Costco

As I worked here for a week, i observed the comings and goings of this Costco. The lines at the register at times stretched way back into the aisles, but for the most part Costco opened extra lanes for members to go through. The average wait time was about 10 minutes especially on weekends, lunch time and between 5pm and 6:30pm. The managers as usual were hit and miss, with the majority being unfriendly and stand offish. The employees though were always helpful and nice to me and the members. The snack shop did a good job also of moving people through when they order food and the pizza at this location was pretty good, still at $ 1.99 per slice. They added a brisket and turkey sandwich, but did not try those items.
Do not agree with that receipt check on the way out, it is just a bit too much. This location is very crowded and good luck trying to grab a sample on a weekend, the members swarm those carts and things get crazy for a free taste of anything.

How can you let Joshua Hollabough work at your establishment when he got arrested inside Costco!!! He is awaiting trial on a pedaphile case!!! I have two daughters and now neither me or any of my family and friends will ever go back to a Costco ever again!!! I thought Costco had the highest standards for employees!!! I guess I was wrong!!! Good job Costco

This is our preferred location because it usually has an electric scooter or even two available. My mother and I are both disabled, her more than I so she almost always gets one right away. The employees inside the store are somewhat scarce when you need help but the checkout employees more than make up with it with their speed, accuracy and above all, their pleasant manner in which they speak with you and do their job. Very happy and satisfied with this location and I drive further from my house, which is near the Sossaman store because of the scooter and employees.

This review is for the Optical Dept only.
We’ve been members of Costco since 1994.
And today, we’ve encountered the rudest Licensed Optician to date.
We got a ticket. We waited patiently for 30 minutes to be helped. We noticed that people that came AFTER us were and have been helped before us. So I sent my niece to inquire if they’re using the ticket systeme to help customers. The Licensed Optician said were next and dismissed my niece.
We’re new to glasses or getting glasses. So we asked the License Optician Karen. Our inquiries were greeted with rude and condescending comments, loaded with such a negative attitude… «What? You didn’t ask your eye doctor?!» We explained that we were seen by the eye doctor mid 2015. She rolled her eyes, and continued on using unfamiliar terminologies. So we asked. After all, we are paying customers, and we were proper customers. She didn’t quite like that we inquired. Deep sighs, sarcasms, and more eye rolling followed suite.
We will never use the Optical Department again. I wonder if the reason we were treated like shit is because we were the only brown skin at that time? Very odd indeed.

The best ! ! Especially the gas station, it’s always clean and employees are always friendly

Gotta love Costco and their great prices and foods. Finally a store brand, Kirkland, that tastes good and is actually a Great Value… Most of the time. It’s generally busy here which doesn’t bother me too much because there is so much open space. However I refuse to shop here on the weekends, takes forever to check out. Strange thing I just realized is even when they are packed they don’t have all checkout lanes open. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen that here, even on days where it feels like you are in Disneyland, I’m talking to you — the day before thanksgiving. Food at the food court tastes amazing as always and is super greasy. Love the samples.

You’ve seen one Costco, you’ve seen ‘em all, they say. Or so I’ve heard. Maybe I just say that because I’ve never really met a Costco that I didn’t like.
This one is a particular favorite because it’s so close to my work and I can count on my hand the number of times I’ve seen the catastrophically long lines at the gas station that I’ve seen at other Costcos (*cough* 44^th Street I’m looking at you *cough*). There’s almost never a wait and I’ve been during all times of day.
If you live alone and are lazy like me, you find that running out of toilet paper is a hard reality sometimes. Buying it at Costco solves the problem of quantity without draining your wallet. You’ll find bulk versions of most home staples like toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, swiffer refills and kitchen staples like coffee, juice packs, and condiments in quantities that you didn’t think were necessary. But they are.
Customer service is ok for the most part but I did notice on my last trip that they have more of those independent sales contractors on site who can be kind of pushy. Otherwise, your average Costco experience and average isn’t a bad thing!

I think they should stay open later Fri., St. & Sundays because people work on the weekdays. I love how Costco is getting more into the organic industry and real food unlike the TV commercial food. I am very sad that the Costco Corporation decided (an obvious selfish attempt to make more money) to take away the Delicious Hebrew national hot dogs which are the best hotdogs on he market unless you go straight organic from a different store and replace them with Kirkland «all beef hot dogs» which is most certainly not all beef and of much lesser quality. Maybe it’s all from cows buts it’s the everything in the cow that is not sellable until ground up. ENJOY EVERYONE!!‼‼

Finally I feel like a real adult because I got a Costco card this year! Granted, as part of a family membership, but lets not get hung up on semantics. It doesn’t change the adult quota stock points. I eat dessert for breakfast, go to bed when I wanna, and get giddy from the idea of spending under $ 4 for a pack of 40 water bottles.
BAM!
:adult card thrown down:
The café prices are unbeatable so don’t forget to bring some cash to spend on a hot dog, slice of pizza, churro, or giant cup of soft serve on your way out the door.
As for the poor guys up front, towards the entrance, that ask to speak to you for a moment about DirectTV (Seriously, why? Oh, right-​right, because I’m an adult). I feel so bad that I brush them off (because let’s be honest that’s probably what everyone else does too), but I don’t have time for that when I’ve got some free samples to indulge in, comfy sweatpants to check out, need to stock up on food like I’m feeding a few very hungry soccer teams or filling the shelves in an underground bomb shelter, and most importantly, to hug MEGA-​JUMBO Teddy Bears (when they are in season)…because that is what an adult does!

