What People Are Saying About Costco

In Short – Formerly known as the Price Club, this large membership-only warehouse is chock-full of almost any consumer product under the sun-in bulk, of course. With goods ranging from high-end electronics to outdoor furniture to fresh lobster, this wholesale superstore has got it (lots and lots of it!). While the high-volume and low prices appeals mainly to families and business, it's not uncommon to find college students trolling the various aisles for free food samples. The various membership options offer a range of plans, all reasonably priced. A word of warning to shopaholics: If…

Rude,Rude employees
by KenKarns at Citysearch
The majority of the people who work there are Hispanic and very "RUDE". They need to understand that if people don't shop there they won't have a job. I have asked for help before and the sales person didn't even speak English. They need to have more lines open so that you can get in and out without having to wait,and wait in long lines. Makes you wonder if COSTCO is hiring illegal aliens.
- Cons: Very,very rude employees, can't speak English

It's not a dump...but close

Why would people criticize an over hyped flea market under a drippy roof. The nerve of some people. Costco is the gutter of American retail. Its true that no one should expect something above or beyond from a warehouse outfit. What is ridicilous the midiocre selection of products, which you are pigeon holed into buying if want to make up your membership dues. You could do this if you buy a big ticket item like a flat screen, although the prices aren't really competitive and the selection is low end and usually out dated. Their groceries are limited and usually of inferior brands or quality. This usually means one national brand and Kirland (the store brand). Their inventory is based on what they can get on the cheap. Then you have a no where to be found customer service. A twenty minute wait to check out because most of the registers are closed isn't surprising. To understaff is one thing, to expect people to put up with it is another. Yes...Costco.

The absolute best
by traceyharris at Citysearch
I can't believe that anyone has something bad to say about Costco. It is a WAREHOUSE!!!! Expect lines, and people and yes, sometimes the fruit might spoil, get over it! The meat is the best and the quality is amazing. The selection of the merchandise and the value you get are so worth it! I booked a vacation through their travel and it too was effortless. They were prompt, gave me all of the information that I needed prior to going and was a great value. I visit Costco as much as I can to get everything from toilet paper to vitamins. It really is the best place to shop. Where else can you also get True Religion jeans at a discount! I love you Costco!!!!!!!
- Pros: value, selection
- Cons: parking
