Show up earlier than Saturday afternoon. That is the fact. We showed up on Saturday afternoon mostly because we're lazy and slept in but did need to get some groceries.
Here's the thing about Costco... I like the prices and the meat department. I hate the line-ups. There are always line-ups at this Costco. The next closest one is probably 30 minutes away and would be just as busy.
The other think i don't like is the fact that they squeeze the check-outs so close together. You literally are butt to butt with the customer at the next check-out. You have to stagger yourself with them so you are not touching. I hate it and I'm not claustrophobic.
With that i can only give a 2 star... more things i don't like than things i like.
