I like this BJ's store most of the time. There are never any crowds here, probably because they don't do good sales, charge more than Costco for most items *but they take manufacturers' coupons*, and never open enough checkout lanes. The produce is not that great. The food is not very fresh. Also there are not many samples! It's not like a treasure hunt at this store. However, the bakery is very nice and their breads are gourmet. I like their cookies too. The clothing department is not too good. Their stuff is not too stylish.
Worst of all, the staff can be very rude and unfriendly at times. They are not happy with their work and sometimes it takes a manager to fix a problem.
I much prefer Costco, where the staff are cheerful and the prices are low. But, since I got my membership as a gift, I'll be back. Hopefully they'll survive.
