Conquer Costco with Your Crew: A Guide to Guest Guests and Guest-ure (Well, Not Really)
So, you've snagged a coveted Costco membership, the holy grail of bulk buys and warehouse wonders. You're itching to grab a shopping cart the size of a small Smart car and fill it with enough toilet paper to last a zombie apocalypse. But here's the thing: Costco, like a bouncer at an exclusive club for deep discounts, has a guest policy. Fear not, intrepid shopper! We're here to crack the code on Costco's guest game.
How Many Posse Members Can I Bring, Dude?
Here's the nitty-gritty: according to Costco's official decree (a.k.a. their membership terms), you can bring two guests with you on your shopping adventures. Think of them as your wingmen (or women) in the bulk-buying battlefield.
But Wait, There's More! The Not-So-Fine Print on Guests
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
- The All-Powerful Cardholder: Remember, only the member with the card can actually purchase items at checkout. So, if your awesome shopping buddy has their eye on that 50-pound bag of gummy bears, you better be prepared to pony up the cash (or they'll need to score their own membership, nudge nudge).
- The Age-Old Question: Are Kids Guests? Technically, no! Costco doesn't count your adorable (or hangry) offspring as part of the two-guest limit. This loophole might be tempting, but wrangling a pack of sugar-fueled toddlers through a warehouse full of enticing samples is an adventure best left to the truly brave.

So, You and Two Buddies Ready to Roll?
Fantastic! Just remember, with great shopping power comes great responsibility. Here are some guest-etiquette must-dos:
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
- Don't be a Sample Hog: There's enough free food to tempt even the most virtuous shopper. But be mindful, share the bounty, and avoid resembling a human chipmunk.
- Respect the Warehouse Flow: Costco is a well-oiled machine, with aisles designed for maximum bulk-buying efficiency. Don't be that person who stops dead in the middle to debate the merits of the giant jar of pickles, blocking the flow of traffic.
- Mind Your Manners: It's a jungle out there (well, a warehouse), but basic courtesy goes a long way. Be polite to fellow shoppers and staff, and you'll ensure a smooth and enjoyable Costco experience for everyone.
Bonus Tip: If you're feeling extra generous, you can always snag a guest membership for a friend or family member. Just remember, with great Costco power comes great responsibility...to share the epic deals, of course!
