Costco

It’s Costco and like every other Costco. I only give them 3 stars because you can’t use a visa card there. (I hear they will have that fixed in April.) I’ll do a reevaluation in April I guess.

I hate this Store. I will never go there again.
Don’t wear red bandannas into this store because there is supposed to be «a history» about red bandannas, and if you don’t know that and from out of town, how is someone supposed to know that? If I had worn my Cherokee turban that is specific to us as Cherokee, I suppose they would have asked me to leave; maybe or maybe not.
If you go there, some employees are very friendly and nice; other employees are rude and ignorant. Managers are the same way.

I LOVE Costco. My daughter hates shopping but loves to go here for the free samples! The staff is always friendly and any time I buy something and am not completely happy with it I have no trouble returning it. They have the best prices on things like organic milk, veggie trays, and paper towels!

Having been a loyal customer of Costco’s for years, I can tell you not many retailers, along with the warehouse chains, take care of their customers as good as Costco does. Not only does Costco generally stock the premium brands and the organics more than their competitors, their return policies are among the best in any business. They even bend the rules when certain items may be in question, and I’ve really NEVER had a bad experience with this store or any other. The CEO is also someone I admire for the way he runs his company and treats his employees, and it trickles down to the customer experience. Brilliance. Having read some of the other reviews that weren’t so polite… most of your issues are completely avoidable or are more of a personal nature that the store really isn’t impacting… try to be objective here.

I love Costco and shop them everywhere I go.
This Costco is «my» Costco.
It is clean bright well stocked and full of friendly people.
We all know about the bargains and the pricing and that is why I started coming to Costco but it was the quality and values that bring me back over and over again.
Prime steaks are amazing and I am surprised by just how good their choice steaks are. Very close in quality.
My wish for this Costco is that they would increase the selection in the wine and liquor area. If I want a great selection I have to go downtown KC to get the really good stuff.
One thing I give this Costco over others (and I think they are all good at this) is this location really stands out with great people. From greeter to wine, meat, vegetables, frozen food, to check out the people are so friendly and helpful.

This rating is for the optical department. As a whole I’d give the store a 4 star but the service that my family and I received when selecting glasses was personable, polite, friendly and way more than I had ever expected. The guy that help us took the time to care.

Had a really bad experience. Customer Service tells me one tthing, the store tells me another. should probably work that out.

I don’t have a huge problem with Costo in general, except that they only take American Express credit cards. But the people in the optical department are very rude. I’m not talking about the optometrist who checked my eyes, but the people outside her office. I have dealt with them three times, and each time they had a bad attitude, both in person and on the phone.

Costco’s Business Plan is one I can happily endorse. They pay decent wages to their employees and treat them with respect and STILL manage to make a profit, even though they sell many good, name brand products for less than you can buy them in other local stores.
Customers should still do their ‘homework’ and be sure that the price is competitive but that is a good habit to practice no matter where you shop.
Favorite things to buy include fresh berries, whole roasted coffee beans, milk, eggs and sour dough bread, but we periodically need to stock up on other staples as well.
I should mention that the only credit card they will accept is American Express.
Here is a Good Rule to Live By: NEVER shop for groceries when you are hungry. Impulse buying can wreck your budget. Today, Hubby and I went out to Costco for a few items we had written on a list in advance. Half way to the store, Hubby said «I’m getting kind of hungry» and I realized that it was an hour after lunchtime and I was hungry too. Rather than turn around and go home, I suggested we get something at the snack bar in the front of the store. We’ve been members for over a year and a half and never done that before. But I knew that our daughter and her family have eaten there and they are much more picky eaters than Hubby and I are.
Hubby got a brisket sandwich. The bun looked very tasty and Hubby said it was a filling sandwich. I wanted to try a Hot Dog and fountain drink for only a $ 1.50. That dog was juicy and flavorful and not a skimpy size either — it filled the bun and then some. I requested sauerkraut, which comes in a cup and dressed the dog with chopped onion, pickle relish and deli mustard. It was a great hot dog! Especially when you factor in the cost. And it’s almost like Costco is helping their customers live by the Good Rule to never shop for groceries when you are hungry. Thanks Costco!

