Costco

I love going to this Cosco until those ladies at the photo printing department being so rude to me, ugly and rude!

A Costco that I go to frequently, since it is near my home. They always seem to have whatever I need. And as of late they’ve been having sales of items 10%-15% off. Which is very nice. One and a while an employee may ask if they can assist you, but no one hounds you, which i believe makes shopping that much easier; especially if you’re only going in for a couple of items and you’re in a time crunch.

I love their hot dogs! They usually have alot of people working to keep the lines going which is nice, The parking is terrible and a few of the people need to work on having a better attidude but i’ll be back. This time with my own membership.

Doesn’t everyone know what to expect at Costco? They’ve been around long enough.
This is a fairly typical Costco. Big warehouse of a buiding surrounded by a big, yet still fairly full (even at about 1 in the afternoon on a Thursday) parking lot. The parking lot also has a gas station in it. I know people who buy all their gas at Costo and have had no problems.
The store itself is large. It has the usual wide variety of stuff. I found a nice super soft throw blanket and a great deal on LED light bulbs. The food area always has deals and even thursday afternoon there were some samples to be tried.
For the best deals you have to buy a huge amount of stuff. I went with a friend and we split some stuff. The prices are usually good. I found some beige Calvin Klien pants for $ 20 and as always I bought some of the Steak Strip Jerky… so good!
If they had better food in their food court I might even give them a fifth star.

Get’s super busy Saturdays.
Has gas station.
First Friday/​Saturday of each month is the Seafood roadshow.

I am Disabled and not once ever have my Husband or I found avail. Parking in the Permitted areas. My Husband will have to stop by the front to let me out. And than Park, sometimes very far in the back. At times, it would be nice to expand more spaces to the permitted slots. This Costco is Never slow. There are People waiting in line for the doors to open everyday. Nice clean warehouse, friendly staff and helpful always.

COSTCO hasn’t changed in as long as i’ve been shopping with them.
The Parking Lot is still a «Zoo».
Walking from your parking spot to the store is still a «Live Or Die» situation. Please pay attention as you walk. People want out of that lot in a bad way.
You’ll feel it also when your done shopping.
They still have really inexpensive snacks and covered seating out front. (I would advise buying eats elsewhere. «Cheap Eats» in this case isn’t worth the calories /​heartburn.)
They still have good deals and some great products.
They still have a large variety of goods and services. Such as a Tire Service Center.
An Eye Care Center.
Computers.
T.V.‘s large and small.
Housewares. Clothes. Food. Ect. Ect. Ect.
The store is still full of people on a mission and some good deals.
In a larger household like mine, you must battle things in life for those you love.
COSTCO, you are a mighty foe of food and savings.
I will see you again.

I just re-​joined Costco for the first time in a few years, and this being the closest Costco to my home, was my re-​introduction. And it wasn’t nearly as painful an experience as I had steeled myself for. Sure, the place is tucked WAY back behind a bunch of other retail and strip-​malls, so unless you really know where it is, you’ll blow right past the street you have to turn onto to get there.
The parking lot is massive, and I ended up parking a full minute’s walk from the entrance. Once I got inside, the staff at the membership desk were very helpful and friendly, and the checkout lines were no more than 4 – 5 people deep.
The store layout is a bit odd, but not frustrating. I managed to cover pretty much the whole place (skimming right past whole aisles that were full of junk-​food I’d never buy) in 20 mins or less. The sample tables seemed a bit undewhelming from what I had seen in previous years, but that’s not why I go.
Overall, a good experience, though I doubt I will be there more than once a month.

Not much to be said as I’m sure everyone is familiar with Costco but if you’re living with a bunch of people or have a big family this is your go to place to buy goods.
You buy in bulk and can buy anything from toilet paper to hot pockets to steak.
You can also buy gas which is cheaper than almost everywhere if you’re a member. I recommend!

I really like the prices and Costco but I can’t stand the line. The food is cheap and really good but again the lines are really not fun. OK now I will tell you how to get a pizza and avoid the entire line. Call ahead and order your pizza and u can skip the crazy line. So cool. The 1800 number is on the side of the building.

Newcomers to Portland may find themselves surprised when they witness the dearth of big-​box stores and food franchises within the city. There are few I miss though I tend to think the same social forces motivating this for good can often be misguided in its move towards pleasantry and perfection.
Of the Costco locations available on the east side of the Willamette, this must be the prettiest. The lot is seemingly surrounded by trees. I visited on a weekday, middle-​of-​day, and the lot was ~80% full. Gasoline was inexpensive and mandatory.
They go to great lengths to ensure homogenization and standardization across locations, so although I have not been inside a Costco in several months and have never visited any within Oregon, this was pretty much in-​line with everything I expected in terms of offerings, store layout and aesthetics, prices generally, and the sampling. I found the familiar favorites within minutes and enjoyed my walk around the store, stopping occasionally to try one of the many offered food samples. The staff at this location, as with most, were incredibly helpful and maintained full-​time friendliness.
As always, I ended up spending way more than intended, purchasing items I had never intended on purchasing but that I believe I cannot live without… Ugh, Costco! I love you, I hate you…
Recommended!

