Free Wi-Fi at Costco

Sam’s has it AND a shopping cart on their app that you can check out with… Bypass all the checkout lines.
R U Reading Costco?

I don’t know what it’s like from Warehouse to Warehouse but they don’t even give employees access to the WiFi. I know Seniors that have been turned down access to the WiFi which I think is ridiculous.

They literally have a book in the front IF THERE ARE ANY DEALS. Any warehouse deals you won’t find in the app because it’s specific to that warehouse aka treasure hunt

Get better cell service.

So customers can’t compare prices.

Costco doesn’t spend the money like other stores so they can pass the savings on to customers.

Could you imagine how worse the cart traffic would get if people were staring at their cellphones? Lol I already have to worry about people who blast thru the end of their aisle while I’m walking thru the main way. And they aren’t even looking at a cellphone.

This gets me on another point tho, there should be yield signs at the end of aisles. Lol I’m more worried about that than wifi

What the hell do you need WiFi for at Costco? It’s not a hangout spot, and I’m saying this as someone who had to use their phone’s cell service to fulfill Instacart orders.

My wife works for Costco. And I always thought the reason they never had WiFi was they use there money to give everybody health insurance, a good one too!

A lot of people can’t sign in on the app to pull up their digital card. I’m sure Costco will be working on something, as it’s affecting productivity.

STFU whiner. Boo fucking hoo…

Who sits in Costco and has time to surf? I’m in and out asap. Entitled shit here.

Get a new carrier?

I do not do anything IT related but implementing a second network would be incredibly expensive. That would bring the costs of products up for the few that have a shitty carrier.

We already have WiFi in all areas of the warehouse including inside of the big box coolers, deli, meat department, etc. though it is obviously not for members use.

At my Costco ATT is slowww even outside in my car. Luckily I have iPhone 12 Pro and I have access to T-Mobile network via an eSIM it works ok just I have a limit on my data on that line. I don’t if it because ATT is crowded or what. I don’t have a problem at Target less than a block away. I stay off of public wifi and when I do it’s VPN time.

Hackers could log onto the wifi and access peoples phones if they wanted.

I have phone service, good on free wifi.

Sounds like a good way to fill up the parking lot with RVs and vanlifers.

Why? So you can Google reviews and price compare and realize that not everything is the cheapest at Costco. Also, they’re not sophisticated to use standard free store Wi-Fi to track and monetize your data like the other big chains.

This is why you don’t use apps.

Think of how many WiFi extenders they would need! They’d have to carry better WiFi extenders to make this possible.

Why not make it a subscription like everything else is turning into these days?
