Costco

I like Costco but I feel that they could probably manage their traffic a little better if they reorganized the entrance ! I love their pizza and my wife loves to go here to waste money lol over all it’s a good location

I love coming here, and I receive excellent service all the time. However, today was exceptional. I came to the tire center and worked with Ernie– he was fantastic, knowledgeable and attentive. The entire staff in the tire center were phenomenal and provided exceptional service. I needed four new tires, and I wanted to come somewhere that was reputable and where I was going to purchase good quality tires at an affordable price. Thank you, Ernie and team, for your outstanding service and knowledge. I’m one happy customer, and you will be too!

Worst experience at the food court ever!
I always call in for pizza orders to avoid the wait.
** I was informed it should take 30 minutes for my order, so I decided to walk around to see what else I needed. ***
OMG.
I came in to pay for my special order, half cheese half combo.
Cashier informed me it should be ready in 5 more minutes.
Paid for my order.
Ok, 5 more minutes.
While waiting in line at the Pick-​up window, I was informed it would take another 10 minutes.
Ok, 10 minutes isn’t that long.
Came to the pick-​up window, and THEY GAVE AWAY MY SPECIAL ORDER AT 5:15PM. This was at 6PM.
6:30PM at the pick-​up window. «I’m picking up for a 5:15PM special order under ***. Is it available yet?»
One of the other customers mentioned, «Oh, you’ve been waiting for [that]? I saw them giveaway the same order two seconds ago.»
I’m not the type to complain, but that was it for me. I asked for a manager in charge, but all he could offer me was to replace my order which would take another 30 minutes. WTF!!!
They need to get their system fixed. Whoever places an order on the phone shouldn’t wait!!! I’m so upset that I don’t wanna go back, but this location is the most convenient location before any family fathering on the weekends.
GET YOUR CRAP TOGETHER!

A typical Costco — busy on the weekends, so come during non-​peak hours. Food court gets very busy and lines can take a while. They move products around often to make you walk more through the aisles and pick up even more stuff you wouldn’t typically get. Some of their core team members have been there for years which is nice for continuity if you’re a regular.
They recently added several fueling stations. This has helped reduce the waiting time to fuel up significantly — nice move!

Driving south on 101, had to take the exit to refil gas and grab some snacks. Place was really creepy and not clean unlike other costco stores. On a friday afternoon the café was packed like a bee hive. Some benches are inside and couple more outdoor. Everything else is about the same.

I actually really like this costco location.
Always great staff and products.
However, today my son was standing in line for a waffle sample, first person waiting and I look over and the lady handed one to everyone but my son. I thought maybe because he needed me standing next to me. I stood next to him and the lady acted as if we were invisible and handed out a piece to everyone except us. One lady that walked up after us, asked the lady to give one to my son first before her otherwise she would not have.
Im pissed about it, not sure ifor it was a. prejudice racial thing but definilty wasn’t right and my son was really sad that he waited so patiently to be ignored.
Costco does not employ the handing out food samples as I talked to the manger about it but definitly something should be done.

Really like this Costco. Always know where the stuff I need is at. Clean store always have what I am looking for all in all great store

There is a private parking lot and you get food in bulk which is awesome.
I’ll come back for the food and service at the pharmacy is fast.
The reason this is a three star is the parking lot is a mess and the Costco gas lines slow everything down. Expect 30 – 45 min waits for gas and for people who cut you off. It needs improvement fast.
Cut out parking and the gas and you have a four star place.

All Costco’s are pretty much the same. Depending on what time/​day you decide to visit it may or may not be crazy busy. I usually go on Saturday mornings which is ridiculously busy, but I don’t mind it.
I live alone so I don’t tend to buy perishable foods in bulk but rather I get paper towels, toilet paper and such, basically things that don’t expire or foods I can freeze. Another good thing is that you are able to buy AMC movie tickets and gift cards for various restaurants and stores for a discounted price.
I like when they pass out free food samples (OF COURSE I do! I’m a fatty at heart!!), which is more frequent on the weekends. You can basically walk in hungry and leave full by trying various bites of food being passed out… as long as you can make it to the sample tray before they run out lol.
Parking is a little crazy, but it’s Costco so that is expected.

The store is fine but some of the products are not. I’m not sure who’s fault it is but this is the second time I’m getting same product, opening it at home same day as I bought it and it’s already gone bad. I can’t take it back. I have small kids and for me to drive back with them it’s a big deal. So I’m just tossing money down the garbage. Pretty sad…
I’m talking about simply fresh salads.

Gas prices are absolutely wonderful a must when I’m in the area.
Love all the products and quality.
My favorite place to shop.
Great customer service.
Affordable organic products a plus.
Wonderful return policy, I never have any issues.
Parking is always full but I never have an issue.
Great food even when I’m on a rush it’s very convenient to get a quick lunch and go.
Super!

Super clean, organized, and well stocked!
The employees are very friendly and helpful.
Parking is nuts on the weekend, but if you
come during the week over your lunch break,
you’ll be fine.
Costco Gas and full tire service at this location.
Came by around lunchtime on a Thursday and
the line for gas was not that bad!

I’ve been coming to this Costco since I was a little girl and never had I had a bad experience with the employees.
Customer service is great.
My Aunt, Mother and I were there on Sunday and were taken care of by Christian Bro. He was helpful, kind and smiled through our orders.
Usually on Saturdays and Sundays around 12 p.m. is when the crowd start showing up. I recommend to be an early bird and come in early if you can to avoid the crowd.

