Costco
Reviews
Love this store! They always have what I am looking for and it's always a better deal than Walmart or the local grocery stores. Also, to reply at a previous review, the reason there is a line to have your receipt checked as you go out the door is because they don't bag the groceries. If they didn't do that, the prices would always be jacked up because people would be walking out of the store with carts full of stuff.
I like the ability to buy things in bigger quantities for those items that I need a lot of. Their photo department really leaves a lot to be desired. After a few attempts to print my Christmas cards through their online service, they all came back way too dark. I even tried to brighten the photos online and they came back looking exactly the same. I was told I needed to calibrate my monitor to their printers and I responded that there was no 100% to accurately do that. I would have liked to have been assisted by the photo guys and have them help me get the best results for my photos, but they were too busy getting everyone else's photos printed off. I did get a 100% refund and took my photos elsewhere and got much better results.
These guys are great. They'll help you with anything!
You buy stuff and then it falls apart
Having to show my membership is expected as with all costco (and similar) clubs. Irritating but what they do. Decent deals but you've got to be smart because bigger containers doesn't mean value! Very impulse driven sales techniques and always moving stuff around. There are some neat things from time to time but if you like it, buy it before it's gone. You never know if it will be there again. Absolutely HATE waiting in a line to check out and then wait in a single very long line for someone to draw a line on my receipt to get out the door. It's a terrible way to thank customers for shopping!
