| - It's important to have high expectations for Costco's. Only because like a good club, you pay a cover. You get in. And have your world rocked.
Unfortunately, at this club, your world won't get rocked. It may get ruined.
Before I get all negative, there are a couple of redeeming factors:
1. Parking is decent. The lot of set up in such a way, that most spots are fairly close to the door via different angles. Important, particularly in the summer.
2. The store is fairly easy to navigate and even on it's busiest days, isn't full of jackasses who don't know how to push a large shopping cart.
Why does it suck?
1. Unlike my Costco in St. George, there is no self check-out. So if you are going to buy 4-5 items, you are stuck behind some corner store owner who is buying his yearly supply of pretzels, Kirkland products (not to be sold to sell individually), and all kinds of other crap. Prepare to wait and hour or two. Bring a book. And a shaving kit, because by the time you get to the checkout register, you'll have a beard. Ok, I kid. Maybe not. But be prepared to wait.
2. If you are a foodie, this isn't the Costco for you. Many other Costco's in various cities through California, Utah, and Washington offer a fantastic selection on gourmet foods. For example, I have to drive all the way to St. George to get "Extra Light Virgin Olive Oil". #costcofail
3. BATHROOMS!! The bathrooms are not very clean. I consistently report bathroom hygiene because it's important to me. Cleanliness is next to Yelpliness. And Yelpliness is all I can stand. I expect more from Costco. I pay for my membership. It's a club. Let me feel exclusive.
The negatives are not necessarily dealbreakers for my Costco membership. There is some real value in being a card carrying member. It's just this particular location that doesn't live up to my expectations. I've seen some really great locations. My standards are high.
