A person claiming to be a former Costco employee wrote on the store’s unofficial page: r/Costco.
“I worked at Costco about ten years ago,” they wrote.
“I’ll never forget it – one guy brought back his extremely used chicken coop for return.”
They said the animal’s return to the cage stuck in their mind a decade later for an unsanitary reason.
“It was covered in shit,” they wrote.
The employee claimed the store allowed the return but immediately threw away the item.
They called the experience “savage.”
Dozens of commenters joked about the customer’s motivation for returning the chicken coop.
“I don’t need this anymore. I ate the chicken,” one person wrote, cosplaying the now chicken-less customer.
“Recipe for using refund money to buy a Costco Rotisserie Chicken,” another commenter wrote in a similar joking tone.
