Costco Wholesale

Why does it always have to be soooo busy??? I love everything about Costco… the prices, the selections, the employees! But I really dislike most of the patrons that come into Costco, most are very rude and makes it unpleasant to go. The employees at this Costco have always been very helpful and always courteous even during stressful times!
The food stand outside is yummy! I love that I can grab a hotdog and Coke for $ 1.50! Can’t beat the price. And the pizza is always delicious as well!

I was looking for the restaurant style tortilla chips that come in two bags of chips in a very huge bag and they weren’t there. It’s like they have discontinued it off the shelve. One employee said there coming back the chips in the summer but we’ll see. Most of our favorite foods which come from Costco which become our favorites shouldn’t roll off the shelve. They should keep on continuing selling the product. I miss the Kirkland Signature yogurt which came in the box. 3 stars!

Well lit with enough space to push a shopping cart without running or brushing into another person. The workers are always helpful and friendly (just watch talking to the cashiers they often spark conversations about non store related sometimes inappropriate things), they are always refilling or refolding items in the store isles.
The prices are good and the Costco brand Kirkland is just as good if not better then most commercial brands. The floors are clean and spill free or if you see an employee mopping there’s always a caution sign in place.
I love how the will have random kiosk set up throughout the store with employees making sample foods for you to try.
The store flows well but there is one thing that bothers me and I believe this problem exists at all Costco stores. In the meat isles the fresh chicken, beef, pork & fish packages are sticky with blood or meat fluids that have leaked out of some packages.
They «don’t provide» hand sanitizer, paper towels or hand wipe dispensers for you to clean the bacteria/​salmonella fluid off of your hands. I mentioned this to one of the store managers and she said she would make a note of this to corporate, this was about 8 months ago and nothing has changed as of yet. I got frustrated with this and started bringing my own hand wipes to clean my hands after handling the meats.

I want to say thanks again to Costco employees who always make my experience here efficient and actually kind of fun! Also huge thank you to the person who returned the heater I forgot to take out of my cart and I was able to pick up today after returning from out of town work. Stoked to know that there are good people out there!

We love this place! If ever there is an apocalypse this would be the place to be! It’s quite addicting going here though so be aware you spend more than you usually expect unless you are focused!
Love the food inside and out! Decent to great prices! Best milk price out there. The organic peanut butter and strawberry jam is well worth it for the PB&Js we feed our kids. Meats are always high quality and if you don’t mind freezing a better bang for the buck in most cases. I can always find kids clothes and whatnot for a decent price and gifts for almost anyone here!
Parking is crazy so go early. I mean early before they open. Yeah people actually do this haha!
Food court is always busy it seems so it makes me sad because I hardly get to buy a quick snack or meal.
My husband wants me to mention this one incident where we were both together with our two babies and bought alcohol. The register person wanted to see both of our IDs. even though he was paying out AND mine was in the car in BFE. It wasn’t an easy transaction to say the least as I hiked out to the car while he watched the babes. 15 min later (or so it seems?) I came back with my ID and they hardly looked at it. Annoyed.
Ironically we don’t look like teenagers and we had two kids in tow so why the double carding? 4 stars for annoying experience and bad parking.

Friendly customer service. Clean. Food sample people are lame though… I won’t hold them against costco & my rating as I think here an outside vending company hired, but they act like they are handing out their own personal rations for which they’ll starve if they hand them all out… I won’t even stand inline for a sample — no time for that! But, as I shop around — I see those sample people pulling power trips on the people waiting for samples — pretty lame! BUT, hopefully costco becomes aware that many of these vending people are kind of stingy & rude when I assume they’re supposed to be nice & kind & happily promoting a Product!
I LOVE the organic & NonGMO products available! So many choices and unbeatable prices.
And, my fav of all — the return policy — you can’t go wrong! If you’re not satisfied — return the item for a full refund & they aren’t rude about the return! Happily take whatever back.
So, yes — parking may be tight, so get there early or if possible, go during the week :-). Weekends are pretty busy!

please! fix the gas area problem. you block the intersection due to the gas lines!
it’s a hugh problem fix it!
it’s the way the cars «route in» that’s the issue.
otherwise costco allways gets 5 stars.
but fix the gas situation!!!
and use green sign holders for organics!
lake elsinore is the best at using green signs.
at the very least. get somebody to direct traffic! please

Hit Costco today for couple last minute Turkey day items and stuff I had no intention of buying. But this nice new warm sheep throw keeping me warm while I type away was worth every penny. Place was slammed but I knew it would be. Iv never parked so far away almost next to where the gas is. I got everything I needed and the lines were almost weekday empty. The managers had all the lines open. This is obviously not government ran established. Million people lets open it all up… Great job guys. Iv got time to go grab one of those tastes snacks at the food court. Thanks Costco for making my day better. This bottle of life juice should keep us out of trouble tomorrow for thanksgiving din din…

Thinking about my initial review, I’ve reconsidered and added one more star. This particular store is just too small for the area and doesn’t carry a lot of stuff other Costco’s have. Usually its pretty much a pain in the butt to shop here. But I must say, the employees are very friendly and fun to talk to. Except that one time, it was a long time ago though. Apparently one guy really had a rough day and was quite crabby about it being 10 minutes to closing time. I just wanted to get my Charmin. Which they don’t carry anymore. Where’s my Charmin??? Kirkland and Northern suck.

Terrible. Terrible lines. The manshier didn’t let me buy coffee but he was allowed to sell me wine. My dad was in the parking lot and I was using his card. So the manshier was either being a dick or following costcos strict rules. Whatever Costco and thanks for the gas.

