Here's what the Costco 'star of death' means for your favorite warehouse items

Before the start of every day, hundreds of Costco workers across the country are tasked with printing out stacks of price tags and hanging them all over the store.

Some cards will also show a small asterisk in the upper right-hand corner, which fans of the brand have dubbed the"star of death."To further understand the cryptic symbol's significance, Insider spoke to a manager in Texas who has been with the company for over 20 years. Insider has verified his identity but is keeping it anonymous as he is not authorized to speak to the media.

Many seasonal items will be deleted from the system temporarily until their time comes back around, or sometimes the specific format of a product is changing, such as Bud Light in 16-ounce cans versus 12-ounce ones, each of which has a particular SKU.