It was weird seeing a food court outside~
The service at the cashier was fine except they had issues when checking my parents out. My parents had to straighten out a problem after cashing out and it took a long time. I’m glad I didn’t have any troubles with my transaction.

Back up to a 4. I thought about it, and I came up with 4 reasons to bump them up to 4 stars:
1) what’s in the parking lot — each space has a striped zone between it and the adjacent space to reduce the likelihood of door dings + a gas station where they sell what is considered Top Tier gasoline, possibly furnished by Tesoro, and it is quite a bit less per gallon than Chevron … slightly over 25 cents a gallon less today. I think that the fuel injectors should be fine if you alternate filling up at Costco and at one of the majors. The attendants working there work quickly and have good attitudes.
2) tires — Michelins and «soft sell» approach.
3) clothing — some good things every now and then — a CK all cotton long sleeve gingham shirt for under $ 20, some brushed denim jeans at around $ 17, and some DKNY jeans (with disco-​looking rear pockets) and some more popular Levi’s (the real deal) jeans at really good prices.
4) food court — from a 59 cent refillable drink to a $ 1.50 dog and drink to a $ 2.99 chicken bake to a few items I hadn’t seen before … located outside.
I know the rest of you have your Costco pet peeves and Costco pet purchases (rotisserie chicken, eggs, meats, cheeses, bulk, etc.), so, factoring in those other things I don’t buy, it’s most likely a 4.

I didn’t realize I’d not written a review! I usually just go here for gas. Once in awhile for glasses, t.p., and laundry detergent. As a single person. have to be careful in here! I was very very happy today to see more organic sustainable products. Wild caught albacore tuna, like they sell at New Seasons for half the price. I was impressed. Eco detergent… and even vegan and gluten free options. There is still a loto f crap there… but still I noticed a difference. Good for you Costco!

You can’t beat The prices here if you have a Costco membership. They also have coupon deals every once in while which are great!
They have their own ophthalmologists for eye testing on site by appointment only which are extremely reasonable in price.
They have a «take a number system». This is inside Costco and is extremely busy on weekends. I would suggest if at all possible do not go on the weekends.
There is a large selection of designer frames to choose from if you’re an eyeglass wearer. Designers such as Ray-​Ban, Oakley, Tom Ford, Karen Kane, Maui Jim, Guess, Furla and so on.
They also had sunglasses and kids eyewear.

Costco. Enough said!
You’ll head inside the store to pick up your two items that you needed but you’ll leave with four items or an entire cart full!
You’ll need at least $ 100 bucks in the wallet to leave this store.
The employees are always friendly and it seems they truly enjoy their job.
Went for two things tonight and spent $ 300+. Yes!
Food Center with decent food. Cheap
Fuel center too!

I do love me some Costco. Granted, if you go at the wrong time you’ll have to deal with the people who leave their cart in the middle of the aisle as they gaze distractedly at the 30 different varieties of tortilla chips. But if you go at the right time — pure, unadulterated big box heaven!
My qualm with Portland stores is they don’t sell hard alcohol but that’s a state thing, not a Costco thing. The great thing about Costco is they have some decent organics (some corporate, some smaller operations) and healthy stuff.

There’s very little room for a review of Costco. It’s pretty self explanitory and they’re always nice, regardless of which Costco you go to.
The only thing I don’t like about this Costco is the dining area/​deli place. Unfortunately, it’s outside, unlike a lot of the other Costcos… so you’ll freeze your balls off if you’re not under one of the awesome space heaters they have hanging from the ceiling.

I love Costco so I’m pretty bias bout them. I’d say this one is better than the one in Portland simply because it’s not as crowded. If you’ve been to the Costco on 138^th, you know it’s a complete zoo!!!
This one is a little harder to get to and for us, it was a quick in and out. In terms of Costco’s, this one is on the normal side, no fancy truffles, or fancy paintings (I’m talking to you Awesome Danville, CA Costco) but if you like Costco like i do, you’ll enjoy this one.

It’s easy to hate on Costco. It may as well be consumerism at its worst with products from Monsanto, nutty weekend crowds, and shopping hysteria on the bulk end, but people still keep coming back. Why? Because this is the shining standard of all Costcos, with friendly employees, crowd control, awesome inventory, and plenty of parking.
Here’s a few more reasons:
* Clean. Really clean: I’m talking about the floors, the organized cardboard, the neat aisles, bathrooms, and even the food court. I’ve seen some gnarly versions of all the aforementioned before at other locations, so hats off to Clackamas.
* Efficient service: The register people are fast. Employees manning other departments are helpful. Even the customer service folks dealing with accounts and returns are easy to work and interact with. This is so huge.
* Gas station: Sure, other Costcos have low priced gas as well but this one does all that with few lines during the weekend and/​or lunch hour. Combine that with full service gas attendants (Oh Oregon), and suddenly this gets pretty fun.
Then of course, there is the insanity of every day products offered in bulk and countless electronics and even a mild jewelry selection. It’s not perfect for just any wholesale store, but for the standards of Costco and the other locations beyond, it is about as good as it gets.
