Costco Wholesale is a members-only warehouse selling a huge variety of items including bulk groceries, electronics, and more. It is great for shopping in bulk with really good pricing and huge portions. The store has staple items you can count on and also brings out new items, and it is nice to be able to sample things on certain days. The staff and employees are frequently described as wonderful, nice, and hard-working. Specific departments, like the hearing aid center, are noted for providing great, efficient service and important help. Employees are recognized for being so helpful. Some practical notes concern the parking lot and store layout. Parking can be hectic and the lot is very tight, with small spaces that make navigating with large carts difficult. The traffic pattern for the gas station is considered awkward with too few pumps. While the store is okay, newer locations are laid out much better. However, if you park a few rows back, the experience can be much better.
They don't always have everything they have on sale, and they keep rearranging the aisles, making it harder to get in and out if you know what you want. Becoming a little more retail in that aspect.

It's also nice to be able to sample things on certain days. This particular Costco is the one I go to most frequently

Parking can be hectic if you are the type of person that must park in front, but if you lay back a few rows it can be heaven. Politely, "calm down" they aren't going to run out of toilet paper.
