Why would people criticize an over hyped flea market under a drippy roof. The nerve of some people. Costco is the gutter of American retail. Its true that no one should expect something above or beyond from a warehouse outfit. What is ridicilous the midiocre selection of products, which you are pigeon holed into buying if want to make up your membership dues. You could do this if you buy a big ticket item like a flat screen, although the prices aren't really competitive and the selection is low end and usually out dated. Their groceries are limited and usually of inferior brands or quality. This usually means one national brand and Kirland (the store brand). Their inventory is based on what they can get on the cheap. Then you have a no where to be found customer service. A twenty minute wait to check out because most of the registers are closed isn't surprising. To understaff is one thing, to expect people to put up with it is another. Yes...Costco.
