“I love Costco. Is my place to go for shopping and also online no doubt. I'm giving 4*s because I was waiting for my food order and I saw how the server put the receipt by the plate but then she decided to put it on top of the pizza?. I don't spect the server to be perfect cause they are busy but man this was another level. I'm pretty sure she would not eat that pizza.”

“I’ve been having a pretty hard time getting around since I Injured my knee earlier this summer. I need surgery on it, and need the electronic scooters to get around in store. Now many stores you go to, especially other large chains, do not have motorized scooters readily available. You typically have to ask around, stand and wait, and sometimes I have even left because stores have none available. At the Meijer in Elgin, there is a greeter at the front of the store name Toni/T”

“No lines, customer service down to an art. Vaccines are available, quick and easy. Notifications are timely and staff is communicative. 100% satisfaction. Adding on our most recent experience taking children for the nasal flu mist, amazing. The pharmacist who helped us was SO patient and kind and our kids did amazing there with the interaction while trying something new. Sometime I’ll have to try the scheduling ahead feature just to see how that is.”

“My coffee machine recently broke, so I started stopping here for a cup before work. I thought it would just be for a few days, but it's been a month, and it's become part of my routine. Kristy rings me up every morning, and she's an absolute delight. It genuinely feels like visiting a friend, to the point where I feel bad if I miss a few days. Maybe it's just me craving that small-town community feel, but the fact that I get it here should tell you everything about the atmosphere the staff has created.”