Going to Costco is kind of a recurring nightmare. I avoid it whenever possible. Luckily, this visit (holiday weekend) they had pretty much every check out lane open and seemed to be really ready to get customers in and out in a hurry. It’s nice to go to a busy business and have them actually seem prepared for being open during a rush.

Sundays are crazy, people as in customers need to be a lot more polite. If you are reading this and asking who is he referring to, you are more than likely who I am referring too.
Every single one of the employees are nice, especially Mercedes and Veronica only exception is one of the cashiers his name is Brian, absolutely not a friendly person.
This store is surprisingly always clean and well stocked even with the amount of foot traffic

This is not my steady Costco– the one I have a relationship with. This is not my dirty mistress Costco– the one I go to on the side.
This is the random stranger Costco– I was in the neighborhood and needed to stop at the liquor store. Almost in unison, my wife and I both said, «oh! we should go to Costco!»
This store is like the others. Clean and well organized. The staff are hard working, but still friendly.
There are awesome values depending on what you are there for. I picked up a bottle of Tito’s for the low-​low. I also got a sweet deal on RumChata. There were deals to be had on wine too. Sokol Blosser wines are discounted by a few dollars a bottle here.
Just like any other Costco trip, do your best not to impulse buy. On this visit I picked up a giant package of double A batteries. I did steer clear of the Levis for daddy and the dresses for my princess. Yay me!

Always clean Men’s Room! Such a rarity!
Always great meats at Costco. We stock up for that and certain other items. One of the complaints I have is they never sample the right things. Please… I know what ham and chicken nuggets taste like. But I might buy that 20 pound bag of tamales if I knew they were good.

I found myself getting a Costco card when I wanted dates and organic extra virgin coconut oil by bulk.
That is the main reason I got the membership. But I discovered the produce area, and I love it. I love the organic selection, and organic food and spices. Also great prices on electronics. I got a good price on a tablet bundle.
The weekend samples were just fair, not many. I was surprised about that. Sam’s has that beat. But I appreciate the amount of organic products, spices and some produce available when I was there, for samples. I think I liked the Lenexa Costco better than this one, but then again, my main reasoning for Costco are the dates and coconut oil.
But oh, the dang line to get your receipt stamped after you pay, when exiting the store. There’s often 20 people in line, and it goes slow.

Prices good. Products good. The lines are waaay to long. 10 people in line to check out. 20 people in line for a hot dog. At noon on a thursday. Your business is doing well now HIRE more workers!!!

I could write about how much I love this Costco for days and days. I love the facility, I love the variety of products they offer, I love their customer service, I love their Hearing Center, Photo Center, Vision Center, I love their samples, I love their organic and vegetarian selections, I love their discounted gas. I LOVE THIS PLACE.
And on that note, I am not ashamed to admit that this is quite a place for a lovely little date night. Yup, that’s right — Costco is a fun place to go for lunch or dinner. Their little café boasts that most DELICIOUS cheese pizza… HUGE, cheesy, warm, thick-​crusted, and best of all… $ 1.99! And don’t forget their churros, smoothies, and ice cream bars. They also serve chicken salads, chicken bakes, and Hebrew National hot dogs with a fountain drink for $ 1.50. Don’t want the hot dog? No worries — the unlimited sodas are $.59. Cash only at their café; AMEX, check, or debit card at other check-​outs, only.
So, from one vegetarian to possible others — now you really can’t complain that there is no place to eat in the KC area. Even Costco has options — and delicious ones, at that!

Have to start off by saying that their parking spaces are the perfect size. Big! Don’t have to worry about door dings here.
Costco is great for bulk purchases and their selection varies. Currently, they have Bushmills Irish Whiskey for $ 14.97 which is about six dollars cheaper than the grocery store.
