"I wanted to try it all!" US Costco worker falls in love with Costco Canada
A Costco worker from the US visited Canada and fell head over heels in love with the food selection.
A Canadian content creator has previously compared the menus at food courts in the US and Canada. This time, an American shopper heads north of the border to see how different the bakery section is.
Maggie Perkins works for Costco in the US and was formerly in the store’s bakery section. Before her career at the big-box chain, she was a teacher.
In a video posted on TikTok, she headed to the downtown Vancouver location, where she found an impressive variety.
@itsmaggieperkins I used to work in the bakery at Costco, and today I got to go to the Costco in Vancouver, Canada. It was fun to see all the different items they carry! It all looked amazing. Well done, Costco Bakery! The Canadian Costco experience was cool đź’› #costcofinds #costcotiktok #costcobuys #costcobakery #kirklandsignature #vancouver ♬ original sound – Maggie Perkins 🍉
“I used to work in the bakery at Costco, and today I got to go to the Costco in Vancouver, Canada,” she wrote in the caption. “It was fun to see all the different items they carry! It all looked amazing. Well done, Costco Bakery! The Canadian Costco experience was cool.”
In the short clip, Perkins entered the bakery and reacted to the variety available.
Some items that caught her attention were the boxes of 20 mini chocolate croissants for $8, the lemon poppy seed loaf, the pineapple coconut cake, and the blueberry cheese crust pie.
She also points to the Chocolate Lovers’ Cookie Pack and states, “We used to do these in the United States, and now we have raisin instead of the double chocolate chunk.”
Other baked goods that Perkins found fascinating were the different types of bread available, such as the brioche and ciabatta buns.
“I wanted to try it all!” she wrote.
Of course, no trip to Costco Canada is complete without stopping at the food court to order chicken tenders, fries, and poutine.
@itsmaggieperkins Replying to @Yu8Mykookie Yes! The Costco Food Court in Canada has similar and different items to the ones we see in the United States. The poutine and gravy fries were definitely special to Canada, and the chicken tenders were a solid 10/10. I think it’s interesting that the hot dog combo is still $1.50 even though other canadian items are peoced higher. They were out of ice cream so we couldnt try the sundae but i wanted to!!! #costco #costcotiktok #costcofoodcourt #vancouver ♬ Beautiful (feat. Camila Cabello) – Bazzi
“These are some of the best french fries I’ve had, ever, period,” said Perkins.
