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
