Do You Buy "Adult" Items At Costco or SDM Where There is No Self-Checkout?

So, at Costco and Shoppers, do you ever buy "adult" items in those stores since neither of them have Self-Checkout? Don't you worry about all those people in line staring at your items?

This is especially a problem at Costco where your items are on the conveyor belt for everyone to see for 5 minutes. And then you have the 50 year old lady cashiers judging you. Then, there are no bags at Costco so you are basically waving your items out in the open as you make the long walk out the door through the crowds. And God forbid if there is another line at the Costco exit door and you are carrying your "adult" items in your hands that the security wants to see from your receipt.

I just recently found out that Amazon actually has a very large number of "adult" items sold and shipped by Amazon and think that Amazon must do tons more business of this lucrative high margins segment than both Costco and Shoppers combined because Amazon is much more discreet. Must be the work of Jeff Bezos and all his endless fetishes that Amazon is so well stocked. Search doesn't seem to work for the vast majority of these items, though. Seems like I just stumbled upon some of them. Neither does CCC work well searching for them, they just don't show up unless you have the link or use a related items recommendation link.

Costco has adult items?
Unless you mean condoms in which case who cares? I'm not 12.

SDM at least has the condom manufacturer's toys but even then...

I do buy actual adult stuff on Amazon. There's an entire section of it in the "Health" section.
Do you not have anything else to do rather than argue with strangers on the internet
Nope. That's why I'm on the internet arguing with strangers. If I had anything better to do I'd probably be doing it.

I always buy my gimp suits from Costco. The kirkland brand is good quality and I've never had a problem at the returns counter.

It's a good way to pick up cashiers with your mega pack of Magnum XL condoms.
If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

I've bought alcohol at Costco before. Usually the liquor stores aren't in the main store.

No, but it's not because I'm a prude. It's just:
  1. Amazon has better selection for toys and cheaper batteries
  2. Home Depot has cheaper cotton rope
  3. I have enough PC points for free lube at shoppers
  4. Walmart has cheaper produce
  5. The only things that I need to go to other stores for aren't sold at Costco anyway

Yeah, if you wanted to pickup women the age of your grandma. I find Costco cashiers are all 40, 50, or 60 years old.

That's because most of them have been working there for 20 years because they actually treat their staff well.

I mean... I was playing when I was 12, but you do you.
Or you do whoever, as long as you're using protection.

What about if your grandma works at Costco and sees you?

Let's just say I'm into some weird stuff that probably shouldn't be posted on a family friendly forum....

It's bad enough that it's forever in my purchase history.

She'd probably high five me because I'm having sex.

Condoms are not adult items and all it means is you're taking your sexual health seriously. Nothing to be ashamed of.

In 20 years working at Costco, the old ladies have seen condoms a zillion times. If you're old enough to have sex, then you're old enough to buy condoms without turning red.

Lube is a bit more discrete than condoms when you’re paying.
