COSTCO members have been left furious after the chain has added a fresh new food court item – but only in Canada.
The new sushi in the food court has left fans amazed – especially as it is reportedly made with real crab.
One Costco member took to Instagram to share her find.
User @Sopheats captioned her video: “BETWEEN THE COSTCO PIZZA AND THE COSTCO COOKIE, THERE IS SUSHI?
“Anyone can order from the food court, you don’t need a costco card.
“I was pretty excited to see this because I don’t like greasy or fried food so sushi is the option I’d go for.”
She told viewers how eight “huge” pieces of delicious sushi were priced at only $9.99.
The influencer also shared how each roll comes with real cab, avocado and cucumber.
The post has accumulated nearly 50,000 likes and loads of comments from fellow Costco shoppers.
But the catch of the bargain sushi is that it’s apparently only available in Canada – leaving shoppers devastated.
One user said: “Wish they have it at my local Costco.”
Upon finding out the sushi is in Canada, a happy Costco shopper commented: “Omg yes my day has been made!”
It comes as Costco’s chief financial officer has claimed there has been no significant reaction to the membership price increases.
Gary Millerchip’s comments come after a number of disgruntled shoppers voiced concerns over the rising cost last month with some even declaring they won’t be renewing their Costco membership.
Costco fans were left fuming after the chain introduced an increase in its membership fees for the first time in seven years on September 1.
Fees rose from $60 to $65 with the Executive Membership also increasing from $120 to $130 a year.
CFO and Executive Vice President Millerchip defended the price hike when asked about it at the end of last month on an earnings call.
He said: “We were very deliberate in delaying the increase until we felt that we started to see inflation dissipate and our members were spending more in nonfood categories seeing that they were coming through the inflationary period.
“I think there’s been a recognition that in the context of what’s happened ore broadly over the last seven years we stayed true to our principles of really trying to help the member and deliver the value.”
And an angry Costco member has blasted the retail chain for for its “pointless” checkout policy online.
The irate man took to social media platform X (formally Twitter) to beg the chain for change.
He wrote: “Dear Costco and Sams Club – It p***es me off every time I shop that I have to stand in line to check out and and then stand in line to again for my receipt to be checked after I just left the checkout line.
“This is absolutely pointless, just like your membership fees!
“It’s time for a change!”
Costco membership sharing guidelines
Costco has strict rules for membership use that shoppers must follow and they've been cracking down on offenders in recent years.
- Primary Member Use: Only the primary cardholder can use this Costco membership card. Sharing it for purchases is not allowed as the photo on the card must match the person using it.
- Household Card: Each primary member can add one free household cardholder who lives at the same address. This person will receive their own membership card and can shop at Costco independently.
- Guest Policy: Members can bring up to two guests per visit to Costco. However, only the member can make purchases. Guests must be accompanied by the member.
- Authorized Cardholder: For an additional fee, you can add an authorized cardholder, such as a family member or friend, who doesn’t reside at your address. They will receive their own card and can shop independently.
