Do they have employees walking down each isle at closing? Isn’t there a chance somebody still walking on a different isle then they are?

Costco in Phoenix would turn down the lights and each isle got an employee moving people to the registers… The first round they were pretty polite about it, just asking us to move along, the second round was pretty much move out now…. No idea if there was a third sweep, I would assume so. Also employees checking restrooms and other areas.

As already stated, after hours there are usually maintenance tasks, restocking, unloading incoming shipments, etc…. Those teams are fairly small so I would guess if you did not belong it would be noticed . A few times I was out and about at 0dark30 and would drive by Costco (or other large stores) and usually there are 10 or 20 vehicals in the parking lot……
