Costco

Haha why is getting gas always a cluster F*** here? And when all you want is to get what you need and escape from the store, your finding road blocks at every food sampling table as people are waiting for the next hand out. Argh! Today was a day I didn’t feel like being desperate for a piece of cheese and a cracker as I watched the crowds hover around the poor table attendants as they couldn’t put those snacks out fast enough.
Parking is a mess but I suggest get some steps in walk a little bit and park towards the back and don’t stress while you enjoy a leisure walk burning those calories.
Costco is Costco and you can’t beat the deals!

It’s Costco! What else do I need to say? It’s the Disneyland of shopping. Good quality products, cool «stuff», decent prices with the occasional awesome deal, unmatched return policy, cheap gas and some ridiculous amounts of free samples! Like I said, It’s Costco! Five Stars, DUH!

It’s Costco! It’s not the most modern Costco and I have had to go to a different Costco because they didn’t have the computer I wanted. The food shack is outside so if the weather is bad it won’t be comfortable to eat there. This Costco seems to always be busy. I have handicap parking and if I don’t get there early the handicap parking can be full which makes it difficult for me.

Costco is a great chain. I find I buy practically everything there now a days. If you can be disciplined in your spending, you can save a lot of money by buying in bulk. When I came to this location, I was able to find what I needed and make my purchase quickly. They also have a gas station as well as are close by to an entrance for the toll road.

Worst Costco food court I’ve ever been to. I put in a order for a whole combo pizza. The person on the phone is either high or just plain stupid. When I got there to pick up the pizza they gave me a half and half. I showed them my receipt that I’ve paid for a while combo and made it clear it’s a whole combo. In the end they still manage to screw it up and not one apology from anyone. I can say I would never go to this Costco again.

They don’t let just anyone in off the street. Costco is a magical place that’s exclusively for high society. Their pizza is great!

Super clean and modern costco. The frozen food selection seems to better than other costcos. I just bought frozen Samosas here, that you cannot get anywhere else.

If you factor price versus quality its hard to go wrong at the Costco Food Court.
The all beef hotdog is juicy, tasty and a portion size plenty worthy of $ 1.50 which includes a soda with free refills. The bun is a bit small for the medium-​sized dog but who needs more carbs these days anyway?
The Raspberry Brisk Tea (first time trying) tastes mostly like raspberry to me but tastes like plum to the wife. It is sweet but moderately so and tastes good if you’re not a soda fan. For someone who is feeling the economic crisis out there Costco is a welcome sight for these eyes.

When I was a kid, a trip to the regular grocery store consisted of me throwing in a dozen Jesus candles in our cart while memaw wasn’t looking. I would hide in the aisles as she would angrily search for her cart in confusion.
Imagine me now in a warehouse full of bulk items, oh joy! Woo hoo!!!
While there is a shortage of Jesus candles at Costco, there is wide array of everything you could need, (pssst) probably should get, and items you don’t need but want for the heck of it (in mass quantities! Yes!!!)
With the convenience of bulk, it now only takes 1 trip down the aisle to fill memaw’s cart with such glorious items as giant bears and booze.
Don’t forget to sample the samples, fantastic way to keep your company un-​crankified while you shop ;)

Love shopping here. They have everything in bulk and great quality like any other costco but staff are super friendly and very helpful too.

Best place for photo prints. Set of 4 passport size (2×2) is 4.99 only. Anywhere else it is 12.99 for set of two. Professional and fast. The prints were ready in 10 minutes.

I love all Costco stores, but this one has the nicest employees!
Costco is an amazing store with great inventory as well as a great selection of organic products that seems to get better every week!
Yes, parking is a nightmare, but I usually just park with ease in one of the far away spots and walk over. If you try for the closer spots it’s too much of a headache!

Great Costco Store! I usually buy the Wonderful roasted and salted pistachios with shells and it ruins my manicure. New is the no shell, Wonderful roasted & salted pistachios which are great.
Also I buy and recommend Cabot — Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese Aged over 2 years and Kirkland Organic Salsa Med. I like to go until 3 pm and after 5 pm so that I can sample Costco’s snacks… and I fill up my tank with gasoline.

