Costco

A costco is a costco is a costco. This one just happens to be in a large city. It has a large parking lot, which is great. No gas and some other features are not here because of the location. It is busy. Sometimes very. But it is costco. Wine selection is good. I see some items here that I don’t see at other caustic’s. Fresh Poke on certain days. Crab bars during the season. Meats are always outstanding. Perfect place for those in San Francisco.

As an new-​comer to this country, I am totally shocked at how reasonable the price is for such high-​quality food.
I like steak, grape there and free snaps for sure

Similar to all other Costcos, so you probably already know what to expect. The great thing is that they have parking, and this is awesome considering their location, which usually has limited street parking.
Like in other Costcos, the produce is in bulk and in the case of fresh produce, it’s hit or miss — need to inspect your fruits and veggies before buying them.

Everyone is familiar with Costco. Stuff you want, stuff you need, in 10x the quantity you need, so all you need to ask yourself is: What do I need to stock up on?
Thank you Costco, to this establishment, and other establishments, for (usually) operating in an organized and clean way. Thank you for your efficient staff. Thank you for being open on Christmas Eve and still having plenty in stock. Thank you for all that you offer. Thank you for the $ 1.50 hot dog & soda that I’ve been eating all these years. Thank you for discounted movie tickets.
Thank you for feeding me and my family since before I could see over a shopping cart.

5 stars just for LOUELLA, she is so extremely nice and bears with me because I always need a day pass. Actually everyone here is really nice. It’s overly crowded but there’s nothing u can do about that. Food is good and reasonably priced.

I love Costco, but this is one of the most chaotic costco outlets I have been to.
They do have some items that I can’t find at other bay area outlets though –Wrigley’s gum, Asian snacks in bulk, etc.
Won’t be back unless I’m in the area and am down for some $ 1.50 hotdog — probably the cheapest lunch in soma!

The only Costco I’ve ever been to that doesn’t allow people to come in and just order food

Where do you go to eat free food? I want to give a shout out to the staff at the cell phone section. They really keep their cool and they were so nice in getting my cell phone in order. The tire people were just as nice, but hate their long lines, especially when it gets busy. Call them up and make an appointment. The food court needs a good clean every half hour. There are lots of sloppy people out there. I’m so glad that the parking lot is 3 stories and three exits. I’ve always been able to find a space. You just can’t beat their return policy.

I’ve been shopping at Costco for 20 years. Great chain, but this locations has several key flaws. In addition to being more crowded than most, the parking is really challenging and theirs no gas station. The food court is also inside and very difficult to navigate since the waiting area is so small.
Because this location is so crowded, I frequently leave my cart at a less crowded location in the isle so that I can more easily navigate the isle and so it isn’t blocking other people as they shop.
Yesterday, I placed my cart around the corner as I browsed the frozen foods. I returned less than 5 minutes later to find my cart missing. I found a Costco employee emptying all my items so they could then be restocked. I asked «why do you have my cart?» She responded «because it was unattended.» Dumbfounded, I asked for her manager. According to the manager, this is routine practice at this Costco location. The manager was unapologetic and didn’t offer to help restock my cart. In addition to the 10 minutes spent locating my cart, I had to spend another 30 minutes tracking down all the items that were already emptied from my cart.
So, since this Costco apparently routinely removes briefly «unattended» carts, I won’t be going back to this location.

Hello!
To everyone who writes a bad review for «customer service» issues, packed aisles, busy parking lots, etc., keep in mind we are referring to COSTCO! That’s what their entire business model revolves around. Cheap stuff, not caring about aesthetics, and not caring too much about the customer experience.
Before entitled people judge a warehouse, surplus, store like Costco, check your privilege first and don’t compare it to other grocery stores. It’s MUCH more than that :)
Thank you Costco and please ignore rude people who get excited to write bad review on Unilocal. Overall, I would take GREAT prices over mediocre customer service any day.

Costco has mesmerized me for years. As a kid growing up in the suburbs, I’ve been to quite a few off of various highways, but this is the first «city» Costco I’ve visited. That means: there’s a huge parking lot, which is great for your transportation needs!
If I had a Costco card, I would definitely stock up on bathroom and kitchen necessities, including dry goods, and also visit for recipe ingredients if I was entertaining. Otherwise, I think the result would be (knowing me) mindlessly overeating a ginormous bag of my favorite kind of chips, and/​or too much of a whole $ 10 pizza, and/​or too many slices of tiramisu. #NotGonnaLie
People are really into loving or hating bulk sales places, but it’s not the fault of these businesses for our own overconsumption, I say — that’s all just human behavior. ;)

I need more storage so I can buy more sh*t — I mean stuff — from Costco.
First of all, I’ve been to some Costco’s and I can honestly say I have never seen such a crowded Costco in my life. Even during the holidays. Ever. EVER. Like, ever.
they have every single register open — novel concept.
Employees are well trained and friendly — take note COMCAST.
The store is clean despite myriads of people constantly knocking things over and just walking by. (Why are certain shoppers so rude? Do they think cleaning up after themselves is beneath them?)
Also, did you know that the Kirkland Brand liquors are, in many cases, made by the same distilleries as the name brand booze? Same stuff, lower price.
Also, Jeremy S. brought me back with the PriceClub mention.

Accessible by bus, but you have to take an Über to get home thanks to your 50 pack of TP and 3 gallons of laundry detergent.
Lines move quick despite the crowd, but be careful not to be stuck behind the guy who wants to do 5 different transactions on 4 different cards and a reprint of every receipt.
You don’t really need 1.75 Liters of Vodka, but your liver magically isn’t around to tell you not to.
You convince yourself that 5 pounds of broccoli florets can be consumed before they go bad, but the rotting smell coming from your refrigerator is proving you otherwise.
You love Costco because it’s the only reason why you can say you carry an AMEX around in your wallet (until next year of course when they change to Citi Visa). Bling bling motherfuckers, I’m rollin in high status. Just don’t ask me to see my card ok?

A really ethical CEO (Craig Jelinek) who pays his employees well, provides generous benefit packages and promotes from within to the highest level of management.
You can really feel good about shopping Costco.
And then there are those super-​size samples. Jelinek says he’ll never cut back on that customer perk– and why should he?
Raise your hand if you ever bought a huge package of green chile & cheese enchiladas or a box of those frozen Angus cheeseburgers after sampling a big bite.
Oh yeah, Jelinek’s a smartie all right and a mensch to boot.
I fill my cart with delicious Australian loin lamb chops, Dino-​shaped all white meat chicken nuggets, an occasional roast chicken (do they drown that bird in garlic butter? Dang it’s good!), crème fraîche, Campari tomatoes, a bucket of Meyer lemons, Superfoods greens, giant jars of «Better than Bouillon» stock starter, lemongrass scented Litter Purrfect (lifting that 38# jug qualifies as weight bearing + cardio workout), Tide detergent.
OMG, I’m starting to hyperventilate, I just love me a trip to Costco.
I try to get out the door for under $ 125. Sometimes I can– but it’s not easy.
In short, I’m a huge fan of Costco. I think my family eats better food and for a whole lot less than if I only shopped grocery stores.
Plus, there are those samples…
