Costco

Always busy. Especially when the snow birds/​old people are here for the winter. Though, speaking of old people. Holy crap they just block every aisle in the store. Let me just grab my stuff and go. My nephew can crawl faster than them.

I love Costco, and this location is a breath of fresh air compared to Orange County, where Costco is jammed from open to close. Here if you come in the first hour or so after opening, even on weekends, it’s smooth sailing. The people are great. The return policy is awesome. We bought some fish that turned out to be spoiled. I couldn’t bring it back to the store because it smelled so bad. Next time I went to the return counter, expecting they wouldn’t give me a refund because I hadn’t brought the product back. «Hey this is Costco,» said the rep, as he cheerfully processed my refund.
But what was up with the lady who helped us recently at the membership counter? David and I were talking to her about a change we wanted to make in our membership. We were both talking, but not at the same time. She said, in a less than pleasant tone, «I can’t help you if you both talk at once». Really? Later, while she was busy on the computer, I was showing him the list of executive member benefits, to make the point that we wouldn’t really use those so no need to upgrade. «Those are not part of your membership!» she interrupted. Yes thank you, I knew that.

Purchased patio furniture. Asked a question about help. No one was available. Had to load alone. No help. All would not fit and had to leave some behind to make another trip. Have to find someone else to help. Everyone kept pointing me to someone else. Terrible experience.

Same thing as every other Costco only difference being bad customer service. Gas is the only perk but still expect to wait in long lines just like in entrance.

Always super busy. They never have all the check out lanes open?
Other Costcos have self checks.
Why dont they do an express lane for small purchases.
You can’t neat the $ 1.50 dog an drink deal

My favorite store ever! I buy everything at Costco, and if I ever had a problem they just give me my money back. Bulk purchases required management of time and storage, but the quality is great!

Got some lobster and snow crab legs tonite… both were tasty but do watch out… crab meat was very salty… high recommend… each lobster was about 7 to 8 dollars each. Precooked… medium sized n good value…

This Costco location is pretty much like every other Costco location: a cavernous warehouse filled with jumbo-​sized containers of just about every consumable product a person might ever want or need. This location does, however, get crazy-​busy during the «season,» when the snowbirds make their way back into town. If you go here on a Saturday morning/​afternoon in December, you might still be in the checkout line on Sunday afternoon. And forget about getting anywhere in the vicinity of the lady handing out creampuff samples!
So, go as early in the morning — during the week — as possible, grab your $ 20 1.75-ml bottle of Kirkland vodka (aka Grey Goose), and get out; that’s what I do.

Joined after a long Costco hiatus because we had heard good reviews about their optical department. And though you don’t have to be a member to use the optical department, we rejoined to take advantage of other Costco items we have missed. The optical Dept. AIDS were VERY friendly and professional. The prices were fabulous! The icing on the cake… both pairs of glasses were of the highest quality! And the AIDS fit us perfectly. Will not go anywhere else from now on.

So I ordered a pizza and asked for a side of pizza sauce, this has NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM, 3 fucking supervisor to ask if I can get one? Seriously? Holding up the line I just left. Not good customer service especially when 1 of the girls gave me attitude saying they measure stuff. It’s a damn scoop. No worries you lost all off me and family business. I’ll shop at la Quinta where they’re not rude as hell

Costco gas is the best!

I love Costco, the membership is ideal and the employees are always super friendly. They also hold great deals and the coupon book is super helpful. The gas price is one of the cheapest you can find around the towns, if you’re not a constant hound on gas spikes.
Getting your shopping done during lunch hours is the best, because they have abundant samples. It’s not only tasty, but enticing to shoppers since it’s like interactive advertising. It’s a smart idea because people tend to buy more food when they are hungry, so while the samples satisfy our tastebuds Costco gets more sales.
Cleanliness is a big factor, and the aisles are usually clear if trash or spills. The bathrooms have the normal expected outcome of a public bathroom. Even the food court is mostly void of spilt condiments and dropped food.

Bougut diabetic test strips, one touch ultra blue at Costco and thought the price seems high at $ 132, then check the Amazon and realized Costco was 52 dollars more for the same item, callback Costco pharmacy to inquire about this they said that’s the price and I can’t return it because it’s a diabetic supply even though it had not been opened please do your homework before assuming costco has the best price for these things

Whatever you do don’t ever forget your id here you’ll be waiting on Bev and Robert the manager forever!

