Costco evening employee here:
Yeah, we check those at closing time. As well as behind the mattresses, the bathrooms and anywhere else someone might reasonably hide. There are generally people stocking stuff for 3-4 hours after the store closes and from 5 hours before the store opens in the morning.
There's a small window when the place is completely empty, but it's only from about midnight to 4am.
How about in the rafters? Can you guys even physically check up there? I'm just asking for a friend.
We don''t check there, as we can literally look up into the rafters. But we do have the tools to physically check if we need to.
They have those electric lift things. They can check up there.
I don't know their proper names. We just called them scissor lifts
Edit: apparently that is their proper name.
There are scissor lifts and there are cherry pickers and both are called that officially.
And if you want to be a nerd, a MEWP
Mobile elevated work platforms! I prefer MEWP because I can call out "MEWP!" as I point at one and my coworkers can start MEWPing along with me like a clutch of hungry chicks.
We take work seriously.
Manlift, cherry picker, scissor lift
