Some Costco employees say they get a special cake after working with the company for 25 years that normal customers can't order
Employees who hit 25 years at Costco can get a sheet cake with the Costco logo on it.
However, some Costco fanatics have been able to get their hands on it.
A super Costco fan, 27-year-old Max Ellinger, once had his birthday party in a Costco food court. His friends knew he loved Costco, so they ordered a sheet cake with the Costco logo on it.
Kelly Reck, Ellinger's friend, was told that the cake with the Costco logo was a special treat reserved for employees hitting their 25th year.
To convince Costco to make the cake, Reck said that Ellinger had a Costco tattoo — which was a lie at the time.
"They put her on hold and got her one-time permission for the cake," Ellinger explained. "In exchange for photos [of the tattoo]."
To preserve Reck's honor, Ellinger went ahead and got the tattoo that day. And he said he didn't regret the decision at all.
"It felt right," he said.
Though not a Costco employee, Ellinger managed to get the Costco cake of his dreams.
