| - This costco is horrible!!
It is one of the most-packed costcos of l i f e. That's why I avoid at all costs, except when I'm dragged there for shenanigans.
The 2 good parts: the food and the photo development area.
The photo department is always efficient and quick, and I don't age in the line like I do in the line to pay.
The food is cheap as hell, $1.50 for a hotdog AND refillable drink?! Come here to eat if you're looking for a cheap tummy filler.
I've got to say.. the deals at costco are not even that great. Once in a blue moon, you'll come across something semi-good. Other than that.. meh? The abundance of straight-off-the-boat pushy mainlanders grabbing freebies from the sample tables make me reevaluate my entire visit.
The workers are ruder than anything you can ever encounter.
My friend was asked for her ID when she wanted to try a sample because 'you can't have one without parental consent'. Wow.. my friend was 19 at the time. ID for a sample?! You've got to be kidding me.
Also, once I went there with gift cards from my mother and attempted to buy groceries. I was asked for a membership, which I did not have- however, you are still allowed to purchase, you just need a manager to override the transaction if you plan on buying things without the scan of a membership ID. The worker rudely told me she can't do it, and then when she found out I wasn't completely ignorant like most of the people they boss around, she got all pissy and said "now I have to get a manager..." She made it seem like I had ruined her whole day... Another time I've tried to go in to get a hot dog for lunch while my mom walked in the other side with her membership and the blonde lady 'Tammy' that checks receipts quickly rushed to me as if she were defending the doors to the world's secrets. She gave me a dirty look when I told her my mom went through the other side and said I had to go with her or I can't go in. (Which I confirmed later, that you can indeed go into a costco just to get food without a membership.. so, what are you even talking about?) Tammy then made comments and said "Call your mom." ...Excuse me? I'm 22 and my mother does not even have a cell phone- she certainly made me feel like a child. Also, even if I called my mom, what would that prove? Couldn't she just lie and say she was inside already? What the hell. I was pissed at this point and gave tammy the 'talk to the hand' and said "Whatever. I'll go through the other way." and as I walked to the other side and followed my mom, who was still visible from the entrance, Tammy had the audacity to follow me while saying "Get her to come here", which I completely ignored. She followed me until I weaved my way back to the food booth and then she finally returned to her original position. On the way out, I made sure to obnoxiously take a bite of my hot dog in front of her while walking out. Hah. She was making faces, pointed at me and whispered something to the other 'defender of the costco doors'. Real professional and mature, ladies.
Worst customer service of life- they are unprofessional and will talk smack about you in front of you. Eg. "Why is this dumb customer's items in her cart still? Does she not know anything?" - these were true words I've heard while I was in line behind some lady the cashiers were talking about.
AVOID.
