I looked up why Costco has that policy, and their stated reason is to be a second factor checking that the cashier correctly counted all items. They say they don't want to overcharge customers, but it probably goes both ways. It'd be interesting to hear from a Costco employee about what they're told to look for during training. (I'm not the parent, and this doesn't answer your question).
- runjake 4y agoFrom /r/Costco comments, they're trained that it's a loss prevention technique. The phrase "a second factor checking that the cashier correctly counted all items" is just a nicer way of saying "for loss prevention". And technically, the statement is correct, insider loss prevention is a widespread issue.
