This store is really run badly. The inventory has gotten so limited and of poor quality that I doubt I will continue my membership. Then add to that the customer service,which is horrible(especially at checkout) and all due is dread the day you go shopping their. Costco has really changed.

To say I am happy to have let my membership expire is to belittle the point. Costco is nothing more than a sham when it comes to saving money. Everything, except some groceries items, are higher priced than the competition. How much money can you really save buying groceries, in bulk, when your membership costs $50. You can't be there every week to buy the same thing you bought the week prior, in crate size, unless your feeding the city. The quality of the stuff they have isn't even that good. Also, the lack of employees means terrible customer service and check out lines that go on forever. And don't get me started on the parking situation. This place was a nightmare I should have waken from long ago.

WARNING TO ALL SHOPPERS: BEWARE OF THE CELL PHONE KIOSK AT COSTCO'S. THE WIRELESS COMPANY IS RUN BY INCOMPETENT RIP OFFS. I HAD THE WORST ENCOUNTER AT THIS COMPANY CALLED WIRELESS ADVOCATES. SO I'D LIKE TO WARN OTHERS ABOUT A REALLY BAD ONE OUT THERE. THE COMPANY IS RUN BY IGNORANTS WHO DON;T KNOW DECENT COURTESY, AND ARE OUT TO MAKE QUICK BUCKS BY GETTING PEOPLE.

Costco has discriminating hours for thier high-volume business customers, closed to the "public" in the early AM. Just after 9 in the morning on weekdays is the best time to do your shopping there, as most people congest parking and checkout lanes after 11 (just before the lunch rush). I have still not seen "10 items or less" or "self checkout", because that is Costco's policy: is how they discourage you to buy less (any business would. If you know what you came to buy, don't have a cart, and don't want to wait 10-30 minutes standing in line, go to the return line / membership desk and ask to be checked out. Membership is not needed to buy from the food court either.
Pros: buying in bulk is a good policy, it promotes sharing with the neighbors!
Cons: you need a truck to take home your purchases, and additional storage at home, even if you don't get plastic-happy

You should really get to know them, oooooo ooooooooooh... How great would it be to be able to get practically everything you wanted to buy all in the same place, many things in large quantities, and all for great prices? Welcome to Costco. If you haven't been there before, you will most likely be astounded at all the offerings (and I'll be astounded that someone still hasn't been to Costco, especially someone who knows how to use the internet). An abundance of foods, great quality veggies and fruits, nice meats, a great bakery, clothing that is excellent and excellently priced, I could go on and on but you shouldn't take my word for it. Go see for yourself!
Pros: Prices, quality, quantities, the "cafe",
Cons: Parking is always a bear, there's a membership fee,

Pros: value, taste
