Costco is amazing. I must look a little strange to other people when I come to Costco because 80% of the time I walk out with 2, maybe 3 items. I don't necessarily need to make the trip sometimes, but I'm pretty much just looking for a reason to go.
One problem I have with Costco is more of a personal problem than a problem with Costco. I love their pizza and frozen yogurt too much. It's too good and every time I walk into Costco I am always battling myself about whether or not I should walk out with a goodie. This point was not factored into my rating of Costco.
Alright, so the first REAL problem I have with Costco is that buying fruit from them is always risky. There is absolutely no consistency with the quality of products they get in and you have to be really diligent about checking what you're grabbing. I must look like a loon when I spin my grapes around so that I can check and make sure there is absolutely no mold. I have a process down that reduces the risk, but I have had their fruit turn on me a day after I bought it. Actually, I've seen them stock fruit that's already expired or that already have mold on it. Bad form Costco, bad form.
Another problem I have is the parking lot at this particular location. I always tell someone that I'm going to Costco and that if they don't hear from me within 3 hours then they should start calling the hospitals. This parking lot is a death trap. There are many blind curves that people come whipping around and there are practically no speed bumps so people are driving closer to 25-30 mph rather than 10-15mph. I've actually had to jump out of the way of a speeding car before. Thank god I was carrying my customary 2 items and didn't have a cart.
