The associates are the best!! This spring a customer lacking heart, a lick of common sense or a function brain left his dog in his van. A manager was notified. I'm sorry to say this was not something new to her. She came to the vehicle armed with a thermometer gun. The internal temp was 98 degrees while outside we were enjoying a 75 degree afternoon. Bravo to Costco for caring!
Navigating Costco while samples are being handed out is quite difficult at times. A 15 minute trip for 7 items means being hijacked at an intersection if you fail to plan your path properly. I imagine a sarcastic narration as three shoppers battle for cart space to claim 1/2 inch servings of something that looks like a pop tart. Oh how I wish samples did Not help sell product.
Meats are fresh! Produce is often superior to what I find in my favorite grocery store. The fluffy rugs they keep selling look like crap in a year but dang they look and feel so good to start with! Could a purchase come with replacement vouchers? Those plush Dog toys Costco carried were so neat.... UNTIL you quit carrying them. The paleo bread Costco carried was a saving grace to my health conscious non wheat non oat eating daughter... Until you quit carrying it.
I hear SAMs Club carries nifty stuff too. Please don't quit carrying my favorite snack food or cookies... Oh wait... You did!
The people who work at Costco are great! They always try to help find endangered items and offer hope in the way of letting us know that something to replace it is expected to be in stock....eventually. They care but they are not Gods and Goddesses of merchandising, procurement and distribution.
The meats are good!
