Found a picture of OP:
The Sticky Bandits, lol!
perfect
Costco evening employee here:
Yeah, we check those at closing time. As well as behind the mattresses, the bathrooms and anywhere else someone might reasonably hide. There are generally people stocking stuff for 3-4 hours after the store closes and from 5 hours before the store opens in the morning.
There’s a small window when the place is completely empty, but it’s only from about midnight to 4am.
How about in the rafters? Can you guys even physically check up there? I’m just asking for a friend.
We don’'t check there, as we can literally look up into the rafters. But we do have the tools to physically check if we need to.
They have those electric lift things. They can check up there.
I don’t know their proper names. We just called them scissor lifts
Edit: apparently that is their proper name.
There are scissor lifts and there are cherry pickers and both are called that officially.
And if you want to be a nerd, a MEWP
Manlift, cherry picker, scissor lift
You can get away with it if you cling to the ceiling Splinter Cell style when they check it for the night. Nobody looks up.
They even wrote a whole movie celebrating it! I believe it was called “Avoid Turning Your Gaze Skyward” or something like that…
Yes, they check that kind of thing
It’s possible. It happened frequently enough at IKEA that it became an internet meme/challenge and they had to start prosecuting people who did it.
The general store employees have a big “not my job” attitude about it. If it’s time to clock out, it’s your problem that you’re still in the store after closing. Not likely to confront you about it unless you are wandering the aisles.
Cleaning staff will probably tell someone if they find you hiding out.
Security guards will be actively looking for you and also search in obvious places like tents and sheds that are set up indoors, as well as behind shelving units, in the backrooms, etc.
That thing is one bathroom away from becoming a 240,000 dollar tiny house
Challenge accepted!
Later:
24 HOUR OVERNIGHT CHALLENGE IN HOME DEPOT!!
24 HOUR OVERNIGHT
…how far north of the Arctic Circle IS this Home Depot? 🤔
“The store is now closed, please exit the building.”
It’s funny the amount of people thinking this is a hardware store, I would recognize those aisles and ceilings anywhere. That’s a Costco (the particular style of price plate also gives it away)
The /r/Costco screenshot is also a good indicator
Nah, that’s just a double bluff 😉
No no, definitely not, reddit doesn’t stay consistent (シ_ _)シ
I’ve also been seriously considering that shed for a few weeks…
I read a couple of very fun children’s books based on that premise when I was a kid.
Likely not. If it weren’t for the proximity sensors and contact sensors on the doors we’d never know when the mother-in-law escapes.
Easy molly raid.
Probably not and nobody would care frankly
Lol, dystopia, and not being allowed to exist.
