Requesting items at a Costco? (lemmy.world)

Has anyone had any luck requesting items?

I normally shop at a Costco near my home but my family resides in another part of our state and they go to a different one. I've noticed that their Costco gets way cooler items (jagarico, black thunder candy, like air puffcorn, etc) and I'm tempted to try and request some of them. How do I get these at my store?

I tried several times, and I only received two types of answers.

They have some stock in the specified warehouse, and I need to search for them harder
They acknowledged me that the warehouse stopped buying them

Anyway, I don't think they would consider the item request. They didn't even pretend to listen to these feedbacks.

I’ve always been told I can request things I don’t see but have never tried. I wish they sold the cilantro lime crema year-round at my store.

I don't know what any of that is, but wish my Costco carried them.

What is it about anonymity that makes people want to be jerks on the internet? Like, if a coworker, friend or hell a random you're chatting with asked an innocuous question like this, would your response really be to belittle the treats they asked about? Is it a repressed anger thing? Like, you want to be a jerk but in real life people might get annoyed? Or you don't really have that many folks in your life? Is it just "there's no consequences so I can finally unleash that inner asshole I'm always restraining?"

Maybe there's just always been this angry pathetic group and the internet just makes you more visible. Maybe somethings going terribly wrong in your life and this is your valve.

Regardless, if you're going to be a jerk, have you considered going back to reddit instead of making Lemmy less awesome?

Was it about the corn? My instant thought was disgusting while reading but didn't care to comment until I saw your rant to a non existing comment.
