Grocery shopping is something everyone needs to do, despite how stressful and annoying it can be, and how much of a burden it is on your schedule. It takes a lot of time, it forces you to spend your money, and dealing with the crowds is never fun. Depending on where you go and where you shop will determine how the experience is for you. Going early in the morning or late at night will likely help you navigate the store better, but not everyone has that as an option. When it comes to shopping in Colorado, which stores have the worst customers, and what makes them so bad?

People's common sense seems to stop working, and their brains appear to turn off when many customers go into Costco. Far too often people stop in front of the entrance, blocking others from getting in, walk down the middle of the aisle and block other shoppers from getting around, stand in front of the free samples and use the cart as a table so others can't get any, turn carts and block entire items or rows, and often act like others aren't in the store. Is it entitlement? Is it being overwhelmed by the deals and the selection? Is it conversing with the nice employees? Whatever it is, Costco is a frustrating store to shop at.
