Costco

The swap from American Express to Visa (or debit/​cash/​check) makes the membership an endangered species for me. Bulk sizes on things like potatoes and onions (only ¹⁰⁄₅ pound bags) mean I have to go to the regular supermarket anyway. Staff is not the most helpful though they are usually courteous.
On the other hand, prices almost always beat out Amazon (why am I paying for Prime again?) and certain things can’t be beat anywhere. For special occasions the meat department is Whole Foods quality at regular prices. Need frozen appetizers? Chicken nuggets? Frozen fruit? Costco has it at the best price.
Shopping online is not the easiest, but many items ship free and cost the same as in store.

We’ve been members here for years. As much as they sell things in bulk, we are here several times a week. They make it easy to shop — very limited or no choices between sizes or brands — works for us. We’d debate unit pricing between the small and large container or this brand or that. There was a CNBC piece about Costco where they said that often, when given too many choices, people get stymied by all the choices and don’t buy anything. So for Costco and us, them limiting what they offer fits our needs.
And it’s a great place to grab a bite to eat. The hot dog and soda price of 1.50 has been the same for YEARS. A great value!

Reliable Costco. I just hate how alot of companies to trials here. Meaning you can buy one item one week and never ever see it again. Lines are obvi long on the weekend. Go really early or during the week.

Costco as a whole have a reputation for great service, but I just wanted to point out what makes them great and differentiates them from the rest. I was there this morning as always and needed help finding peeled garlic and asked Fred in the produce department, he said yes they have it and proceeded to show me where it is, and show me he did, he walked with me across the warehouse to the exact spot where the peeled garlic was. He didn’t point me in the general direction, he didn’t give me directions, he walked with me. We made small talk and being a business owner and a retail manager myself, I cannot express how appreciative I am of such service, it’s hard to come by. Excellent Job «Fred» in the produce department. Employees like you are a rare breed nowadays.

I want to complain about an old lady worker in the Bridgewater NJ Costco food court. She is VERY RUDE. She yelled at my little daughter when asked are you out of Fries. She was so rude and her actions were so uncalled for. She is rude to every customer who buys from there. How is even COSTCO hiring such people that to as front cashier at the food court. Ridiculous customer service. This lady should be fired from her job if she doesn’t want to work with respect to the customers. I will Not recommend this Bridgwater Nj costco food court till this lady is fired.
Hope they do something soon and take the action!

I do go to other Costco’s because of family being in different areas and working in different areas. Nothing beats the service at the Bridgewater Costco! It is always clean and organized. I do see many comments about how busy the Costco is, but I have never experienced it being more busy than any of the other Costco’s in the area. The fruit the meets everything is always fresh. We have never had a bad experience. We have even gotten a few birthday cakes from Costco decorated perfectly and tasting very good. I have had some issues with managers at the North Plainfield location and was not too happy with the cashiers at the Princeton location. Bridgewater has always been my go-​to place!

I’ve been here monthly for over 7 years & all i can say is that it’s great. The usual Costco goodness in everything from layout, staff, stock, displays, etc. It’s an older location lacking liquor & gasoline but NJ state only issued Costco 2 liquor licenses for NJ (Wayne, Edison) with non-​Costco operators for some locations & they’ve been trying to get gasoline in here for a long time with locals against it so I don’t hold them against Costco. Many reviewers cite bad staff attitude but I’ve never experienced it. Note they roll the doors down 15mins before stated closing time.

Earned zero stars today with very poor customer service delivered by store managerJeff Guarino and cashier Jenn A. When my adult daughter went shopping today with my wife’s card, she was told our card would be flagged, and she would be allowed to use it once, only if she paid cash. Jeff, look around you, fifty percent of your customers are using their relatives’ cards. Graciousness is not a Costco attribute. Costco, you’ve been flagged! As terrible a customer experience as written in other reviews. Drive on…

They always stop carrying great products, like Super Grain Salad. Then when I contacted their customer service, they lied to me and said the manufacturer stopped making it. Not true! I think Costco just couldn’t be bothered with me. Now I can’t be bothered with them, I’m joining BJ’s instead.

