Is there a polite non-obnoxious, non-shaming, (and non-violating social distance rules) to tell people in Costco that their valved N95 masks are not helping at all and they should find other masks?
Stopping the spread to the person wearing them is still stopping the spread. It doesn't protect you from him, so admonish him for selfishness if you wish, but don't pretend his mask isn't helping with the epidemic at all.

I wear valved respirators because they're easier to breathe with. They're selfish, I get that. My response if someone complained to me about the valve would be to recommend they wear a respirator too. If 100% of people wore valved respitators would the issue go away?

Yes, but there aren't enough valved N95s for everyone. You can still do as some doctors do and wear an ordinary mask over the valve to filter exhalations.
