What a crock of crap:

"Costco
Ever wondered why your receipt is checked at the door? We make sure you have everything you bought, confirm you weren't charged twice, and we want to thank you for your business."

They really care if I was charged twice. But in all fairness, can't argue with discount warehouses receipt checking practice. In paying for a membership for the special privilege of joining these fine clubs, you also sign away your rights.

I agree that is a crock of crap, but yesterday they did notice we didn't recieve a discount on some chicken thing. Apparenlty it was a known issue, so they were looking for it.

It's all about Costco for us. Great food, good products, good prices, good service. We ordered a new computer from them online and got great service and a great price. Very, very happy. And for those riled up about receipt checking, what about the security gates at every other store?

...And FWIW Costco just got top marks in a consumer poll on top retailers. So they must be doing something right!

bought an HP laptop in Dec 09. Came with 1 year MFG warranty, costco adds a 2nd year and because i used my AMEX i got a 3rd year.

in year 2 they replaced the screen and now in 3rd year i'm about to open a ticket for a battery issue.

I might have mentioned it, but we first bought an HP from Best Buy and it went back literally two hours later. Pretty sad. The keyboard on the laptop was not working. We won't buy HP ever again. Went with Dell this time. Very happy.

I've noticed that if they see bigger ticket items in your cart, they check the receipt a lot closer. I don't have any problems with this especially with the lower prices on some things and as gmcunni mentioned, the extended warranty you also get.