Let me start by saying I love this Costco. This review is for what happened in the women’s restroom.
I was at this location on a Monday morning not too long after it opened. I was accompanying my elderly disabled friend. She needed to use the restroom, so I walked along side of her electric scooter, then helped her walk into the restroom.
The handicapped stall nearest the entrance was occupied, so I walked my friend to the farthest handicapped stall. It’s was slow going, but we made it.
While waiting for my friend to exit the stall, I see a Costco employee exit the handicapped stall nearest the entrance. She WAS NOT handicapped and could have used one of the other 3 open stalls.
That employee should have known better. We love this Costco and this is the first time we’ve encountered this inconvenience.
If this happens again I will be a tattle tale. You’ve been warned female Costco employees! Grrrrr!!!

Great location, I find random stuff here that’s pretty great at times, I find great deals on trail mixes and watches here my better half found me a great pen not to long ago among the glass cases, this location is worth checking out!

Does Costco really need to be reviewed? It’s amazing! I get my inks filled here for $ 9, I get my gas which is always cheap and it pumps fast, the deals they have on clothes are crazy good, just bought a Greg Norman pull over ¾ zip for $ 14.99. Avoid weekend shopping of you can, either go mid week of before closing and you will avoid the lines.

Okay, how can anyone possibly give a Costco a one star review? Even I can’t do that, so I must state that I am really only leaving a review for their Christmas tree lot. This was just too weird, and very uncomfortable.
I paid for the eight foot noble fir inside Costco, and took my receipt across the parking lot to pick out my tree. It was drizzling, and pretty miserable out, so the less-​than-​enthusiastic looking employees should be forgiven. What was shocking though, is that after you show them the receipt, they go in the truck and bring out a tree, all wrapped up tight. «Is this one okay?» «No. It looks like a banana.» Back in the truck. «How about this one?» «Can you open it up so I can see it? I don’t want to go home with a Charlie Brown tree.» «No. We aren’t allowed to open them up.»
This was like a grab bag event. I was standing there with my wife and three kids, preparing for the much-​looked-​forward-​to selection of the perfect tree. I was momentarily taken aback. The one other customer, who was there before me, but still hadn’t selected his tree, was waiting to see what I would do. I told them that I wouldn’t be taking a tree if I couldn’t see it first, and went off to Home Depot, in the rain, and found a beautiful one for $ 15 more.
It is worthy of mention that Costco does not cut the base of the tree for watering, and all this is something you would need to do yourself, if you opt for a «whatcha gonna get» surprise.

I got tires for the Nissan Altima 2008 rotated for free at the Costco Tire Center. One of the many benefits of being a Costco member, isn’t that great? I went in at an off-​peak time (at least I believe it was) and spoke to Angel. He coordinated with me as to the drop off and pick up of the Altima (it’s Silver!) and took down my phone number so he could reach me if the car was finished ahead of time or if they were running late.
Another man did the rotation; I didn’t catch his name but he had a gold stud earring in his right ear. Both men were courteous, efficient and responsible. My ride was clean when I picked it up; no oil smudges or dirt anywhere. Everything inside was left as it was. My vehicle and the contents in it were left intact and mostly untouched, save for the glove compartment, where the wheel lock was supposed to be, and the trunk. My wheel lock was somehow in the trunk and not the glove compartment. Did my cat move it out of the glove??? Anyhow, everything was done quickly and competently. Vote for these men to be Employee of the Month, why don’t you?

I really like this Costco because it is closer to home and hard to find… It’s not always packed like the other Laguna Niguel store or the warehouse in Irvine. Items are almost always in stock, it’s exceptionally clean and free of clutter, and the employees are much more willing to help with whatever you may need; be it a heavy item from the top shelf or a smile and friendly conversation.
Came in today for a tube of Dixie paper bowls, Dawn Platinum dish soap, a month supply of Kashi bars and Quaker oatmeal… Also ended up purchasing a giant nutcracker and a pretty durable artificial Christmas tree.
It’s a week before Thanksgiving and Costco is now my one-​stop holiday shopping center… It’s now beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Pros: Costco is especially fun during weekends when they have all the free samples!!! Today, they had vitamix smoothies and the Vietnamese iced coffee from Lee’s samples which were both great. Roya at the sample stand for the yogurt dip and chips was sooo sweet and friendly! Their organic strawberries are the cheapest price I can find anywhere and so are their organic bananas.
Cons: The parking is always packed and the checkout lanes are long on the weekends. You have to pay an annual membership fee. They don’t accept Visa/​MasterCard.
