  On a mission to buy medication for my dog. Made purchase without difficulty. Part of the Costco experience is window shopping and making that impulse purchase. And so it was with that really nice leather chair. I have been lusting for one of these. I identified my target item, only to realize there is no price tag displayed. Now all Costco shoppers have come to identify the price from a paper tag displayed over the item. None to be seen. So I checked with member services. I explained my question and this is what I was told. "We only put price tags on the display item and then we scatter the rest around the warehouse". Huh? Never encountered this process before. Seems like a weird marketing scheme. The customer has to go on a treasure hunt seeking the display item to find the price and then go on a quest to find the non-display item to load up and purchase. A new concept in marketing. Make the customer go into a shopping frenzy looking for that leather chair. Glazed over eyes tongue hanging out in anticipation of riding this leather chariot to my living room. I found the whole thing non-Costco and slightly anti-customer. It's kind of obstruction marketing. Is the idea that you will appreciate the chair more if you had to work for it. I had a couple of dates like that in high school. A little miffed I got a swirl yogurt. I didn't have to chase it and the price was prominently displayed. In the future my shopping mantra will be 'AMAZON'!
