A Taiwanese shopper's Costco experience goes viral after a surprising cart incident.

The American-style retailer, Costco, is a popular destination in Taiwan, beloved for its affordable prices. A recent incident at a Costco store has sparked a lively online discussion. A shopper shared an experience involving a discounted cocoa breakfast cereal. After briefly leaving the cart to pick up milk in the refrigerated section, the shopper returned to find the cereal gone, only to discover an elderly woman (阿嬤) had taken it.

The shopper took to the Facebook group "Costco Good Product Experience Honest Talk" to share the story. The shopper had selected a discounted cocoa breakfast cereal. Upon returning from the refrigerated section with milk, the cereal was missing. The elderly woman, who had taken the cereal, stated, "I took it. I saw it was on sale for NT$60 off, but I have trouble walking. You're young, you can go get another box, please?"