What can you say about Costco. Employees seem very friendly however like all Costco locations this one is pretty busy. May choose to avoid this location as it was seriously busy.

It’s been a long while since I’ve visited this Costco location. Went here yesterday to search for holiday sales of organic Fair Trade coffee, other than that High Desert Roasters Organic Rainforest medium roast Peruvian whole beans I usually buy at the 101/​Hayden Costco in Scottsdale.** Instead, I found bags of Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Organic Mexico medium roast 100% Pure Arabica whole beans. The bag states «Direct Trade,» but is it Fair Trade?*** Hmm… At $ 12 for a two-​pound bag, I thought I’d give Costco’s 100% Money Back, No Questions Asked guarantee policy a shake; I hope I won’t have to test this policy…
I also found Panasonic eneloop 2100-​cycle 2000 mAh rechargeable kits, originally $ 30, on sale for $ 24; That’s a $ 6 auto rebate. (Amazon is currently selling these kits for $ 33.49.) These kits come with batteries that are pre-​charged «with Solar Power 2» and are labeled to hold charges for up to 10 years! That’s eight AA and four AAA Ni-​MH batteries, two C and two D adapters, and an «advanced charger.» Sorry, but I forgot to check until how long this auto rebate is good for.** I bought a kit years ago, but a certain someone (who will not be named) threw a few batteries away, not knowing they were rechargeable. In the years succeeding, she’s also thrown away other 2000 mAh rechargeable brands I’d replaced them with– Energizer and amazon basics (Ni-​MH 2000 mAh 8-​packs are currently being sold for $ 19.54 and $ 18.99 on Amazon, respectively). I use these batteries to power a wireless keyboard, wireless mice and DVD remotes (these are where the AAA cells come in handy), our DirecTV remotes, and the three lovely sets of flameless candles I’ve purchased at Costco (intricate versions are offered during the Christmas holiday season, so watch out for them now).
**Hmm… I just now noticed that nowhere on this product does it mention Fair Trade, or even Direct Trade. Guess I’m really ISO new organic coffee beans sold by companies that support sustainability!
***Fair Trade vs. Direct Trade. Which do you support?

Usually great customer service. Tonight I went for gas at 9:15. Was told by nearby attendant that gas closes at nine. Had my Costco app open in my hand which says 9:30. He was not interested, and confirmed there was nothing he could do because the pumps are already off.

I love Costco and this location is a good one. As with most if not all Costco’s, this one can get crowded. I have found it is always clean, the restrooms included, plenty of carts available and if you’re lucky enough to get there before they put the samples away, a buffet awaits. I’m lucky enough to live right in the middle of the triangle created by this location, the Costco near Chandler Mall and the Costco in Tempe on Elliot. It really depends on what I’m doing when I decide which location to go to. I have not had a bad experience here and have found the staff to be pleasant and helpful.

I love this store. I have yet to have any issues here. They have great stock. They employees are friendly. The food has been good. We joke that just take the art of items you buy and multiple it by $ 10 and you have your total you spend for the day, lol. We go there for the bulk items mostly and the munchies venders, lol. It’s like meals on wheels or a picnic while we shop. :) Good Deals, too.

Only went for tires. The guys there are great. When I broke a rim and needed a couple tires swapped around they mounted two and realized my old spare was toast. Chris and Phil mounted an older tire I had on hand. Thanks guys. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would but tires here again.

I wish they would post the hours of operation for the main store, pharmacy and tire center. Nothing on google or their web site. I need tires but every time I go there they tell me I will have a two hour wait. If I knew what time they opened I could get there 30 minutes early and wouldn’t have such a long wait in 115 degree heat. Calling the main number the recording doesn’t mention hours for tire shop. I’m pretty sure they open before the main store but don’t know how much earlier.

The one time I forget my card they deny me any access to the card services, food court, bathrooms, nothing. My family has been part of costco for years and never had just a rude accusation thrown at me. I think we might be discontinuing our membership after this! Terrible!

I Go there a lot over the years. I just started to review places I go to. For bulk stuff it’s great some times we think we are getting a deal but in reality we are not. I go there because they got good stuff. But back to why I am writing this review we got pizza for my crew and it was cheap and good fed 8 guys for 20 bucks great deal.

Costco never disappoints. Looking for bulk items? Costco is your place with great prices and quality!

Shhhh!
If you promise not to tell, I’ll tell you a secret. There’s a *certain* kid who has a birthday coming up, and if you were looking for a *certain* toy that costs at least double everywhere else, this is where you would go.
That’s one of the things I do enjoy about Costco. They bring stuff in and out pretty quick, so every trip there is different than the last. But there are also the staples in the foods and home goods sections that you can stock up on when you need to.
This location stands out because after having been a few times, I’ve yet to have too hard of a time parking and it’s always been pretty tidy. Please note, however, that I have yet to visit on a Saturday. Saturday at a Costco? What – do you have a death wish?