Good values, never enough checkout lines. Too long wait times.
My grip is the food samples. The people who are putting out the samples, act like they are paying for them. Everyone I see them, the sample tray is empty, or the last one is taken as I approach. Then, they start the next batch, while the line of people starts to form.
So my suggestion is to start the next batch while the first one is out, not rocket science .
I think those persons need to be in-​serviced on how to serve the samples .
I hope it’s not Costco, instructing them to make 2 hours of samples last 5 !

I can never walk out of here without spending a hundred bucks!
This place is dangerous for me. I walk in, make my list and leave with a hundred other things!
The parking lot is always filled and the lines are always super long. But honestly, if you are trying to feed a family on a budget, this is the place to be!
I usually come right when they open so that all the shelves are replenished and still have organization. They are usually pretty good about restocking their merchandise, but things do sell out quickly. Once you see it, you better grab it. I guarantee it won’t be here the next time!
I love, love, love that they now offer a variety of Organic foods. No excuses not to eat healthy now.

I’ve been going to this location since 2002, and it is my favorite costco.
Things that set it apart is, we were told by other managers that it was set up reverse of most costcos. The store layout is familiar to me, and of course they have the best deals possible on most items.
Friendly staff. My brother had the chance to be a seasonal employee and absolutely loved it, he wants to come back it was so great!
Food court is my favorite thing of course.
This costco is great!

OKAY! So I have to admit that I do have a LOVE for Costco!
I wonder if it’s because:
~They give food samples while you walk around and shop?
~There are tons of foods in bulks and makes it easier to grab and go?
~Pricing here is better because you get more for your money?
Ding…Ding…Ding…I would have to say all the above!
But what I didn’t like was:
~The terrible parking on the weekend!
~The long lines to pay for your items
~And you cant use Credit Cards… FAIL!
Customer service seems to be AMAZING here though I must admit and the location of it is PERFECT!
3 STARS for Costco!

I LOVE costco! They have the best customer service of any store we go too! It just never fails… whether you need them to assist in the store, return an item you bought 4 years ago or even if you are in the mood to gorge yourself with little tidbits of food or drink… Costco comes through!
I had the most wonderful experience yet again, however this time they didn’t help me but their guidance was excellent!
We bought the vertical oscillating fans combo (big guy and little desktop one). The little guy stopped working so I took it in because I know just how amazing their return policy is. The customer service rep said they are out of stock on these however if I wanted to bring back the big brother to this one (it was sold in a 2 pack) that she would happily give me a full credit. It brought a tear because there was no way I was bringing back that wonderful big brother as it worked perfectly!!! Her response «Well I am glad you love it but if that one ever breaks, you can bring back the siblings together and we can make things happen for you!»
I walked away very torn. not sure if I was happy that she was so encouraging for the future refund or bummed that I had to store this little guy until his counter part kicked the bucket!!.
Maybe I should check other stores and see if anyone else has it in stock… unikely since we have had excruciating temperatures! Oh well, I did get full on all the snacks around the store! Costco always provides a silver lining!

We came to purchase a TV.
Nothing stops us from eating in the food court in 100 degree temps. GREAT FOOD!
Always a great experience!

The Temecula Costco is my favorite and I have shopped at many Costco stores in many counties. The lay-​out just makes sense to me. They are always busy, no matter when you go but that seems to be the case at all of them. The people that work at this Costco are extremely nice. We are lucky if we exit the store under $ 500 lighter. We have even purchased a really nice, huge garden shed from them. All of our televisions have been purchased at this Costco– they have one of the best selections of electronics. There is a nice selection of veggies/​fruits. Overall, in my opinion, the best Costco.

Omg! The lineup to get into the parking lot on a Sunday afternoon was stupid ridiculous! There were several areas of construction so you cant drive the entire circumference of the location! Terrible! There were some shade parking spots which was a must for 108 degree heat! I thought that NorCal Costco’s were all that & a bag of chips but I was wrong! Shut the front door!!! Yes! They actually had kombucha in 6 packs! They had the big one gallon jugs of Kirkland water which I have been asking for at Folsom & Rancho for the past 2 years! They had several items that NorCal doesn’t carry anymore (the frozen quinoa & kale) and a few other items. They certainly did not have as much organic selection but it was very tempting to leave the crown down here! The clothing selection was great! The grocery & HABA selection were superb! Except for the lineups to get in the parking lots & the morons who stop to grab samples & leave their grocery carts in the middle of the flipping aisle
Ok. Whew, I feel much better now! When visiting your out of town friends, do them a favor and take them to their local Costco. They will thank you & be deeply grateful!

True Fact: Being Asian, it is pre-​programmed in me to love anything Costco.
There is just something about waiting in line at the Costco gas station and telling myself I am never doing this again because it’s not worth it… and then come back and repeating the masochistic cycle of torturing myself while waiting in line under the hot sun and wondering why I come back to Costco gas every week.
I guess it’s the great prices that you just can’t beat at any other gas station in the area!
I am very happy this time with my Costco gas experience because Costco gas usually has a long line. This time, I stopped by this Costco in Temecula at around 6:30pm on a weekday and only waited 5 minutes for my turn to pump gas! This is unheard of in San Diego! Kudos to Temecula Costco for not being so crowded during rush hour!
Moral of the story, I will be frequenting Temecula Costco more often.

The customer service at this Costco is always great! Never have I ever received terrible service here. And I mean, who doesn’t love Costco… where the costs are lowwww.
With this being the only Costco for the Murrieta/​Temecula/​Wildomar area, there is never a time where this Costco is not busy. Especially when it’s located right across the Promenade Mall (which is also like the only mall in this area). With that being said, parking is tough, and getting gas is tough too. The key is to stay level-​headed and not be aggravated so easily — it’s never nice dealing with these types in parking lots. Everyone is all on the same page, and it never hurt being courteous.
Food court line is always long too, but you really can’t pass up a delicious AND cheap lunch or snack before or after shopping.
