7. Don't worry, the computer turned your $100 into $200 with their donation.

I was in the store with my kid, and I thought we had to go to Customer Service. The clerk was new and barely clued into the process, bit got it done. They didn't mention the doubling.

Then I went to check out a while later. There was an experienced clerk who told me if I donated $10, that COSTCO would add $10. And if I donated $100, COSTCO would add $100.

So you really did more than you thought you did! I'm glad you did it. And I do like the atmosphere there and it's a real experience shopping there, just like a world market. So many people happy to be there, many of them from overseas. O find the customers as nice as the help.

KnR. I made our donation through Costco. Hekate Nov 2012 #1

My COSTCO told me they were doubling the donation with no limit. So you gave twice what you thought. freshwest Nov 2012 #3

I had no idea -- the clerk had to be told how to ring it up Hekate Nov 2012 #5
