| - This is a nice Costco, that doesn't seem to be as busy as the North Hayden location.
The Costco model is simple enough to understand. Whatever they pay, you pay that price, plus 14%. How's simple is that? If you choose to be an Executive Member ($110), over the $55 a year Gold Star (individual), you receive another 2% as a rebate at the end of the year. We have been members of both over the last twenty years, depending if we are going to make a large purchase. BTW, you can switch to Executive at any time. Just pay the extra $55.00 at Customer Service.
Granted both Costco and Sam's Club (Walmart) are competing for the same customers. My experience has been that you are usually a fan and dedicate to your Wholesale Club over another. Though members of BJs back east are the most fanatical. I have found, that you will also believe to your last breath, as Yelp'er Andre E says, that your Club has: " Great Deals....clean aisles.....Great Service....reliable products....Great customer Service." It's almost takes on an religious article of faith!
All of Costco's Kirkland brand products are execellant. I have found their Wine section to be unparalleled. In the past Costco has sued various States to get the lowest price for it's Members.
BTW, I try coming only during off hours. This helps to minimize the nonsense that Yelp'er Marisa S wrote about that goes on in the parking lot. Sadly, civility tends to go out the window when you are looking for a parking space. Just watch any Seinfield episode. LOL
Currently, Tuesdays @ 10:30 or 11 am seem to be the best time. I just take an early lunch.
Enjoy, and drive carefully!