I don’t come to Costco to feel an extraordinary sense of customer service so my reviews would never be based on that. The parking is pretty much always going to suck so that’s not worth lamenting about either. I’ve been to most Costco’s in the valley and here’s what I like about this one because as you know, they do cater their inventory to the local demographics.
***Unique to this location***
Prepared Meals (Take and Bake)
–Ravioli Lasagna is delicious
–St. Louis Style Baby Back Ribs wow
Other
–Coco Libre Coconut water (the best. Other locations carry Vita Coco)
***Notable Favorites at Most Stores***
–Que Bueno Nacho Cheese (just like ballpark nachos)
–Fresh Chicken Noodle Soup
–Fresh Marguerita Pizza (mozza, basil, tomato, so essentially a caprese)
–Belgioioso Provolone Cheese
–Kirkland Strawberry Jam perfection
–3 big bottles saline solution for 8 bucks

Public Service Announcement — Costco will start accepting Visa Credit cards starting April 2016.
This the nearest Costco from my house and I dread going there every time. The parking alone is a nightmare, which makes me deduct a star, but everything else in the store is fantastic. The staff is super helpful and the food is always fresh. The store is ALWAYS very clean on consistent basis and everything is very well organized. This location also has a gas station with very cheap gas so it’s totally worth going there.

Costco is my all time favorite corporation. I often compare it to Walmart as night and day. Walmart of course being the worst corporation of all times, and Costco being the best =].
Costco is an «exclusive membership,» meaning you’d have to pay to shop here. My family has the executive membership which we pay $ 110.00 annually but the payoff 2% actually makes up for it.
Everything is «wholesale» prices (it’s not really wholesale), but it’s volume to price for it’s goods is not comparable to anywhere else. I have never been in a Sam’s Club so I can’t compare it to that, nor is there a Sam’s club anywhere within my vicinity.
This Costco features a food court like all Costco do, and it’s also super affordable! A hot dog normally goes for $ 1.50 and it comes with a fountain drink. You can not get any cheaper than that.
The parking lot is huge and you can always find parking (even if it’s far). This place also has a Costco gas station too, but that’ll normally take you forever to go through the long lines during work off hours.

I like Costco: the gas is affordable and so is everything else.
As usual, it can get crowded on the weekends. You will find parking somewhere.

I parked my car outside of Costco after an interview in the area. I’d remembered a fellow Unilocaler comment on how good and inexpensive the lil diner/​cafeteria was here. So, I thought I’d take him up on his suggestion. I walked into the store, and told the people I was here for the food, and they flagged me through and directed me towards the area. I fought my way through people, their carts, and their children until I found myself at the ass end of a line, leading up to the kitchen. It was loud with conversations of people. It was loud because of all the people waiting in line to pay for their items nearby. It was loud because of the screaming children vying for their parents attention. It was loud because of the assorted beeps and whirs of the machines running throughout the store. It was simply very, very loud in Costco.
I scanned their menu printed in giant above the window, and asked for a hot dog + beverage combo, and a slice of pizza. Girl behind the window handed me a cup, and a pair of aluminum wrapped items. The then took my card and swiped it at her nearby register. I then took my food, empty cup and made my way towards the fountain machines. I filled up my cup, and looked around. Screaming children with their families occupied all of the tables inside the cafeteria area. I decided to go outside, to their outdoors dining area they have set up.
I exited the place and this area was also fairly full. There were some empty seats, but all of the empty tables I walked past were covered with little bits off debris left by other eaters. Suddenly, I caught sight of a small lady, dressed in Costco garb cleaning up the tables with windex and a rag. I followed her, and hovered behind her as she cleaned an empty table. I quickly sat down at it. Empty and clean table. Check. I sat down my food and took my photo.
The food is decent. Not great, but certainly well worth the four dollars I had paid for it. The pizza was a bit soggy, but the hot dog was one of the big ones, and they’ve got spicy mustard to put on it. Well worth the money I paid for it. I tried to zone out some of the conversations around me as I ate my lunch, cleaned up after myself, and exited the super-​store.
Bonus Tip: Before entering, you really should remember exactly where you park your car. Because if you don’t, you’ve set the difficulty setting really high for your friendly game of ‘Find the car.’

If you’re coming to Costco you either have a big family, own a small business or are just an all around bargain shopper. They pretty much have all the household goods and staples that you’re gonna need like eggs, milk, juice, cereals, meats. Then there’s the things you wouldn’t necessarily think about which are things like pillows, towels, socks, t-​shirts, watches, toothpaste and doormats.
Expect long lines but they usually move rather fast at this location. I don’t know what else I can say about this place because it’s really convenient if you need to shop in bulk or if you’re just stopping in to buy hot whole chicken for $ 5 bucks!

Review 21
I can’t review this location based on anything other than inventory. They always have the Costco staples as I call them: eggs, OJ, milk, beer, wine, breads, meats, veggies etc… The staff is always ready to walk you to the item you’re looking for if you ask.
The food court is indoors with a patio, in those really hot days your happy to have an option to eat inside a cold warehouse. The fueling station is like any other Costco: get there at 6am and you won’t wait in line. Anytime after that it’s your choice if it’s worth the savings, in my case of 30 gallons I move to another gas station.
Parking can be harsh, be patient and watch for those who will take your parking spot you waited for 10min.
Plan B.