The store is always packed but worth the trip for the big shopping

(Filled-​up 04÷20÷15 M @ 10:00am): Conveniently off the I-​10 freeway and centrally located among the desert communities, this place was always a sight for cheap gas!
A friend pointed out this Costco Gasoline station in Palm Desert on our way to Coachella a couple years ago. Thankfully, I remembered it as I prepared to head back to reality after a blissful weekend of music and people-​watching. I believed this was the last time I filled-​up while prices were still under $ 3.00/gallon as they have since nearly skyrocketed to $ 4.00. Here’s to affordable gas!:
87 Unleaded Gas ($ 29.00) — I still had about a ¼-​tank left, but this location was nearby and along the freeway home, so why not fill-​up instead at higher prices later?! It was just three other cars and myself, so I simply pulled into the far right lane and pumped away. After 10.14 gallons of gas at $ 2.85/gallon, my baby was under the influence of inexpensive gas and ready to leave the desert for our hipsterhood!
Service — Unless there was something wrong with the pump you were at, the machine was out of receipt paper, or your Costco membership card wasn’t working, it was all self-​service. And, the pumps flowed pretty fast.
Parking (Free) — None specifically for the gas station, but plenty once you drove away and headed towards the actual warehouse where they had a massive private lot.
Atmosphere, décor, ambience — This was a small gas station with narrow aisles and short lanes which didn’t really allow if you needed to pass by cars. It had a total of 16 pump stations (four columns with four pumps each). However, no soapy suds, squeaky squeegees, paper towels, and air or water stations — just like all other Costco gas stations I’ve been to. But, there were places to dump any trash you had. The pump stations were completely covered from the elements unless a hurricane or tornado headed towards you. There was only one way to enter/​exit, but be careful there wasn’t much space to maneuver once you pulled into the gas station area. There was plenty of natural lighting during the day and appeared like fluorescent lighting at night. There were no TVs or background music.
Attire — Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-​shirt, boardshorts, and flip-​flops.
Overall, the Palm Desert location of Costco Gasoline was now my go-​to gasser whenever I made my annual trek to Coachella not only because of the prices but for its location… location…location. The only con was the lack of space once you entered into the area as I imagined traffic piled up when it ever got real busy. I found exceptionally good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (total paid experience was around $ 29.00; no tip required). And they accepted my credit card of choice (the only card accepted unless you used a debit card)…AMEX! 4.5 STARS

Who doesn’t love Costco? This location is clean, organized and makes delicious pizza. I’ve never had a hard time finding here even on a busy day and their gas station is right next to the freeway, so it’s perfect on my way out of town!

This store is so much cleaner and easier to get around than is the Costco on 111 in La Quinta. Everyone here speaks English!
Oddly most of the customers are elderly however here than the Costco on 111 and by far more rude. They act as if they’re the only one shopping. I must use oxygen and I am confined to an electric wheelchair and the elderly race to get in front of me or run into me at the crosswalks! Can you believe?!

I used to have a Costco membership. I hardly used it because I did not need to buy so many items in bulk, but their liquor and prescription meds were usually the best price around. The staff at the pharmacy has always been great and very helpful. Never really had any issues in the past 10 years going there. On a good note, if you didnt know, you do not need a membership to get prescription meds or alcohol. Works out great for me and a few other friends have started going there too for meds. And when they tell you it will be 30 minutes, go try out the samples they got around the store, makes the whole experience useful and tasty. :-)

Get your Hot Dogs and Polish for a buck and a half with a fountain beverage. ok lets be honest… WE ALL LOVE THE COSTCO FOOD COURT! For the fact that we have a desire to get great deals with good food and have it be something that makes us happy all at the same time.
Well this is the joint to do it. They have all the typical Costco Food Court items. Cash only, dont say that I didnt warn you.
Personally I go for the pizza or polish pretty much without fail when I am at any Costco Food Court world wide. YUM! They also have the froyo, churros, turkey melts, etc etc etc.
This is my favorite chain restaurant I think. Well if you can call it a restaurant haha… none the less its great tasting, filling, and has everything that you could want from the typical Costco Food Court. its has a nice sized seating area, plenty of easy access to the drink fountains, hot/​polish dog condiment bar etc…
well the grub was tasty as it always is and we were able to pop off and back on the freeway quickly and easily, what more perfect kinda place do you want?
