Why do people open up the cases of oil ? You can't buy one quart at a time; why open up the case ?
Open cases of oil at Costco

I have never seen that here. Ours only has chevron supreme and mobil1
Why do people pickup a bag of frozen peas and drop them off in the candy isle? Why do people leave their half full coffee cups where ever? Because they are low class A-HOLES.
I don't know about your Costco but at the one near me, my friend retired as a manager and caught people opening boxes of Mobil 1 and taking bottles out swapping them with Chevron Supreme. Long story, paying Chevron Supreme prices but Mobil 1 is in the boxes as the cashiers don't check inside.

Maybe just to read the label on the bottle to see what specs it covers. Info that's not printed on the box?

I just thought of that too. Or maybe they have a car that takes 5w20 and another that takes 10w30 so they mix and match to make a case.

Come to think of it I've noticed this a few times at our Costco, but I'm not sure why people do it? Reading specs, counting bottles inside, being a nosy BITOG [censored] looking for the little "FS" on the front label...who knows.

A lot to do with Dinoburner's "A-HOLE" theory. You see it in a lot of places.

That's called stealing...

Yep and it happens at all stores, not just the usual suspects. A consumer needs to apply due diligence wherever they shop.

What's worse is buying.a jug of Castrol Edge EP 10w30 from Walmart then going to do an oil change to discover someone's used oil inside of it. It was the last jug of that oil left. I was able to get some new stuff but it was a pain and a time waster dealing with it.

That is the reason, for sure!

That happened to me with a jug of CASTROL Magnatec. Wal Mart actually let me exchange it and open jug in front of them.
