Costco, the famous department store chain, is well known for offering wholesale products at low prices. However, many of its customers are struck by the fact that none of its branches offer bags or boxes to carry the products they purchased.
Luckily, Costco has an explanation on their website.
The explanation that Costco gives on its official website is that the warehouse chain is committed to providing customers with the best products on the market at the lowest price they can offer.
To be able to do this, Costco must cut costs that other more traditional businesses, like supermarkets, have. And here are the bags.
In addition to the bags contributing to more waste, they also cause stores to have higher operating costs, which translate into higher prices for customers.
Given this situation, the best thing customers can do is buy reusable bags to carry their purchases, or take boxes if this is easier for them.
