love its management, its board and what it stands for. But, if the product is not good, and the service is terrible - what is the point of being loyal? At least to the warehouses in this area. I know I would never have faced this service in Issaquah or Seattle where I shopped for 10 years.

Today, there are SO many alternatives to shopping. Amazon is the obvious competitor, but there are others - Boxed Wholesale, Jet, Fresh Direct, Pea Pod, just to name a few! I am tempted to increase my share of wallet to these companies. I've already started to use Fresh Direct because of the convenience of groceries delivered to my door. And, when they've delivered produce that is other than what I'd select myself - they refund me immediately - no questions asked - with a sincere apology.

To continue to hold on to your loyal member base broadly and my own membership, which is up for renewal in February, I hope you will reflect on this feedback and take it seriously. I was so disappointed, rather than write a public review, I am sharing this with you directly.

Costco i am filing a complaint about costco's policy of needing to show a driver's license for the purpose of viewing jewelry!

On Saturday, January 22nd, 2017 (approx 2 PM), I visited the Kirkland, WA Costco Store. I went to the Jewelry Department to inquire on who I should see on submitting one of my wife's ring to have repair work performed on a missing diamond on the band. The service gentleman (Rick) firmly stated that I needed to go to returns to submit my ring for repair. From there I wanted to first see some rings first before leaving as I was very interested to purchasing a ring for an upcoming anniversary. I was able to view a couple of rings valued between $2000 t $4000. Next I wanted to see a Baguette Diamond Ring priced at $4999.99. I was immediately asked to provide a driver's licence. Also he stated that he could not open the case without having a manager present. As a long valued Costco Customer, I was so appalled and have never felt so humiliated by this. I was so upset that I went straight to the store's manager that day (Nick) and complained about this kind of policy that I've not seen practiced at any of the Costco Stores in Northern California. My suggestion to you; do not sell fine jewelry in any of your Washington Stores if you are going to treat customers in this fashion. My wife and I have purchased very nice Diamond Jewelry from ShanCo; we are always treated very well with excellent service; they never ever ask for any IDs just for the purpose of handling jewelry priced on the high side. FYI, I'm never buying Jewelry from Costco because of how I was treated that day ... EVER!

Costco Gas station

This morning I decided to fill my tank at the Hawthorne Business Center. There are three one way lanes to choose from. There were three trucks getting gas at the last station and one truck was parked at an angle that blocked the flow of traffic. All three trucks blocked the flow of traffic but the truck at the far end had a wide lane and could have allowed the flow of traffic if he was parked correctly. So I drove around to the front and parked at a gas dispenser I n front of one of the trucks. A lady attendant came over and told me I needed to turn around and face the opposite direction. I told her I couldn't get through because of the trucks and that Is why I had parked that way. She told me again I needed to move. I understood because I was facing the opposite direction and I was proceeding to turn around when I noticed she was standing there watching me move. She did not go over the truck driver and tell him to move because HE was blocking the flow of traffic. SHE only told me to move. She continued to stand there watching me and said NOTHING to the truck driver who was blocking traffic. She called over to another man- a supervisor I assume who was standing by the truck driver blocking traffic and having a friendly conversation ( not about moving) and explained why I had parked there. He just threw up his hands in an "Oh well" gesture. I'm upset that I was told to move and NOTHING was said to the truck driver blocking the lanes. They allowed him to fill his tank and block traffic. After I saw that discrimination, I canceled my credit for the gas and I'll never buy gas from Costco again.

Costco kirkland baby wipes

We were happy with 900 count cotton baby wipes for almost about over an year now, recently we see at least 10 to 15 wipes in each 100 pack pouch which feels like nylon and their fiber strands stick to the baby during cleaning. Not only do those nylon wipes are useless but frustrating due to double cleanup effort.
Absolutely disgusting to see Costco cutting corners on a baby product! Can you please live up to the product advertising Costco?

Costco Solar yard lighting

I purchased 24, better quality, solar yard lights. These were not the cheap ones that cost a few dollars each, but a much nicer product. I installed the lights in a fully sun lighted area in my yard and they worked well... but only for about 6 months. The lights grew dimmer and dimmer over the next month or 2 and eventually only stayed lit for a couple hours in the evening.

I checked the warranty and its was good for 12 months, so I called the manufacturer and they told me there was nothing they could do and would not honor their written warranty. At this point I was very upset and there was no way to get the product working.

The manufacturer suggested replacing the batteries because this is usually what fails. I asked them to send me new batteries, but they said they could not send them through the mail... so I again... nothing could be done to fix the problem.

I went out on a limb and purchased the "not so cheap" replacement, rechargeable batteries, hoping this would solve the problem. It did not, the solar charging cells must have been worn out and not able to completely charge the batteries.

I then took the lights back to Costco for a refund and they would not honor the warranty either. I was missing some of the stakes, but that is not the point. The stakes are not the problem. I liked the lights and the way they worked when I bought them, there should be no need to return anything if a product is defective.

In the end, I got screwed out of about $120 from the manufacturer... and sorry to say... also from Costco. This is not my typical experience from a Costco buying experience. I purchase, numerous, thousand of dollars a year at Costco... and this is how they treat me NOW?

I did talk to the manager on duty and he simply would not do anything to help my situation. As a long term (30 years) customer, I believe this was a error on part of the manager and at least a problem with the return policy which CLEARLY STATES I HAVE A 1 YEAR WARRANTY.

I expect more from Costco and don't think this is the right way to treat a loyal customer. Hopefully Costco will read this and respond with a positive resolution.

Our local Costco store is in Largo, Florida at Gulf to Bay and Highway 19

Costco Kirkland signature two ply toilet paper

Major problem with the toilet paper. We have lived in our home a few years and never had a problem with our plumbing system. We switched to this brand in December of 2016 and almost immediately had problems with clogging. This led to two major backups in our system (We are on municipal sewer.) We were able to snake the outfall pipe ourselves the first time, but the most recent clog (1/19/2017) completely flooded our downstairs with sewage. Carpet and office soaked with backed up sewage. Looked like a horror movie. This took many hours of cleaning, caused me to be unable to work for the day, and also cost over $700 in carpet damage and plumber fees. We still are not done with these fees. The plumber checked our outfall line and stated there was no problems with it. My wife asked if it could be the toilet paper and he said " Not unless it's the Costco brand" He said he has seen many homes having problems once they switch to this TP as it doesn't break down properly. We have called to complain to Costco (reference # ML 4737935) and expect a full refund of all our damages. I can provide photos and receipts if needed. customer # [protected]

Costco rude staff

Yesterday I went to the Estero location Costco with a friend of mine as her guest. I was looking for a particular bottle of wine that I guess they don't carry anymore, which was fine. I found another one I wanted to try and made my way up to the register. Little did I know, guests can only purchase items with cash and when I told the person ringing my item up that I did not have cash, he then proceeded to say that he wasn't really allowed to let me purchase alcohol anyway since I am a guest (he made it seem like he was being so nice and doing me a favor by letting this one chance slide... which I thought was rude and kind of condescending). I then told him to cancel the purchase and as my friend and I were getting ready to walk away he didn't even apologize, but turned to me and said "good choice of wine, it's really good"... Seriously? Well, guess I'll never know how good it was.

I guess Costco doesn't want to make new members. I will never go back.

Suddenly awhile back they were replaced with a hard, crusty pastry filled with fruit. I'm so disappointed! They are terrible! I never buy them anymore! Why in the world would you replace the most wonderful, scrumptios pastry for an inferior product?
