rev:text	Advice for any Costco I've ever been at: avoid Saturdays if at all possible - and if required, go right when they open. It's a warehouse club store - one of the most iconic to the point that I've had visitors from abroad (one set from China and one from Australia) explicitly state that they wanted to go check out a Costco. We arrived at around 2 pm on a Saturday to hunt for a blood pressure monitor for my parents (oh the ironies; they thought selection here might be better than what's available closer to home in Kitchener - it isn't). I can't really blame Costco, since this is a warehouse store and they operate on volume with lower margins, but there were no clerks to be found on the floor (they wear bright red vests - if they were there, they should have been easy to find). Perhaps they were hiding? I wouldn't blame them. This place was incredibly busy. Remarkably the lineups weren't too bad though nor deep - all checkout counters were open (maybe that's where all the clerks were?). We were also hunting for a few other unusual items like a bathroom scale but gave up looking as we wanted to do grocery shopping in Toronto. This is definitely not a place to go for a fast in and out. That said, they generally have good prices, though I would note that being in the market for tires at the moment, their tires seem to be almost double in price relative to Tirerack the website purchased and cleared from the US after duties, customs and everything. Costco has a number of services that you might not expect like an optical for glasses and contacts, kitchen corian countertops, credit card processing for a business and website hosting services (though you can definitely shop online for better deals online for hosting). If I have one suggestion it would be to come to this place when you have time to get a feel for what they offer and the prices in which they offer them. They're not always the best deals - especially for groceries (vs say Asian grocers) but their quality is consistent and generally offering better brands. Oh and whatever you do, avoid shopping here on Saturdays! (and as someone else noted, they only accept American Express)
