Costco Employé UX: It’s the Small Frictions That Stay With You ⚙️


Nothing is clearly broken.

But something feels slightly off.


The Small Things You Start Noticing

You don’t see them immediately.

Then they repeat.

Subtle friction points

  • extra clicks where one should be enough
  • slight delays between actions
  • navigation not fully intuitive

Each one is small.

Together — noticeable.

At some point, I stopped reacting.
