Costco Wholesale is a members-only warehouse selling a huge variety of items including bulk groceries, electronics, and more. It is described as a shopper's paradise with great finds, unbeatable value, an incredible selection, and competitive prices. The store is known for its high-quality products and Kirkland Signature brand. Many note the clean stores and a positive, rewarding shopping experience with a convenient return policy, often summarized as "shop with confidence." Feedback on staff is mixed, with some employees having a good and friendly attitude, while others can be less welcoming. Some members find specific rules regarding payment at checkout, which requires a card in the member's name, to be inconvenient and not clearly explained. The membership line is often long and time-consuming. The store only accepts Visa credit cards. While there are some negatives, the overall experience is considered okay to very good, with the bulk-buying model and membership perks providing significant value.
