Costco Pharmacy is noted for having the cheapest prices with some insurance plans. The pharmacists are generally described as great, helpful, and very familiar with medicines. However, experiences with other staff vary, with some being nice and others described as rude, including specific criticism of a front-end worker. The pharmacy has limited hours and offers little privacy due to its open location within the store, though it is convenient for existing shoppers. The wider store is clean, well-stocked, and has clearly labeled prices. Layout includes groceries and health items on the left, housewares on the right, and snacks, clothing, and furniture in the center. Paper goods, frozen food, meat, bakery, produce, and wine are in the back. A significant criticism involves a confusing and frustrating checkout line process, especially for non-members using self-checkout. Some find the product selection limited in categories like baby needs, with only a few brands available, and note that prices can be higher than at other wholesale clubs. Management has been known to apologize for poor experiences and request another chance. Shoppers advise visiting early or late to avoid crowds and long lines.
Staff was helpful and considerate. Went above and beyond to resourcefully fill my dog's emergency prescription where three other pharmacies hadn't.

Lower cost medicine, saves us 50% on some prescriptions.

Limited hours. Some staff are nice, others are rude. Not really any privacy because you’re right in the store. But convenient if you already shop here.
