Fox News reported that crowds at Costco peak on Sunday afternoons, placing that period at the center of its account of when the warehouse store is busiest. The article is available at the outlet's report on the worst times to shop at Costco.
According to the summary of the report, Reddit users and experts identified weekday windows that offer shoppers fewer lines and fuller shelves. As described in the summary, the report presents these weekday periods as an alternative to the Sunday afternoon crowds, though it does not name specific weekdays or hours.
Fox News attributed the weekday findings to two groups, Reddit users and experts. The summary does not say how many Reddit users contributed, which experts were consulted, or what methods they used to reach their conclusions. The outlet described the benefit of weekday visits in the terms its summary records as "fewer lines and fuller shelves."
The summary does not list a byline for the article and names no city in which the reporting took place. Because the report is known here only through its headline and summary, claims about crowd levels on individual days can be confirmed only as Fox News stated them.
Costco is not quoted in the summary, and the summary does not indicate whether the company responded to the findings. The outlet's framing treats the worst time to visit as the period when shoppers are least likely to expect it, while the summary identifies Sunday afternoon as the peak.
