Costco review: rude/uninformed cashier ( 1 comment)

I was checking out and had forgotten my membership has expired last month, I had made it all out & left it at home as we are given a reward coupon good for your membership. I only had enough cash with me for my purchases I believed not to pay the full amount for the renewal and my goods. The cashier was rude and unaccommodating to my dilemma, she said either I pay or she cannot let me shop, end of story. I left the cash register and went to the customer service desk and they of course had a solution (we drove over 100 miles)-she did have 1 solution-just go back home & get your coupon! The desk clerk told me to tell her not to remove my stuff, she was fixing me up with a AMEX card, etc, which did take some time, in the mean time another lady came & whisked all our stuff off the belt "I can't have my register just sitting here" she told my friend & that they would have to take me down & I would lose my membership & all kinds of misinformation. When we got that taken care of & went to another lane to check out the next cashier even though nice told me I could have separate receipts but really they were only allowed to do 2 not 4! I am paying to shop at this store! If I want 100 receipts I should be able to get it! I am what keeps this place going THE CUSTOMER. It is ridiculous. This was the first time my friend was in the store, doubt if she ever wants to return again, not a good first impression. Not very well trained cashiers, she didn't even know or just didn't want to tell me I can at a later date bring in my rewards coupon & they will cash it out. She didn't tell me or didn't know I could open the AMEX card & still make my purchases, no it was just get through here & get on with MY JOB because I am the MOST IMPORTANT THING HERE LADY. It is a stupid cashier job, not a life saving surgery or something! What a disappointment this day.
