In fact, since the chain's opening in 1983, checking receipts<\/a> has remained a Costco staple.

Is this a common Costco practice? And if so, why do Costco workers draw smiley faces on its receipts? Here's what we found.\r\n

Why does Costco draw smiley faces on receipts?<\/h2>\r\nIf your Costco draws a smiley face on your receipt, count yourself lucky. They may just be trying to make your day (or your child's day). Like this TikTok from @peepmyfamily<\/a> shows, kids may just come to expect\u2014and adorably applaud\u2014a beaming happy face on a Costco receipt. It's too cute!\r\n
