| - Love Costco! Clean store, friendly employees (if you can find any; it is difficult to find people to help you find stuff), and good benefits. You can only buy stuff with cash or American Express in the store, but this is just another way they keep prices down.
Lines are long on the weekends, but if you come at off-peak times you can make your way through the store fairly quickly. Staff is knowledgeable and there is a ton of selection of products. The quality of the food here is higher than other clubs and sometimes you can get things here that you can't get in a normal grocery store. Watermelons are great, produce in the refrigerated section is fresh, and they have a huge selection of wine and alcohol ranging from cheap to expensive. Meats are fresh and even salmon is often fresh and odorless.
Unfortunately some products that become favorites are only seasonal or only carried for a limited time, but sometimes if you talk to the management they can get the products back in the store.
Gas is inexpensive and high quality, you get cash back with the Costco Amex (you can only pay for gas with Costco cards or a PIN debit card). Once again, you can expect a high quality with Costco products, and if you ever have a problem, their customer service is fantastic. The employees care about their guests and you can tell they are treated well by the company.
Thumbs up!
