I hate it there so much; the staff is great, but it's the dumb boomers who like it kibitz with the employees to draw out interactions that make it torture.

I kinda get it, but sometimes, confused people, please stand to the side and let the teller deal with the next person while you spend 5-10 minutes discussing how confused you are and what you should do next.

But... this isn't a shut in issue. Costco delivers, so you could have hotdog buns and a pack of polish hotdogs/all beef hot dogs in the freezer and you could get that ready to eat in far less time than requesting it via app. Boiling water is literally the longest part of the process. A bun would warm up in like 30 seconds in a microwave.
The only extra thing you'd need are your favourite condiments in the fridge and banana peppers, chopped onions etc. if you wanted to be fancy (and I think Costco discontinued offering this).
Hell, add a can of Stag chili and some of the pre-shredded cheese/cheese whiz... with hot sauce that's a damn good chili cheese dog and even with the extra use of the microwave, it's still the water that takes the longest time.

Taking 15 minutes out of their day to bank-to-face is a lot less stressful and time-consuming for them than struggling with digital log-ins and transactions.

I know people who owned businesses and did this all digitally for years prior to the current day. They waste my time or other people's time doing it the lazy way.
As much as there are some people who have this scam concern as their true reasoning, honestly speaking, anecdotally, I'd argue it's more the minority now.
