Craving Costco Cash? Age Ain't Nothing But a Number (Unless It Actually Is)
So, you've got a hankering for churros the size of your head and a Costco membership that practically pays for itself with the bulk discounts on, well, everything. But before you can snag that coveted employee badge and score a discount on that rotisserie chicken mountain, there's one burning question: how old do you gotta be to work at Costco Canada?
The Age-Old Question (See What We Did There?)
Fear not, fellow friend of free samples! The minimum age requirement to work at Costco Canada is 18 years old. That's right, just like you have to be an adult to buy a giant vat of mayonnaise (because, let's be honest, who needs that much judgement?), you gotta be an adult to stock the shelves that hold it.
But hey, 18 isn't that old! Think about it, you've probably been navigating the treacherous waters of high school for a while now, this Costco gig will be a walk in the park (minus the actual park, Costco has warehouses, not playgrounds).
Totally Tubular Trivia (Because Why Not?)
Here's a little-known Costco fact to impress your friends (or at least distract them from the existential dread of needing a job): Costco was actually co-founded by a guy named Sol Price. Sol Price? More like Soul Purpose, amirite? Okay, maybe we should lay off the puns... but seriously, Sol Price had a vision, and that vision included you (well, you as an 18-year-old with dreams of bulk bargains).
So You Wanna Be a Costco Employee?
Hold on to your hats (or in this case, giant industrial-sized boxes)! If you're 18 or over and eager to sling samples and conquer the world of warehouse retail, here's the real nitty-gritty:
- Head over to the Costco Canada careers website [Costco Canada Careers] and browse the open positions.
- Brush up that resume and write a killer cover letter highlighting your skills (even if those skills mostly involve wrestling hungry shoppers away from the last discounted TV).
- Ace the interview (be prepared to talk about your love for Costco and, more importantly, your ability to lift heavy things).
And then, my friend, the world of Costco awaits! A world of endless aisles, friendly competition over the last rotisserie chicken, and enough free samples to fill you with the spirit of capitalism (and maybe a slight heartburn).