Customer Service desk staff very rude and unprofessional. I’ll keep it one star because of the distasteful experience! Try and ask someone for help in the isle and they sigh as if you’re inconveniencing them! I had to tell one guy in his face «for get about it! I’ll find it myself!!!» For $ 100 buck a year you’d expect better positive attitudes! On that note I’ve had to pleasure to deal with some very nice ladies at the checkout line. It’s a hit or miss but mostly positive attitudes. And the store is always fully stocked! They do need to fix the shitty service all their customer service staff exhibits, for the company’s first point of contact, «Customer Service» is a the main core of any business’s success, when recruiting and retaining customers. I certainly am waiting for my membership to be over before I cut my cards up and go to BJ’s.

I love Costco! My favorite place in the world to go grocery shopping in. I detest how long the lines get on the weekends though :(

What can you say about Costco that already has not been said? Yes, you can buy tires, diamonds, and $ 17,000 whiskey here and everything in between. They are not going to have all the brands of your desires but generally speaking what they do have is of great quality (including the Kirkland private label items).
For those times I am in the mood for a huge amount of rotisserie salmon I get it from here. I have also managed to find a lot of other things that are go to items for me and the store.
Yes, you need a membership, yes, you will be buying in quantity, no, you won’t be complaining about it.

Hot dog and sofa for $ 1.50 before tax. One of the best deals in towm

Costco is Costco. For those who don’t know what that is, it’s a place where items you see in the grocery store are sold in larger, or bulk, quantities. Also, the buyers arrange to sell items from companies (usually just one piece in the line, so you don’t have any ability to select) at a good discount. It’s similar to BJs.
A couple reasons why this location gets a lower rating from me:
1) No beer/​wine/​alcohol. Part of what I love about Costco is their well-​curated wine selection at awesome prices. Not at this location, so BOO.
2) Unbelievably busy at peak hours. I get that they are PEAK hours, so duh, it will be busier than normal, but I’m talking 30 to 45 minutes to check out. That’s just insane.
3) The parking lot is stupid. I just can’t figure out what’s going on. My tactic is to park as far away as possible and walk.
4) Finally, I have found the people who work in restaurant (where Costco sells their silly-​cheap fro-​yo, pizza, and hot dogs) to be surly and mean. There’s just no need for that.

Costco is the best! The workers are friendly the prices at the snack station are incredible! There are samples spiradically around the store. They even have a car shop for different tire needs. If you need new tires go here! They have a great warantee policy (covers pothole damage) and it’s done in a few hours. Overall if you can’t find something at costco, you don’t need it!
Oh and you get 2% back if you use the costco american express.

This is one of the better costco locations b/​c of the volume of people there. It is a lot of people but for the most part they are as efficient as they can be.
As for the produce, I always have a problem with it. Also the cheeses etc. Everything goes bad so quickly or its close to its exp date.
Overall I like this costco location.

This is a costco like any other costco. Not much to say besides, it’s pretty clean ad organized here. It can get crowded at times, especially on weekends. One thing for sure, I go there hungry, come out feeling full. Yay for free samples!

Yay contacts!

Costco is the best place to buy food in bulk. During the afternoons, they always put out samples that you can taste. Most of the time they are delicious and I end up buying the product. The food court here is the best! They have churos, pizza, hot dog, and smoothies. The prices at the food court are inexpensive.
Unfortunately, they don’t sell any alcohol at this location and you need to head over to the Edison location.
The only downside is that you need to be a member to get in with an annual fee but if you eat a lot of food, it is totally worth it.

Avoid Sundays here if you know whats good for you! Its a mad house I tell you! Parents are like animals, trying to maul you over with their carts! Thank goodness im young and agile and I was able to dodge them like rad racer in a nintendo video game.
Anyways, Yeah You can get anything here, from eye contacts, to fresh and frozen foods, to alcohol, to clothes, vitamins, as well as car stuff… Try going here on weekdays where its not busy and you can walk around and enjoy shopping.
